Global Tennis Network (or just GTN) was started the summer of 2007 by then Electrical Engineering student Trevor Meier as a simple website for managing online tennis tournaments for a few of his racquet stringing customers.After coming across basic tennis ladders on other website, he soon added fully automated ladders with features nobody had seen before. These tennis ladders quickly became the most popular feature, and the site took off.New ideas and suggestions came pouring in from the members. Features were added as fast as possible to keep up with the demand. The site has since added a tennis court locator, tennis league software, networks and court scheduling to name a few.
