Get Ready, DeKalb! Intennse Atlanta’s Next Surges Are Coming to Town

All eyes are on INTENNSE™ as Atlanta kicks off its bold new tennis league this summer. Matches are held at the state‑of‑the‑art INTENNSE Arena, located inside Electric Owl Studios in Decatur, Georgia—just outside Atlanta. This immersive, multi‑tier “arena within an arena” is purpose‑built for short‑form, high‑energy tennis action

What Makes INTENNSE™ Unique?

-Three fast-paced “bolts” per match: Instead of the traditional set structure, matches are divided into three 10‑minute segments—“bolts”—designed to maximize intensity and engagement

-Team format with live substitutions: Each franchise fields a roster of six (3 men, 3 women). Substitutions can be made mid-match—a true rarity in tennis—adding a strategic twist

-Fan-first environment: With narrow breaks (14 seconds between points), a single-serve rule, and no break in momentum, the pace is relentless. Fans are encouraged to cheer, heckle, and fully engage—a far cry from traditional tennis etiquette

Meet the Teams (and Players)

INTENNSE™ launched with three metropolitan teams: Atlanta, Tampa, and Jacksonville. Atlanta’s roster features standout players like Trent Bryde—a former University of Georgia star—who thrives in this electrifying format . Likewise, Stanford alumna Michaela Gordon brings both pedigree and passion to the court.
