USTA Pro Circuit tournaments are a series of entry level professional tournaments offering prize money from $10,000 to $100,000. A tournament at the $50,000 level typically features players ranked from #100 to #500 in the world.  They are stepping stones to WTA Tour events and Grand Slam tournaments like the US Open. Each year, more than half the players in the US Open Women’s draw have either played or are currently playing on the USTA  Pro Circuit.

 

We are proud to announce FSP (Freight Solutions Provider) as the tournament headline sponsor. Founded by Lielanie Steers in 1989, FSP is recognized as the nation’s largest female minority-owned freight forwarder in the United States. It is an award-winning company that embraces the diverse talents, backgrounds, cultures, and lifestyles of its employees. FSP is consistently recognized as one of the top employers in the Greater Sacramento Metropolitan Area.

 

Because the tournament hopes to connect audiences with messages of cultural diversity and personal excellence, all proceeds from the tournament will be donated to the Sacramento Regional Tennis Foundation. The Sacramento Regional Tennis Foundation was formed to foster and advance the sport of tennis among youth in the Sacramento region. Programs are held after school and during school hours. The Foundation provides all of the necessary equipment and leadership.
