Day 3: Sportsmanship Sunday + Updates
It's three days into the Texas Slam 2023. Matches are heating up and so are the temperatures. With weather expected to be over 100 degrees, it's more important than ever to hydrate, use sun protection, and stay in the shade when possible - even for your earlier matches.
Check out our guide to hot weather tennis below:

SPORTSMANSHIP SUNDAY
Today we're announcing our first 2023 Texas Slam Player of the Day. This is just one of the many great sportsmanship initiatives happening this year. Here are a few more to check out and be a part of:
Take the sportsmanship pledge. You can fill out the ONLINE FORM or stop by the registration desk and take the pledge in person.
If you stop by the sportsmanship area near registration you can be entered into a drawing for AWESOME PRIZES including Wilson and Head tennis racquets and bags. (read more about this below!)
Share what you think sportsmanship is and add it to the big banner by the main show court at Southwestern University. Sportsmanship means different things to us all, but together we create a shared vision for what we want our sport to be.
Nominate great players and great sports for Player of the Day. Anyone can nominate!
