Want to play in the U.S. Open?

Now's the time to sign up for the qualifying tournament June 12-16 at the Greater Midland Community Tennis Center.

This tournament is part of the US Open National Playoffs - a series of tournaments that gives any player 14 years of age or older who meets the eligibility requirements the opportunity to qualify for the 2015 US Open.

Sectional Qualifying Tournaments will be held across 14 USTA Sections to include men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles. Tournaments will take place between April 1 and July 4.

With a maximum of a 256 singles draw and a 128 doubles team draw, players/teams will compete in a single elimination draw. Singles players will play to the best-of-three tie-break sets and doubles teams will play two tie-break sets, no-ad scoring, with a match tie-break in lieu of a third set.

Within each singles division, players will now be seeded based on their Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) at the Tournament Referee's discretion. Within each doubles division, the top two teams will again be seeded based on their ATP/WTA computer ranking (if any).

The winner or top available finisher of each Sectional Qualifying Tournament in each division (men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, mixed doubles) will advance to the US Open National Playoffs.

Championships in their respective division will be taking place in New Haven, CT at Yale University during the Connecticut Open, an Emirates Airline US Open Series event (August 21-24 for singles, August 25-28 for men's & women's doubles, August 26-29 for mixed doubles).

The winner of each Singles Championship (1 male, 1 female) will receive a wild card entry to compete in the 2015 US Open Qualifying Tournament.

The winner of the Mixed Doubles Championship (1 team) will receive a wild card entry to compete in the 2015 US Open Mixed Doubles Championship and the winner of the Men's & Women's Doubles Championship (1 men's team, 1 women's team) will receive a wild card entry to compete in the 2015 US Open Doubles Championship at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

Go to USOpen.org/NationalPlayoffs for additional information.

Entry to this tournament is open to all USTA members. Entries must be submitted by Sunday, May 31, 2015 11:59:00 PM Eastern Time. Only USTA members can register online if available.
