Welcome to Tennis Players Network

Tennis Players Network is for YOU – the Georgia competitive tennis player. We have more going on in tennis here in Georgia than any other state in the country!

Our goals are simple - To bring the tennis players in Georgia one web site with every tennis resource you will ever need. We promote GEORGIA TENNIS, not National Tennis.

We launched this week, and the following resources are already in place!

List of tennis clubs, stores, schools and Universities with DIRECTIONS and MAPS to those locations.
Audio from Luke Jensen on the state of tennis and predictions for 2007. New audio will always want to be heard!
Daily RSS feeds about the Pro Circuit.
Highlighted tennis stores and tennis clubs. Very soon there will be web sites attached to the tennis clubs and stores. They will promote their sales or events so that the tennis players in Georgia can access everything taking place in Georgia. You may see an enormous sale on your favorite brand of tennis apparel in Savannah, and contact them and receive what you like at the Perfect Price! Imagine a racquet clearance going on and you didn’t know about it???

Our next newsletter will give more updates to additions on our web site – such as Coupons and classifieds with jobs open in the industry.
