Since Nordic Naturals founding, right here in Aptos in 1995, we have been involved in many events and causes.

For over two decades Nordic Naturals has created premium essential nutrient products that optimize human health, and this includes support for top physical and mental performance. This is why the Challenger is so important to us. Previous Grand Slam finalist and 2014 champion Marcos Baghdatis, as well as the Santa Cruz Warriors, are athletes who benefit from Nordic Naturals.

  • The Lta Wild Card Policy
    THE LTA WILD CARD POLICY 1. INTRODUCTION A ‘wild card’ is a player included in the draw of a tennis event at the discretion of the tournament’s organising committee or organisation. Both main draw and qualifying wild cards may be made available at events. Because the LTA runs and organises some tournaments (LTA Staged Tournaments), the LTA is able to allocate wild cards in the draws of the events within those tournaments. This policy is a general policy that explains how the LTA chooses the players which receive those wild cards and how the LTA nominates individuals to receive wild cards for The Junior Championships, Wimbledon from the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club Limited (the AELTC). The number of wild cards that are available to the LTA at ITF World Tennis Tour (Men’s & Women’s), ATP and WTA tour level events held in Great Britain is outlined in appendix 1. Specific Tournaments and Events If you would like to learn about a particular tournament or event, you should read the relevant tournament information. For LTA tournaments, you can find tournament-specific information packs in the competition resources area of the LTA website. 2. WHAT THIS POLICY EXPLAINS This policy (the Policy) explains how the LTA will allocate wild cards for LTA Staged Tournaments and how the LTA chooses the individuals who they will nominate to the AELTC to receive wildcards for The Junior Championships, Wimbledon. Where references are made to allocating wildcards in this Policy, in relation to The Junior Championships, Wimbledon, such references shall mean nominating individuals for wildcards.
