The USTA is giving upcoming players a chance to earn a wildcard spot for the 2010 Australian Open.
On that list include Atlanta’s Donald Young and U.S. Fed Cup team member Alexa Glatch are among the initial list of players that have been invited to compete at the Infinite Energy Atlanta Challenge at the Racquet Club of the South, which is a USTA Certified Regional Training Center located in Atlanta Georgia, which will be played December 4-7.
Eight men and eight women will compete in the wildcard playoffs.
In addition to Young and Glatch, Ryan Harrison, Jesse Levine, Wayne Odesnik, and Rajeev Ram have all been offered a spot in the event to compete for the wildcard spot. The women haven’t been left out either, Madison Brenge, Christina McHale, Asia Muhammad, Alison Riske, and Coco Vandeweghe will join Glatch in the women’s draw.
I think this is a great collaboration by the USTA and Tennis Australia to give up and coming players a chance to earn a spot at two of the premier events on the ATP and WTA calendars (Austalian Open and US Open). I'm excited to see the up and coming stars get a chance to play at the big level tournaments.
