The International Tennis Hall of Fame preserves and promotes the history of tennis and celebrates its champions, thereby serving as a vital partner in the growth of tennis globally. In 1881, the Tennis Hall of Fame hosted the first U.S. National Lawn Tennis Championships – today known as the US Open. As this year’s host of the USPTA Grass Court Championships, members have the opportunity to play on the historic grass courts that all of the greatest champions in tennis history have played on.
Due to the historic nature of the club and in respect of tennis tradition, players are required to dress in predominantly white tennis attire on the grass courts. Only smooth-soled tennis shoes are allowed on court. Grass court shoes will not be permitted.
The entry deadline for the 2017 USPTA Grass Court Championships is June 13. Registration is now open at www.setteo.com/torneos/uspta-grass-court-championships/ .
