Welcome to the 2012 Easter Bowl   |

Another year of the Easter Bowl is just weeks away where for the past 45 years America’s greatest tennis talent has been showcased.  The question comes up every year: Who will be the future stars of U.S. tennis? The final answer may not be learned by the end of what looks to be another great week of tennis in Rancho Mirage, but surely both familiar and new faces will emerge and we may be a little closer to finding the answer to that question.

Of course all the greats have played here, including McEnroe, Sampras, Agassi, Chang, Austin and Davenport, a virtual who’s-who in the world of tennis. If you made it big in pro tennis it’s a good bet you also had some success at the Easter Bowl. In recent years we’ve seen Andy Roddick, Sam Querrey and John Isner continue the great American tennis tradition on the men’s side. In 2009, Melanie Oudin made her run to the U.S. Open quarterfinals after winning the girls’ 18s at the Easter Bowl and memorably jumping in the Rancho Las Palmas pool to celebrate.

Since its inception in 1968, when Harold Solomon beat Jimmy Connors, the Easter Bowl has been noted not only for the hospitality given to players and parents, but for its far-reaching media exposure and for keeping all the game’s important issues in public view.

You’d be hard pressed to find another junior tennis tournament in the United States that possesses the same rich history as the Easter Bowl.  The tournament was started in New York City by Seena Hamilton and has been played in Florida, Arizona and California. This year the tournament is being run once again by chairman Bryan Fineberg.
