South Australian tennis players have the opportunity to represent their team in the 2013 ATL, an innovative elite team based competition taking place comprising of men’s teams and women’s teams playing a round-robin format to be crowned SA Champions.
The very best local and some interstate and overseas players have signed up to squads in the past, including touring professionals such as Luke Saville, Colin Ebelthite, Bojana Bobusic and Emily Webley-Smith as well as the most talented young players including Thanasi Kokkinakis, Bradley Mousley, Li Tu, Jack Schipanski, Amy Sneath and Brooke Rischbieth.
The ATL uses an innovative and unique format that includes playing four game sets, no-ad scoring and a variety of other innovative concepts, all driven at making the game exciting for both the players and the spectators with games played under lights at the iconic Memorial Drive.
Not to mention, Champions progress to the national playoff held at Melbourne Park during the Australian Open with all ATL Conferences (South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales along with representative teams from China, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands) competing for the ATL title and a pool in nearly $100,000 in prize money.
