Rise Open

Some athletes count trophies, but tennis pro Tom Hands counts water bottle tattoos. 🏆

With an environmental science degree from Drake University and a Master’s in sustainability from the University of Nottingham, you know he isn’t playing around. He takes “reduce, reuse, recycle” to a whole new level by giving his bottle a fresh mark for every single refill. 🌱

He is officially 160 refills deep, and his bottle is starting to look like a sleeve in progress!.

One last look at an unforgettable week. 🏆The trophies have been lifted, the courts are quiet, but we’re still thinking about the Rise Centurion Open.

This is our final tribute to a spectacular week of tennis. Beyond the intense scorelines, it was a week filled with great energy, world-class sportsmanship, and pure fun.

Thanks to everyone who made it happen, from the players to the fans.

Honestly, we can’t decide what’s better, their court coverage or their dance moves!

Shoutout to the crew for keeping the energy high and putting a smile on everyone’s faces.
