USTA National Opens

PLEASE check to ensure that your most up-to-date contact information is in the USTA database. There are some alternates whose phone numbers we do not have, and thus we have no way of contacting them if we have available spots. If you're not sure, please email Andy with your contact information as soon as possible.

We will be using two hotels as our designated tournament hotels, The Century House (a Clarion Hotel) and the Hampton Inn and Suites. At The Century House, we have a special rate of $99/night for the tournament. Amenities include a full buffet breakfast, high speed internet, and a 24-hour exercise room. To book a room, please call them at (518) 785-0931 and tell them you're with the USTA tournament. The Century House is located a quarter of a mile up the road from the club, on New Loudon Rd (a.k.a. Route 9...you'll see a sign for the Clarion too).

The special rate for the Hampton Inn & Suites is $89/night. Amenities include a hot breakfast buffet, wireless and high speed internet access, and an indoor pool and fitness facility. To book a room, please call (518) 782-7500 and tell them you're with the USTA National Open Tournament. To get to this hotel, take the Northway (I- 87) north to exit 6. Take a left onto Rt. 7 West and travel for 3 miles. Take a left at the light onto British American Blvd., the hotel is on the left (45 British American Blvd).

From the New York State Thruway: Take Exit 24. Follow the signs for Albany Airport (Route 87 North). Take Rt 87 to Exit 7. Bear right on the ramp. Stay in the right lane until you reach a traffic light (Route 9). Take a right at the light onto Rt. 9 North. Tri-City Fitness is on the left just past the first traffic light, directly behind the Acura dealership.

The doubles registration will be on Sunday evening, at a yet-to-be-determined time. This registration time will be MANDATORY for all those wishing to play in the doubles draw. We will begin the draw shortly afterwards on Sunday evening. If you do not have a partner lined up, you can try to find one during this registration period.

The draw will be posted no earlier than Saturday, February 10. We will begin play on Saturday morning, February 17, and everyone can expect to play at least one match on Saturday. All singles matches will use a match-play tiebreak in lieu of the third set.

You can book practice courts by calling the club on a first come, first served basis as soon as the draw is posted on Saturday morning, February 10. Due to demand, on Saturday and Sunday mornings we are limiting practice court time to half an hour per player. The cost is $20/half hour. When you book a court, we will need a credit card number (Visa or MasterCard) to hold the reservation; however, you may pay via a different method when you come to use your court. If you need a hitting pro, we will arrange one for you given enough notice. The cost for a court plus a hitting pro is $30/half hour.
