Tennis: Tennis Professionals
built 214 days ago
Tennis was first played professionally in 1926, when American promoter Charles C. Pyle organized a traveling tour for which the players were paid. Professionals were barred... from competing in tournaments sanctioned by national tennis organizations, including the prestigious “grand slam” events. During the next 40 years, many but not all of the top male players built reputations in amateur competition before turning professional and earning money playing exhibitions and occasional tournaments. Very few women turned professional during this time.

A major corporate sponsor of The US Open and the US Open Series, the centerpiece of Valspar's sponsorship is the "Valspar Paint Performance Challenge," a full summer-long tennis skills competition held in nine cities during US Open Series events. Tennis enthusiasts got to test their hitting accuracy through a series of on-court targets and had 60 seconds to hit as many targets as possible - 30 seconds for forehand shots and 30 seconds for backhand. The winners of each Challenge were flown to New York to compete in a national playoff for the opportunity to play against the best tennis professionals in the world.
