2022 Professional Singles Report
By Philip Stockton
Following no play in 2020, and a U.S. only based draw in 2021, this year fifteen court tennis professionals including the top 8 players in the world came back to Newport RI to play for The Schochet Cup.
Play began on Monday June 6th, giving the pros trickling in from the U.S. Open a weekend to dial in their play on the ox-blood floor from 1880, now the oldest in the country.
Those curious enough to wander passed the lawn tennis courts of the Tennis Hall of Fame and into the shingled National Tennis Club, could see the game played at its highest level for a week in June.
