If you love tennis you'll want to plan on heading into Indianapolis on July 18th - 26th. That's when the Indianapolis Tennis Championships will be in town and the field of contenders has already been set for the most part. There are still some spots left to be filled over the days leading up to the event.

The Indianapolis Tennis Championships are part of the US Open Series that comes to a variety of great cities like Indianapolis through the season. Indianapolis has been hosting the event since 1998 and it's considered a prime warm-up tournament leading up to the US Open in late August.

The current field of players includes:

Andy Roddick, Dmitry Tursunov, Ivo Karlovic, Igor Kunitsyn, Dudi Sela, Sam Querrey, Benjamin Becker, Arnaud Clement, Marc Gicquel, Leonardo Mayer, Yen-Hsun Lu, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Denis Istomin, Ernests Gulbis, Kevin Kim, Gilles Muller, Marco Baghdatis, Bobby Reynolds, John Isner, Brian Dabul, Michael Berrer, Marcos Daniel, Vincent Spadea, Taylor Dent

That includes Ivo Karlovic and John Isner, who at 6'10" and 6'9" respectively are the tallest players in tour history. I'd think it would take a little more effort to get the ball past the wingspans of these two!

The Westin Indianapolis is an official sponsor of the event and you can find all the information you need to book your room and vacation package for the event on the VisitIndy.com website. We can't wait to welcome you to town and show you how we're raising the game to make your next visit Positively Indy!
