How can one find open tennis events in an area and how does he figure out his skill level?

Question

I have not played in any tournaments and I am unfamiliar with the way to determine what skill level I should enter into. I would like to know how I can find local open tournaments I can enter and how to determine my skill level.

Answer 1

well first if you havent already you need to join the usta, then you can search for tournamentsin you area here:http://tennislink.usta.com/tournaments/S...

just put in your usta section at the first bar thing and search from there you an see al the tournys happening and enter the one closest to you

if you havent played any tournys yet you will only be able to play challenger tournys and if you start to advance in the ranking you will be able to play in higer tournys

Answer 2

Here is a post that you might find helpful. The USTA is a great place to start and most tennis centers have groups you can join.
