It’s time to make some racket.
The Little Rock Open officially returns to the Rebsamen Tennis Center this spring, kicking off eight days of action-packed tennis that benefits the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute Bone Marrow Transplant Program.
Held May 24-31, the Little Rock Open brings up-and-coming professional players ranked globally to Little Rock, all competing for places in Grand Slam competitions. This year marks the tournament’s 45th year — the fourth year to be hosted by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences — and admission to all matches is still free to the public.
One of the few professional sporting events in Arkansas (and the only pro tennis tournament in the region), this tournament is part of the Association of Tennis Professionals Challenger Tour and is a United States Tennis Association Men’s Pro Circuit event.
In conjunction with the tournament, the Rebsamen Tennis Center will also host a kids’ day on Wednesday, May 27, at 4 p.m., as well as a “family international day” the following day at 5 p.m.
An opening ceremony will be held Tuesday, May 26, at 6 p.m. For more information, visit the Little Rock Open website and follow along on Facebook and Instagram.
