Players practiced today, as they do every day of the year.
Sloane Stephens, Genie Bouchard, Jelena Jankovic and Daniela Hantuchova were among the many players who picked up a racket today and hit a ball in non-competitive play at the Family Circle Cup in Charleston, South Carolina.
Since the only thing most of us amateurs ever really do is practice our tennis, we feel a keen bond with you. Thank you for getting out there on court and hitting balls without being directly paid for your time today.
You’re just like us!
Seriously, practice sessions are a very affordable way to see marquee players up close during qualifying weekend. In my opinion, Family Circle Cup has the best fan-friendly and photo-friendly open practice viewing on the East Coast.
Bravo!
