Credit One Charleston Open – Day 5

It was another EXCITING year for me to be covering the Credit One Charleston Open!!!

Since 1973, the Charleston Open has been a pioneer in women’s professional sports, creating milestones that over the years have directly influenced the popularity of women’s professional tennis. Much has changed over the years. But to this day, the tournament remains the largest women’s only tennis tournament in North America. This year’s roster included 5 of the Top 10 women on tour, 5 past champions, and 5 Grand Slam champions. Previous winners include notable names like Chris Evert, Steffi Graf, Martina Navratilova, Serena Williams, Tracy Austin, Martina Hingis, Jennifer Capriati, Nadia Petrova, Madison Keys…and so many more!

Day 5 of the COCO started off with a private shoot at Charleston Place Hotel with doubles specialists, Sophie Chang & Angela Kulikov, to promote pickle ball!  Then it was on to Credit One Stadium for some amazing matches, player interviews, and VIP appearances.  What a great day of tennis!!!
