Rochester Tennis Connection

Welcome to RTC

If you play tennis, or would like to play tennis, RTC is the place for you! We have programs for all levels and ages and are open to the public. RTC is where tennis and fun connect.

We have two locations:

Outdoor Site: The Outdoor Site (formerly known as Kutzky Tennis Center) is one of the top outdoor faclities in the state with 15 courts. The Tennis center is an ideal place for lessons, tournaments or just playing some tennis with your friends.

Indoor Site: The Indoor Site (formerly known as Rochester Indoor Tennis Club) is the only Rochester facility with Rebound-Ace court surface. This court surface is the same as used at the US Open and unlike regular cement courts, it is built with layers that provide optimum bounce and give. We have six indoor courts and they are available for play year round. In addition, we have a full-service pro shop with rackets, restringing, clothing and shoes.

In addition to membership options, we are open to the public as well.

Ray Zhang

Ray Zhang, aka "All day Ray," has been in the junior program at the Rochester Tennis Connection for several years. With a lot of hard work and many hours spent on the court, Ray has moved through the levels at a very fast pace and currently finds himself in the "Elite Big Dog" program. He is also a member of the Mayo Boy's tennis team and is always competing for a varsity spot. His nickname says is it all, when playing points, Ray's mistakes are minimal and he is willing to outlast his opponents. Despite his busy schedule with academics and after school activities, Ray has figured a way to make time for his tennis and you can often catch him in the evenings beating up on the ball machine. We wish Ray all the best for his upcoming season!

Azarenka looking like Sharapova with darker hair, 20 percent better athleticism, 20 percent better variety (up 3-0)

Azarenka, down 0-2, wins 6/7 games to take the set. A key to match was how well she'd handle occasion. So far, so good

Saturday, January 28, 2012 9:26:24 AM

Azarenka 5/3, good fight....and i might be in the minority but soundtrack not really detracting from enjoyment
