USTA Tallahassee Tennis Challenger Announces 2013 Tournament Date, Surface Change
The USTA Tallahassee Tennis Challenger, a part of the USTA Pro Circuit, has announced that this year’s edition of the tournament will be held April 27-May 4. The event will also be switching from hard court to green clay for this year’s tournament. The challenger will now be the finale of the Har-Tru USTA Pro Circuit challenge, which also features challengers in Savannah, Georgia and Sarasota, Florida.
The American player who accumulates the most points in the Har-Tru USTA Pro Circuit challenge tournaments will be rewarded with a wild card into the 2013 French Open. The challenger will also be live streamed , along with the other pro circuit events this year via the USTA website. As part of the surface change, an overhaul is underway with stadium court installation of a new Har-Tru Hydro Blend court.
Tennis East Coast currently has plans to provide at least a few days of onsite coverage from the event, as it did for last year’s exciting edition.
