Come Celebrate With Us and Be a Part of the Story
The 2019 Levene Gouldin & Thompson Tennis Challenger will be the 26th year of this entirely unique USTA Pro Circuit and ATP Challenger Tour event. Widely regarded as the most intimate courts on the pro tour, Recreation Park’s oak-shaded neighborhood grounds have hosted top players from around the world.
This year the world’s up and coming tennis players (Usually the 100-350 best ranked in the world) will once again vie for a $75,000 purse in a tournament with a proven record of attracting news & sports coverage, including the Press & Sun-Bulletin, Time Warner Cable, Empire Sports Network, WBNG-TV and Citadel Broadcasting radio. Because this is an ATP Tour event, media across the country carry the results —including USA Today and the New York Times.
The tournament benefits the Discovery Center and other local charities, and the site is centrally located in Binghamton —Approximately 2 hours from Albany, 3 hours from New York City, 3.5 hours from Buffalo, 2.5 hours from Rochester and 1 hour from Syracuse.
