Tournament History

The 4th annual RelyAid Natomas $100,000 Challenger will take place September 29 – October 7th. This is one of six $100,000 USTA Pro Circuit events scheduled for 2012. The USTA Pro Circuit’s mission is to develop the next generation of word class players and provide a platform for injured players to return to the ATP Tour. Last year some very big names from the ATP tour participated along with some new up and comers. Ivo Karlovic defeated James Blake in a thrilling 3 set finals match while Carsten Ball and Chris Guccione toughed it out against Nicholas Monroe and newcomer Jack Sock in the doubles final. Other familiar names that have played in this tournament include John Isner, Sam Querrey, Ryan Harrison, Donald Young, Ryan Sweeting, Kevin Anderson and Jesse Levine.

Each year we look forward to seeing new generations of players use our Challenger as a springboard to their dream of playing on the ATP Tour. The 2011 tournament sold out during the semi-finals and finals and big crowds are expected again this year.
