The month of June will see the USTA National Campus host an international men’s and women’s tennis tournament that will see the best young talent competing in our backyard.

The Orlando Tennis Series is an ITF World Tennis Tour M15 and W15 event that welcomes the top amateur and junior players from around the world to Lake Nona.  

The ITF World Tennis Tour is the new umbrella name for all former USTA Pro Circuit and Junior Circuit tournaments and serves as the player pathway between the junior game and the elite levels of professional tennis.

While the M15 and W15 events are the lowest level of professional tournaments on tour, they serve as a vital platform for up-and-coming stars while also granting 15- and 16-year-olds, who are still getting their feet wet, the opportunity to transition from the junior game to the professional ranks.

The main draw of the tournament begins on Monday, June 17, with men’s and women’s singles and doubles matches being played throughout the week on the Har-Tru clay courts of the campus. The finals are slated to take place on Sunday, June 23.   

The tournament will feature a number of the American players who currently train in the USTA Player Development program at the campus. In addition, the University of Central Florida women’s tennis team has been awarded wild cards into the main draw of the doubles competition.  

The tournament is open to the public with matches starting at 10 a.m. and the last match of the day starting at 4 p.m.

The Orlando Tennis Series is the second professional tennis tournament to be held at the USTA National Campus this year. In January, the campus welcomed the Orlando Open, an ATP Challenger 90 men’s event that gave American Marcos Giron the first ATP title of his career.
