Club Med has announced its partnership with the Generation Cup Series in tennis. The Club Med Generation Cup Series consists of four tournaments and will host both senior men and women between 50 – 70 years of age and over. A Championship event will be held in April at Club Med’s premium sports resort, Sandpiper Bay, in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

Grand Slam winner Rosie Casals stated: “Both Rich and I are thrilled to have Club Med as our Title Sponsor of the Generation Cup Series.
