Tennis in LA: Thursday's Essential Updates
Los Angeles remains a hub for tennis enthusiasts, with ongoing collegiate rivalries, exciting local events, and updates from LA's vibrant tennis courts. Whether you're looking to compete, watch, or simply find a great court to play on, here’s what’s happening in the LA tennis community today.
Occidental College Eyes Conference Matches
The Occidental College women’s tennis team is in the spotlight as they prepare for crucial conference matches against Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, Caltech, and Redlands. Currently holding a 6-6 record, the team is striving to maintain momentum following a dominant 7-0 win over Hope International University. These matches will test their resolve as they face SCIAC’s strongest teams.
“Our team has been training hard all season, and we’re ready to take on these challenges,” said one Occidental team member.
Spotlight on Local Court Conditions
Recent rains impacted court availability across Los Angeles. However, facilities like Griffith Park Tennis Courts, known for their excellent drainage, and Poinsettia Recreation Center, with its resurfaced courts, are back to being prime spots for post-rain play. For those in need of uninterrupted games, Westwood Recreation Center offers rare indoor courts, a significant advantage in a city with limited indoor options.
“Tennis in LA is all about finding the right time and place. Early mornings and quieter weekdays can make all the difference,” said a Griffith Park regular.
