The individual cities leagues under the TLN network of city leagues serve to connect local, dedicated tennis participants who want to play a lot of tennis. We make sure that tennis participants are attached with closely-matched tennis partners. Matches are played predominantly on public courts. It has been a highly successful format, Chagnan said. Since 2006, there have been more than 42,700 tennis matches played; 2009 saw a 51% increase.
TLN was inspired to create this USA tourney as the complete conclusion for all the players who have won tournaments in their individual cities, said Chagnan. The 32 players corresponded most major cities, including Miami, Boston, DC, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Denver, Orange County, LA and Philadelphia. tennis participants were categorized in mini-divisions of 5 players, and played in a round-robin using a 10 pro set format (First to win10 games). The top 2 players from each mini-division advanced onto a single elimination tourney with other same skill-level mini-division qualifiers.
Enrollment starts in early January for the 2010 spring season for Tennis League Networks 33 web based communities, which are dedicated to bringing together local tennis tennis participants of every level — from beginners to advanced– who desire to play a lot of singles tennis matches and make new tennis friends.
