You'll play where the pros playThe 2010 USGO returns to the Taube Family Tennis Center at Stanford University. It's where Stanford University’s Men’s and Women’s collegiate tennis teams play and it is also home to the Bank of the West Classic US Open Series WTA event. It’s where Serena, Maria, and Venus play this year (and Kim-hopefully)! The Taube Tennis Center has also hosted several major tennis championships over the years, both on the collegiate and professional levels, including over 10 years of the Bank of West Classic. Play will also be at Cañada College, just north of Stanford off Interstate 280.
