While some of the best up-and-coming tennis players from around the world battled on the courts for the USTA Pro Circuit Men’s Future Tennis Tournament on Saturday, Jan. 28, at the Palm Coast Tennis Center, the tennis kids played against coaches and the head pro.

“It’s great for the pros to take time to give back something to the next generation of players,” said Eric Dubin, the PCTC head pro. “The kids love the chance to get up close.”

While some of the little one were able to win a couple rounds against some of the coaches, none could beat Dubin in “Beat the pro.” But, according to him, it won’t be long before they will be able to get a few wins.
