Chicago State University Arena

In front of around 1,000 spectators, players demonstrated why only so many of  athletes become top professionals. 

ABC 7 Chicago hosted the players LIVE during their morning show.  Jankovic and Townsend had a very interesting interview with ABC 7 news anchor Tanja Babic.

It was the first time for both players to play a professional match in front of the Chicago audience.

Jelena Jankovic (SRB) vs. Taylor Townsend (USA)

On December 14, 2014, we organized the first professional tennis exhibition in Chicago in the past 20 years.

Former World #1 Jelena Jankovic played an amazing match against Chicago's own Taylor Townsend. 

The VIP room atop of the arena was a place to be after the match.  The exquisite food, beverages and variety of desserts were shared by the players and their fans, friends, family and sponsors.
