The Texas Slam is moving north this summer! USTA Texas announced the Dallas Professional Tennis Association along with the City of Plano and High Point Tennis Center have been selected as the Texas Slam hosts for 2024. The event, being held June 9 – 15, features competition for both boys and girls from Texas across four age divisions and includes both singles and doubles.

The location won’t be the only update for this year’s event. Draws for the Texas Slam will be capped at 64 players per division shortening the event by one day. A qualifier event will be added to give a final chance for Texas competitors to enter the prestigious tournament.  Plus, winners of the 18s girls and boys divisions will earn a wildcard into qualifying for the 25k Austin and Harlingen events respectively. These updates and more are all part of an effort to provide a better overall experience for the participants while attracting top talent to the event. For 2024, the Texas Slam will also include boys and girls wheelchair divisions, a first for the tournament.

High Point Tennis Center, which earned the USTA’s Outstanding Facility Award in 2022, will serve as the main site for the event. The surrounding Plano area boasts 133 tennis courts and 100 courts within 10 miles of each other. Previous Texas Slam host cities include Georgetown, Abilene, College Station and Wichita Falls.

USTA Texas Executive Director, Fred Viancos said the Texas Slam has a storied history and the section is proud to build on its legacy through innovation and player accessibility. “We continue to explore ways to make the Texas Slam the premier event for our Texas Juniors. We’re excited to have the event hosted in the Dallas Metroplex area.”

Tournament information will be available by Friday, March 1 on playtennis.usta.com.
