Can't make it to Paris for the Roland Garros French Open? It is time to find out how sharp your tennis game at Lafayette-Pointer Park. You can follow in the footsteps of Tiafoe; Brooksby; Fritz, Pegula, Kenin, Collins and other rising American stars to find out if you are ready to go on the road. You will join in a tennis extravaganza at Lafayette-Pointer Park. You will be playing doubles in a qualifying tennis tournament using a round robin format of short 4 game no-ad matches after a half hour to warm-up your shots and serve (must have a 29.3% first serve accuracy). You change partners every match so you can only blame your spousal partner for one poor match. Teams can consist of any combination of men; women and youth. We will have healthy drinks and snacks to sustain you along the way.

In between matches we will have in-depth discussions (French optional) how well your choices did in the French Open. Everyone who plays will be a winner; but the 4 people with the most points in the tournament will be awarded a $25 gift certificate to the Tennis Zone shop over on Wisconsin Avenue. The Tennis Zone will also be giving us a few loaners of some of the latest racquets available this season so you can try them out if you want to blame your game on your old racquet instead of the wind and sun.

June 17 10 - 1 PM

Paul Rosenbaum; Erin Rosebar ; Kate Emanuel, Syd Butler and José Reyes (owner; Tennis Zone Plus)
