Pride Slam 2026
Pride Slam 2026, is a new GLTA tournament celebrating LGBTQ+tennis on the opening weekend of the US Open! We are keeping it small this year- 2 days, very small draws, indoors- to maximize player experience. Please follow prideslam on IG for updates. Update- doubles will be best-of-3, not pro-sets.
