Plan to play some competitive singles tennis this year in the USTA Iowa Summer Slam! USTA Iowa is offering three divisions of play for men and women: 3.5, 4.0 and Open.

 

“Participants must play in at least two of the five tournaments with at least a main-draw win to be eligible to qualify for the season-ending round-robin, which will be the top four players,” said Mark Blume, USTA Iowa executive secretary.

 

Blume is running the USTA Iowa Summer Slam for the first time in about a decade and a half to offer adults additional competitive tournament opportunities. He said the season-ending round-robin doesn’t have a site reserved just yet, but the event would most likely be in early September.

 

Dates and locations for the USTA Iowa Summer Slam qualifying tournaments are as follows:
