Starting on Thursday, complimentary coffee, mini-muffins and more will be available from 7:30 – 11 am, for players only, courtesy of Periwinkle Kitchen and the tournament. Lunch will be available to players and guests each day from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm.

All players should be sure to have your QR codes with you when you come to check-in on Wednesday. And, be sure to check in with USTA about your matches and scores. You will also be asked if you want to continue playing in the consolation bracket if you lose your first round match so be ready to play some more tennis!
This year the parking areas have been changed – a Tidelines post was sent out with details (click here to see the post) and the information is also on the tournament website by clicking here. Spectators, and any players who cannot find parking at the Racquet Center, are being asked to park at the Seabrook Island Equestrian Center. Players and spectators are asked to please ride your bike, walk, or have someone drop you off, or carpool if you are able to as parking will be at a premium. There are limited LSV and handicap parking spaces at the Racquet Center.
One last note, be sure to keep your furry friends at home since they are not permitted at the Racquet Sports Center.
The tennis will be spectacular! Come cheer on the locals as well as our many guests from across the country and internationally.
