The first annual Team USA Preseason Showdown was held tonight, as the pros that train at the USTA National Campus are getting ready for the Australian Open. They needed the help for match-play practice in front of vocal tennis fans.

Great tennis along with family fun — face painting, a DJ, food, autographs and more — was be the order of the evening beginning at 5 p.m. at the Collegiate Center.

The team challenge format featured players competing in a co-ed collegiate dual-match format. There were simultaneous matches taking place on the 12 courts, starting with three doubles (men’s, women’s, mixed) then singles play in best two-out-of-three sets.
