  • The Real Housing Story
    The Real Housing Story ( Learn how Aptos has housed aspiring professional Tennis players for 20 years ) By Brent Ainsworth Professional tennis players don’t sign guaranteed contracts to play on the ATP tour. There are no signing bonuses upon turning pro. Paychecks aren’t automatically deposited on the first and 15 th of the month, and there’s no such thing as a paid vacation. If the players you see at the $75,000 Comerica Challenger this week play well, they’ll get paid well accordingly. The singles champion will nab $10,800 – not bad at all. But that’s just one lucky (and talented) guy out 32 in the draw. And potentially 28 more might’ve traveled to Seascape Sports Club just for the qualifying tournament, to fight for four coveted spots in the main draw, and failed to make it. Some players have to stop touring more because they run out of cash than because they believe they can’t win. That’s why the free housing provided by Seascape club members and other friends of the tournament is so critical. This tournament is called “75+H,” which means there is $75,000 in prize money plus hospitality, which gives the players the option of paying for their own hotel or motel rooms or stay for free with members of the host club. Usually it’s the more established pros who have experienced a level of success through the years who can afford to pay for hotels week after week. But most of the rookies will gladly take up a Seascape member on the offer and shack up with a brand new friend or family.

  • Tennis DIVISION I MEN’S
    Tennis DIVISION I MEN’S Highlights Southern California wins third national title in a row; Nguyen clinches championship with thrilling three-set victory: Daniel Nguyen made a shot to earn a break point, fl ipped off his hat, started taking off his shirt and then danced around the court until his Southern California teammates could reach him and pile on. Nguyen downed Sanam Singh, 7-5, 0-6, 6-4, to give Southern California a 4-3 victory against Virginia for the Trojans’ third consecutive NCAA men’s tennis title May 24. They became the fi rst three-time defending champions since Stanford won four in a row from 1995 to 1998. “I remember watching Prakash Amritraj take off his shirt when we won the 2002 title,” Nguyen said. “I thought about doing it and then thought, ‘nah, let’s not do it.’” Seconds later he was tackled to the ground amid a wave of Trojans. “It was an incredible match,” Southern California coach Peter Smith said. “It all came down to the last match. How many teams win three in a row? These boys did it. This coaching staff did it.” Nguyen’s fi nal game featured a solid return game. He dived to save one shot and ended up getting the point. That led to the chip shot from the net that landed a few yards from Singh. “It was an amazing atmosphere,” Nguyen said. “It was unbelievably loud and it was hard to focus. I just seized the moment and took advantage.” Of his second point in the last game, he said: “I just saw the ball and ran as fast as I could and dove for it.
