Bright Spots for Our Sport

by Jolyn de Boer

In March, the news that tennis participation had skyrocketed was picked up by media outlets worldwide, generating nearly 600 articles; tennis returned to Madison Square Garden and the USTA launched Tennis Night in America.

Thank you for your continuing support of these efforts to grow tennis.
