Nicole Gibbs turned pro in 2013 afterclaiming her second consecutive NCAA singles crown and subsequently won thefirst USTA Pro Circuit event she entered.

When Nicole Gibbs was in high school, she established herself

as one of Americas most promising young players by advanc-

ing to the title match of the USTA Girls 18 National Champi-

onships in 2010 and 2011 and by reaching the semifinals of the 2011 US

Open Junior Championships as a qualifier.

Once Gibbs moved on to Stanford University, she embarked on a

stellar collegiate career that few players have

rivaled. She was named an All-American as a

sophomore after sweeping the 2012 NCAA

singles and doubles championships, becoming

only the third woman in history to capture

both NCAA titles in the same season. In her

junior year last spring, when she was 20 years

old, Gibbs won her second consecutive NCAA

singles crown and helped lead Stanford to the

2013 NCAA team title. Soon after, with little left

to prove in the college ranks, she turned pro.

Now Gibbs is making the transition to the

games highest levels. To help her learn how to

handle her new life as a pro, she has been com-

peting in tournaments from coast to coast on

the worlds largest developmental professional

tennis tour: the USTA Pro Circuit.

Gibbs is not new to the USTA Pro Circuit.

She entered her first Circuit event when she

was 14, and she won a doubles title at a

$50,000 tournament in Raleigh, N.C. in 2010

and claimed a singles crown at a $50,000 event in Denver, Colo., in 2012.

But now that Gibbs is a pro player, she can build her playing schedule

chiefly around Circuit events and develop her game in match play

against high-level competition on a consistent basis.

As it has done for so many other up-and-coming young players

before Gibbs, the USTA Pro Circuit is providing her with an ongoing

opportunity to raise not only her ranking as a player, but also her confi-

dence in her play.

With so many talented competitors around the world in recent

years, young players absolutely have to prove

themselves at this level, says Brian Earley,

Director, USTA Pro Circuit. Players do not

bypass developmental tennis anymore. Those

who grind it out on the USTA Pro Circuit are

best prepared to face the rigors of the pro tour.

Celebrating its 35th anniversary, the USTA

Pro Circuit serves as a direct pathway to mens

and womens tour events and the Grand Slam

tournaments, teaching young players what it

takes to become a successful professional while

giving them the opportunity to grow their

game and to accumulate the ranking points

necessary to gain automatic entry into tour-

level main draws. Local communities across

the United States also benefit from the USTA

Pro Circuit, as it gives tennis fans from Cali-

fornia to New York and from Texas to Michigan

the chance to see world-class tennis in their

own backyards.

First title as a pro player!! Gibbs tweeted

when she won the $50,000 Challenger in Yakima, Wash., in July

2013. Then she added: Excited to start all over in Portland on Weds.

On the USTA Pro Circuit, there is always another tournament down

Circuit. Sock went from a year-end ranking of

No. 382 in 2011 to No. 150 at the end of 2012

and entered the Top 100 for the first time last

summer after winning the $50,000 Challenger

in Winnetka, Ill.

Staying in your age group and playing a

lot of kids youre supposed to win against real-

ly helps so you learn how to win, said Sock.

And then going up [to the USTA Pro Circuit]

and taking it slow, playing the pro tourna-

ments at your own pace, is important. I think

it really helps.

Jarmere Jenkins, the 2013 Intercollegiate

Tennis Association National College Player of

the Year, has been following that same route.

the triple crown of college tennishe reached

the NCAA singles final, won the doubles cham-

the road, where players can continue to hone

their games.

Each year, the USTA Pro Circuit features

approximately 90 events. It stages weekly tour-

naments from January through November,

ranging from $10,000 events for beginning

pros to $100,000 events for players on the cusp

of joining the ATP and WTA tours. While

awarding nearly $3 million in prize money, the

USTA Pro Circuit is similar in format to the

ATP World Tour and the WTAwith one

notable exception: the USTA Pro Circuit

spares U.S. players who are starting their pro-

fessional careers the expense of having to travel

around the globe in order to compete against

other equally talented players.

It provides small steps so young players

arent overwhelmed with what they want to

accomplish, says Grace Min, who has played

consistently on the USTA Pro Circuit since

capturing the 2011 US Open girls singles

championship. I started out playing $10,000

events, then slowly moved into the higher

prize money tournaments when I felt I was

ready to compete at the next level. Just by

playing matches and being exposed to differ-

ent situations, Ive been able to find what

works for me and what doesnt in my game.

Thanks in large part to her strong performances

on the USTA Pro Circuit, Min improved her

ranking, which stood at No. 414 at the end of

2011, by almost 300 positions by October 2013.

Other young American women who are

competing on the USTA Pro Circuit and look-

ing to leap ahead in the rankings in 2014

include Allie Kiick, Victoria Duval, Alicia

Black, Sachia Vickery and 2012 world No. 1

junior Taylor Townsend. Meanwhile, young

Fratangelo, Mitchell Krueger and Tennys

summer. He has since entered higher-level Cir-

cuit events in an effort to raise his game and

further improve his ranking.

While junior stars and collegiate standouts

make up the majority of the players competing

on the USTA Pro Circuit, the tournaments

also provide an opportunity for tour veterans

coming back from injury or seeking to regain

their form. Brian Baker is a leading example of

a player who has embraced the USTA Pro Cir-

cuit in order to get another shot at playing on

tenniss biggest stages. After missing six years

of competition due to injuries requiring five

surgeries, he returned to professional tennis

full time in 2012 and won three Circuit events.

By that spring, he was playing on the ATP

World Tour and was a finalist at a tour event in

Nice. By years end, he had moved into the

worlds Top 100 for the first time in his career.

The USTA Pro Circuit is a great place to

improve your game and see what you need to

do to get to the next level, says Baker. I have

Young Americans who have used the USTA Pro Circuit to establish the foundation of promising professional careers include (clockwise from above) Taylor Townsend, Tennys Sandgren and Jack Sock. Facing page: Bjorn Fratangelo and Grace Min, the only Americans to claim junior Grand Slam titles in 2011, won their first professionalcrowns on the USTA Pro Circuit within 18 months of their glory at Roland Garros and the US Open, respectively.

had a lot of success on the USTA Pro Circuit,

and Im very grateful that Ive had a chance to

play. Its nice to have so many tournaments to

play so you dont have to travel as much. A lot

of countries dont have these opportunities.

While the players who compete on the

USTA Pro Circuit are predominantly Ameri-

can, the tournaments draw athletes from all

over the world. Each year, more than half of

the US Open mens and womens fields are

made up of USTA Pro Circuit players or grad-

uates. All told, USTA Pro Circuit alumni

which includes current stars such as Victoria

Azarenka, Bob and Mike Bryan, Andy Murray,

Li Na and Maria Sharapovahave combined

for more than 50 Grand Slam tournament

singles titles, with 17 of those players having

risen to No. 1 in the world rankings.

For aspiring pros looking to develop the

games that can carry them all the way to the

top, theres no better place to begin than on the

USTA Pro Circuit.
