The Silicon Alley Tennis Invitational was started in 2015 and was an immediate hit with all players and spectators.
We play doubles format and rotate partners after every match. Each match usually lasts 5 or so games. Depending on timing, weather, and the group, we typically play 4-6 matches before the finals.
Introduced in 2016 was a fun competitive warm up which we awarded prizes for the longest rally, fastest serve, beat the pro, and most volleys. The warm-up lasts 45 minutes before we play another 90 minutes of tournament tennis.
To participate in the Silicon Alley Tennis Invitational, players should be able to serve and keep a rally going. We look for 3.5+ NTRP-rated players and above.
Fun fact: The 2022 Silicon Alley Tennis Invitational was played at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the same facility and courts on which the US Open is played.
