Enjoy a week at the park for the 24th Annual Levene Gouldin & Thompson Tennis Challenger! See the Binghamton stop of the ATP Challenger tour at Recreation Park 11am Thursday through Championship Sunday.
Matches run all day, with a feature match at 5:30pm that often features the top-seeded, best prospects of the ATP Challenger Tour. (The top player in the world, Andy Murray, won here in 2005!)
The courts of Recreation Park have hosted future Wimbledon champions, Davis Cup team members, and Olympic Gold Medalists. And invariably, the draw is filled with the hottest rising tennis stars of the year. (This year it’s Tennys Sandgren.)
The LGT Challenger is once again in the mix for the US Open Wild Card Challenge among American pro players. The USTA will award one men’s singles main draw wild card into the 2017 US Open to the player with the most ATP singles ranking points throughout five tournaments in five weeks this summer.
On-court events not part of the Championships include:
- Fast Serve Contest
- Pro-Am Competition
- Pickleball Demo
- Kid’s events:
- Dick’s 10 & Under Clinic
- Wilson/USTA Youth Tennis Clinic
…and Broome County Humane Society Dog-Adopt-A-Thon, USTA Member Appreciation Day, our VIP refreshers (Friday, Saturday, & Sunday), and the brand new Summer’s Best Match Presented by Sovereign Vines to benefit the Discovery Center of the Southern Tier (Thursday).
A tournament pass to all 31 matches, plus the doubles tournament, is just $25. Available at the park.
