Several grants are in the development process for a range of stakeholders, including facility owners, certified tennis professionals and grassroots organizations backing underserved communities, while a centralized, collaborative online resource, Tennis Industry United, now offers webinars, legal advice and continuing professional development.

“We recognized helping tennis facilities, community tennis programs, and teaching professionals navigate the multitude of government grants and loans was of immediate importance,” said Mike Dowse, CEO and Executive Director of the USTA.

“We now quickly are taking a look at the broader tennis ecosystem and are working with our colleagues within the Grand Slams, the ITF, the ATP and the WTA Tour to determine how to provide help for lower-ranked professional tennis players who are facing tournament cancellations and financial hardship.”
