The US OPEN is racquetball's original and largest "Grand Slam" event and the most prestigous tournament of the season.
The event will also offer amateur divisions for men and women and attracts players from all across the world. Last year, nearly 70 US OPEN champions were crowned and awarded the one-of-a-kind US OPEN gold medal that weighs nearly 2 pounds.
Leading the entry list for the IRT is world No. 1 Rocky Carson, defending US OPEN champion. Leading the women for the WPRO is world No. 1 Rhonda Rajsich also the defending US OPEN champion. The Classis Pro Racquetball Tour (CPRT) will also feature world No. 1 Cliff Swain who will be challenged by No. 2 Ruben Gonzalez, defending US OPEN champion.
This event will also see the return of three-time professional world champion and three-time US OPEN champion Kane Waselenchuk who will face qualifying rounds due to his lack of ranking points.
Don't miss out on this exciting event as all of the top professional racquetball players in the world will be playing on the new four wall Lucite racquetball court.
