RacquetX City Series Atlanta

I decided to sign up for the RacquetX Club City Series in Atlanta because of the good experience I had during the Los Angeles stop of the series, and because of the importance the Atlanta region has as THE tennis hotbed in the country (and probably in the world, too).

(All photos were shot by me, but I want to apologize for the low quality caused by the fact that I had to shoot toward the big windows and their light. Note to self: next time, ask for the curtains to be drawn.)

The Ansley Golf Club is over one hundred years old and is a family-oriented club, rich in tradition and history. It features eight Har-tru tennis courts, three pickleball courts, and a full-service tennis shop.
