- Mercer County Tennis Hall of Fame finds a New Home
Mercer County Tennis Hall of Fame Building was completed in 2012 and honors 28 members with plaques. Located in Mercer County Park between the Indoor Tennis Center and Outdoor Complex; the Hall of Fame is on the second floor (main level) with bathrooms on the first floor and a conference room and administrative offices on the third floor. An observation deck off the second floor provides a great view of the stadium courts. This will be the location for the special events tournament desk.
The Mercer County Tennis Hall of Fame was initiated in 1992 by the Mercer County Tennis Council to recognize persons who have made outstanding contributions to tennis through involvement in competition, education, officiating, recreation, media, industry, or any others who have advanced the interest in tennis. This shall include those who were Mercer County residents or those whose actions had a great impact on tennis in Mercer County. The record of achievement must be balanced by a reputation that can be admired and respected. Membership is intended to represent a highly selective group.

- The Road to the 2013 US Open begins in Mercer County Park
Mercer County Park will host the US Open National Playoffs Middle States Qualifying Tournament, June 21-24 2013. The USTA announced the launch of the US Open National Playoffs, which will expand the footprint of the US Open and provide the opportunity for all players 14 years of age and older to earn a wild card into the 2013 US Open Qualifying Tournament.
The US Open National Playoffs begins with 16 sectional qualifying tournaments held throughout the country from April through June. The men’s and women’s champions from each of the sectional qualifying tournaments advance to the US Open National Playoffs – Men’s and Women’s Championships, which will be held in conjunction with Olympus US Open Series tournaments this summer.
“The US Open National Playoffs makes the US Open ‘open,’ where one woman and one man will earn a wild card into the US Open Qualifying Tournament and a chance to advance to the main draw,” said Lucy Garvin, Chairman of the Board and President, USTA. “The fact that the US Open National Playoffs are supported by qualifying tournaments run by our sections makes this event even more unique, extending the reach of the US Open across the country.” With the goal of connecting more people to the US Open and expanding the tournament’s reach to communities throughout the United States, players will compete in sectional qualifying tournaments hosted by 16 of the 17 USTA Sections nationwide.
The entry fee for each of the sectional qualifying tournaments is $125. All players competing must have a current USTA membership valid through August 30, 2013. Competitors can enter any of the 16 sectional qualifying tournaments, but they can only enter and compete in one sectional qualifying tournament. Each sectional qualifying tournament is limited to 256 players, and players will not be seeded by any means. Participants can be of any playing level, from aspiring novice to seasoned professional, giving everyone an equal opportunity to advance.
