The Savannah Challenger, a premiere professional ATP USTA tennis event hosted by the Landings Club at the Franklin Creek Tennis Center on Skidaway Island, will be returning for its 13^th annual year, April 24 – 30, 2023. The Savannah Challenger is more than just top-class tennis as hospitality and entertainment is part of the tournament with a special “Ladies Day” to celebrate the female tennis players and fans and a Center Court concert. 

The Savannah Challenger once again partners with the nonprofit organization, Savannah Area Tennis Association (SATA), that creates and supports initiatives for underserved communities with their tennis programs for children in Chatham County. As a subset of the United States Tennis Association (USTA), SATA organizes leagues, outreach programs and casual tennis events. SATA’s Community Outreach Programs include Special Pops, Wheelchair Tennis, tennis programs with the Frank Callen Boys & Girls Club and much more. The Savannah Challenger will be hosting “Ladies Day” on Wednesday, April 26, which offers women access to multiple shopping vendors, a special food and drink menu, and cardio tennis for all levels. Ladies can also get a discounted ticket for this day. The proceeds raised by SATA throughout the tournament will benefit SATA’s educational programs.

The Center Court Concert will be happening on Thursday, April 27th at 7 p.m. with favorite and well-known Savannah group, “Tell Scarlet”, playing a wide range of hits from 60’s classics all the way through to today’s favorites. Tickets for the full day of Pro Circuit tennis and the evening concert start at $35.00 and can be purchased now at www.savannahchallenger.com.

“We are so excited to be giving back to the community by partnering with SATA! We hope everyone will come on over to our Savannah Challenger week, especially on the Thursday for a great day of men’s professional tennis and some sensational Savannah music,” said Savannah Challenger Tournament Chair Rhegan White-Clemm. “We want to welcome all tennis fans from around the Low Country to experience this fantastic USTA tournament which we continue to enhance with new hospitality areas, live music, and sponsor gift giveaways.”
