Vegas Spotlight

Remember the Tennis Channel Open? Huge serves, hard hitting, perfect technique, rallies longer than 3 shots, top-notch professional athletes? Yeah I miss it too. Before you shed any tears, you should know that pro-caliber tennis is still alive and well in Las Vegas! When Tennis Habitat was invited to film a practice session of the UNLV men’s tennis team, we were in awe. These guys can flat-out play! It was far more than good shots and strategy. These are elite athletes with ATP level skills. Led by Head Coach Owen Hambrook and Assistant Coach Beck Roghaar, this program is one of the best in the Mountain West Conference-if not the nation.

Even more shocking was the fact that the program is virtually unknown to local Las Vegas tennis community. During the season, our city has an incredible opportunity to not only support a great group of student-athletes, but also see the game played at its highest level. Oh yeah, did I mention it was free to the public? This is tennis in its purest form. No commercials, no corporate hype. Just top-notch athletes battling for ranking – not prize money. So come out and support Rebel tennis. Show up once and you’ll be a believer!
