      <title>     MTG April Social - See You on the Ladder (Tuesday, April 14, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.metrotennisgroup.com/resources/Pictures/Social%20Event%20Template.png" alt="" title="" border="0" width="493" height="616"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Join Metropolitan Tennis Group for our April social as we close out the Winter Doubles League and get ready for Summer Ladder season.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;The temperature in New York is still fluctuating, but the enthusiasm for tennis is already through the roof -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Case in point&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Liberty Open, our premium GLTA tournament in NYC, was sold out in just &lt;strong&gt;a couple of hours&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Our March social brought out over &lt;strong&gt;50 people&lt;/strong&gt; - a third&amp;nbsp; joining MTG event for the first time and 90% voting Carlos as their tennis crush (duh~)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;MTG Summer Ladder, the #2 most popular summer queer activity in NYC (trailing Second Sunday in Central Park), opened with &lt;strong&gt;65 players&lt;/strong&gt; signing up on day one — ~3× vs last year&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Yes it’s that time of the year - you have the perfect excuse to slide into other people's DM, with the most legit question&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;“Hey - you wanna play?”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;You know what's even better than challenging a random MTG member?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Size up them in person first at…&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hardware&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;697 10th Ave&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;(half-price drinks until 8PM )&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Everyone is welcome - and yes, bring that friend who you’ve been trying to convince to play tennis for years. The infectious smile at MTG will change their mind!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Please RSVP by registering for the event.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;" align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;MTG Summer Ladder: Play More, Climb Higher&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;The MTG Summer Ladder is back—ready to turn your “I’ll just rally” plans into a full-blown ranking obsession. This flexible singles league lets players set their own matches, explore courts across the tri-state, and log results all summer long. Win when you can, chase who you must—and come September, the top 8 players in each division advance to playoffs to battle it out for the title.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Saturday, April 4th (Non-Members)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Catch&amp;nbsp;up with all your tennis pals amid a fun evening of socializing and playing two hours of tennis at Billie Jean King National Tennis Center – home of the US Open!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;All players will play a 1-hour match, take a 1-hour hangout break (where dinner is provided), then play a second 1-hour match. If you have a tennis partner, let us know so we put you together. If you don't have one, no worries; we'll pair you with someone around your same level.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
