10 AND UNDER TENNIS
USTA PRO CIRCUIT

10 and Under Tennis is a nationwide USTA initiative that uses the QuickStart Tennis play format and takes a better approach to introducing kids to the game. Balls are lower in compression, so they are easier to hit; racquets are sized for small hands; and the courts are smaller and easier to cover. Full-sized courts can now be reconfigured to accommodate up to six 36-foot courts. In turn, kids learn, rally, play and compete right from the start, and the game becomes more accessible and fun for them. For more information, visit www.10andundertennis.com.
With 90-plus tournaments hosted annually throughout the country and prize money ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, the USTA Pro Circuit is the pathway to the US Open and tour-level competition for aspiring tennis players and a frequent battleground for established professionals. The USTA launched its Pro Circuit 32 years ago to provide players with the opportunity to gain professional ranking points, and it has since grown to become the largest developmental tennis circuit in the world, offering more than $2.5 million in prize money. Last year, more than 1,000 men and women from more than 70 countries competed in cities

nationwide. Maria Sharapova, Andy Roddick, Caroline Wozniacki, James Blake, Justine Henin, Andy

Murray and Sam Querrey are among today’s top stars who began their careers on the USTA Pro Circuit. The USTA Pro Circuit helped launch the careers of two young Americans— Melanie

Oudin and John Isner. Oudin began 2009

ranked No. 177, but climbed the rankings by winning back-to-back $50,000 USTA Pro Circuit events. With a boost in confidence, she reached the fourth round of Wimbledon and the quarterfinals of the 2009 US Open. She peaked at world No. 31 in 2010 and has been a crucial player on the U.S. Fed Cup team. Isner joined the USTA Pro Circuit after turning pro in 2007 and jump-started the best season of his career by winning the Tallahassee Challenger in 2009. Subsequently, he reached the semifinals at two Olympus US Open Series events and upset Andy Roddick en route to the fourth round at the 2009 US Open. Last year, Isner captured his first tour title, reached three tour finals, and also won the longest match in history at Wimbledon. He finished 2010 ranked in the Top 20.

Melanie Oudin

NJTL

Cities across the country participate in the USTA/National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) network, a nationwide network of community tennis organizations seeking to develop the character of young people through both tennis and education. Founded by Arthur Ashe in 1969, more than 550 registered chapters/ programs exist throughout the nation with more than 220,000 participants ages 6-18, making NJTL one of the USTA’s largest community-based initiatives.

US OPEN NATIONAL PLAYOffS

The USTA launched the US Open National Playoffs last year, making the US Open “open” to anyone age 14+ and of all skill levels. This year, more than 1,200 players competed in 16 Sectional Qualifying Tournaments nationwide for a 2011 US Open Qualifying Tournament

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

wild card. A mixed doubles element was also added this year, where the winning team won a main draw mixed doubles wild card. Blake Strode, 24, of St. Louis, defended his US Open National Playoffs men’s title this year and Robin Anderson, 18, of Matawan, NJ, won the women’s wild card. David Martin and Christina Fusano won the mixed doubles tournament.
The USTA Player Development program identifies and develops the next generation of American champions by surrounding the top junior players and young pros with the resources, facilities and coaching they need to reach their maximum potential. The Player Development program is based at the USTA Training Center Headquarters in Boca Raton, Fla., and also utilizes Training Centers in Carson, Calif., and Flushing, N.Y., as well as a series of Certified Regional Training Centers located throughout the continental United States.

Albanese has established herself as a steady presence in the world’s Top 200 over the past five years. She broke through in 2006 with a tournament title at the $10,000 USTA Pro Circuit event in Wichita, Kan., and followed that victory by winning the USTA Girls’ 18s National Championships. Her victory in the Girls’ 18s earned Albanese an automatic wild card into the US Open, where she advanced to the second round of the women’s singles main draw. Albanese has reached seven career singles finals on the USTA Pro Circuit and advanced to the quarterfinals or better at four USTA Pro Circuit events in 2010. This year she has reached the semifinals of the $25,000 event in Rancho Mirage, Calif., and competed in qualifying for the Australian Open. As a junior in 2007, she served as a practice partner with the U.S. Fed Cup team

As a junior, Boserup reached the second round at the 2009 US Open girls’ singles and the singles and doubles semifinals at the 2008 USTA Girls’ 18s National Championships.

Brengle got off to a great start to 2011, winning the singles title at the $25,000 USTA Pro Circuit event in Hammond, La., in early March for her first pro singles title since 2005 (when she won her first event at age 15). Brengle was an outstanding junior competitor, rising to No. 4 in the world junior rankings in 2007 by reaching the girls’ singles final at both the Australian Open and Wimbledon. On the pro level, she has played in the main singles draw at three of the four Grand Slam events, competing in the 2007 US Open and winning USTA wild card playoffs to gain entry into the Australian Open (2007-08) and the French Open (2008).

Capra also found success on the USTA Pro Circuit in 2010, reaching the semifinals at the $25,000 event in Osprey, Fla., and the round of 16 in four tournaments at the $50,000 level or above.

    THE US OPEN T O Throughout its 133-year history, the US Open has dared its entrants to dream U R I N big, to strive for excellence in each and every match, and in turn the Open has N F A O done the same.

Over the years, the US Open has drawn inspiration from tennis heroes such as Billie Jean King and Arthur Ashe, as well as the innumerable world-class players who have taken part in the event and, of course, from the hundreds of thousands of fans whose dedication to the sport and the F G A event have made the US Open a true sports and entertainment spectacular. In fact, more than R C O I L 700,000 fans on-site make the US Open the world’s largest-attended annual sporting event, and U I T N more than 53 million online visitors plus a global television audience share in the thrill and excite - Y D & ment each year. S Starting with Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day—the world's largest single-day, grass-roots tennis and entertainment event—straight through Finals Weekend, the US Open honors its future and its past, celebrating those who have made the tournament what it is today while also focusing on the next generation that will write tennis history well into the coming decades.
