Industry Trends Highest Since the '80s

The 2007/2008 Tennis Health Index, composed of seven key components that detail various aspects of the health of the sport in the U.S., is scheduled to be released in early April. The THI includes data from the 2007 TIA/USTA Tennis Participation Survey (left), ball shipments, online and mail participation studies, the Court Activity Monitor, and facility and player surveys.

As of mid-March, five of the seven indexes have been received and all are reporting positive numbers, which is good news for all in the tennis industry.
