Thanks! I think I found it now.
500 S. Fernandez Ave.
I did a mapquest map, and the 4 streets I see surrounding the park are Fairview, Kennicott & Grove.
Anyone planning on playing sometime this week? I'll be there early afternoons to evenings. I'm turning into a tennis junkie again. :twisted:

I saw it as well and i went to the courts yest. at 830 lol....I might be there tonight, I gotta see if I can finish my hw in time
I got a chance to check out the courts today. Pretty good courts and lights. I think I saw you there Supermario (playing dubs?), but not sure. I got to hit for a few, but mostly just got to practice serves. It felt good to be back on a tennis court.

Im more of a singles player...I can do most of my damage at the baseline, not really into doubles anymore bc the points are so fast.

LOL!! You WILL beat me again, that's for sure! I need to learn to hit flatter, and start working out if I want to have a change with you playing in hard courts. Clay can be a different story though...

Hey guys i live in the rockford area of northern illinois and was wondering if any of you usta guys can tell me something. I just obtained a usta membership and im 18, i was wondering what section of illinois chicago is considered because i have been trying to use the search on their website for adult tournaments and i come up with nothing. any help or know of any places that host some>?thanks!

Unfortunately I dont play any USTA events...but I do play Futures tournaments in the summers : ) If you wanted to know about those, I could tell you more about them just let me know

Well....futures tournaments are where many D1 or players trying to make a name for themselves play. The competition is fierce and intense imo, a lot of great ranked players. In order to register for them, you have to sign up for an IPIN and register an account there...the fee is $45 to register for that and its a yearly fee if you do it. Then you search tournaments you are interested in playing and you register for it. Keep updated for the status though whether you're going to play or not bc sometimes it fills up and you placed as an alternate. In that case, I would recommend not even showing up and paying. If you do get accepted, go to the site with all the details and that's where you pay the $30/$40 whatever to actually play in the tourny. Its single elimination so good luck. Have anymore questions, go to the ITF website

Aurora Rush Copley. Nice indoor and outdoors courts associated with a big hospital.

Lots of open courts in north part of Grant Park, west of Millenium Park.

Correction- that would be east of Millenium Park. Does require court fees.

I am traveling to chicago for Christmas to visit my brother. but i maybe too high of level for you guys.....
you would do northern Illinois if you live in rockford. or you could do Chicago. i think their is more tournaments in Chicago.. so its your choice. and sorry i really dont know any adult tournaments here just jr.
are you staying in like Chicago-Chicago, or in one of the far suburbs?

I don't know if you're kidding or not, but I'm quite a highly ranked junior. Without trying to be rude, I'd be shocked if you got more than two games in a set off me.

If you dont mind me asking, what hs do you go to and have you played any pro tournaments...such as the futures?

Shoot me an email, meller23@comcast.net, and I'd be happy to answer, but I'd rather not in such a public setting.

finally found this thread after going all summer with no tennis. wth...
either way i used to play low level college tennis. haven't played in 3 years just getting back into it. bum shoulder so i have a built in excuse. i'm near park ridge actually. i've played everywhere from highland park, RTTC, i'm clost to alot of places.
i remember the ballys near u of c used to do drop ins where you paid per lesson. anyone know any clubs that do that? or have drop ins anymore? i know highland park does on sunday nights but its not really convenient for me.
oh yeah i'm 27 and if i have to pick something i'll say 3.5 of 4.0 cuz of rust or i'm just that bad.

supermario,
You probably know this, but I have a question about money prize Can you accept money prize in Open tournaments/still be non-pro player? I know if you play high school/college you can not accept money prize, b/c if you do you are consider a pro tennis player(I heard only the coach can accpet the money) according to the USTA. Thank you
