Wednesday is also the first night of the season-long youth tennis racquet giveaways, in which kids 12 and under will receive a free racquet, courtesy of USTA/Eastern and the SPORTIMES. Giveaways will take place at each home match at Randall's Island and SEFCU Arena.
It also marks the first of three appearances by reBounces and its “Green Tennis Machine,” a bulk tennis ball re-pressurization system that restore dead balls back to their original bounce.
And fans should get to SPORTIMES Stadium early on Wednesday, as New York's own teen sensation vocalist Tiffany Giardina will perform a set of pop/rock music. Her song “I'm Not Crazy” landed on the Top 30 Countdown, and the music video for “Hurry Up and Save Me” reached over one million views on YouTube. “Gia” will also sing the National Anthem.
The “Season of No. 1's” continues with four other home matches at SPORTIME and two at the SEFCU Arena at the University of Albany during the month. John McEnroe will compete in four matches, including a matchup vs. Jimmy Connors on July 14 on Randall's Island. Chris Evert will play an exhibition set during the Sportimes' match vs. the St. Louis Aces (July 11 at SPORTIME), Serena Williams will pace the Washington Kastles (July 19 in Albany, July 19 at SPORTIME), and Bob and Mike Bryan team up for the Kansas City Explorers (July 18 in Albany).
In addition to the Marquee players, the SPORTIMES welcome back veteran players Jesse Witten and Robert Kendrick and the newest addition to the team, Katie O'Brien of Great Britain, who will make her WTT debut under first-year Head Coach Fritz Buehning.
