On court, tennis professionals organized drills, games and competitions, with the players moving from court-to-court to switch up the pros and players with whom they were playing with. Players had their choice of lessons, games or match play throughout the evening.
“Courts & Cocktails is an awesome event,” said Lynsey Birnbaum. “It enables you to have fun both on and off the court. You still can be competitive, learn new techniques, perfect your form all while enjoying a drink and socializing with friends both new and old.”

2022 COURTS & COCKTAILS
Throughout the evening, players could visit the open bar where bartenders mixed together everyone’s favorite cocktails, including the famous U.S. Open signature drink, the Honey Deuce. The event also featured catered food including pizza, pasta, wings, salads, desserts and more.
The Courts & Cocktails series provide a great way for tennis players to spend an evening during the cold winter months. This event series combines tennis with food and drinks in a social environment.
The event was sponsored in part by USTA Eastern in partnership with Grow Tennis New York, the 501c(3) nonprofit organization of Long Island Tennis Magazine.
“The Courts & Cocktails events have proven to be a success, and we would like to thank our sponsors, partners, host club and participants that continue to make these nights special," said David Sickmen, publisher of Long Island Tennis Magazine. “We hosted our first of these events back in January. This was our third event, and all three sold-out, and our most recent one even had a waitlist. Our next event will be on May 21 at Sportime Roslyn. We have a bigger version planned for later this summer outdoors at a country club. Due to the demand and success of these events, we plan on continuing to run this series into the fall and winter. We look forward to hosting more of these events in 2022 as we continue to grow the game and bring the community together.”
