The USTA is overall hosting thousands of youth tennis events throughout the month of March as part of the celebration of World Tennis Day on March 10, 2015. These events, part of USTA’s commitment to improve the health and wellness of children by getting active through tennis, serve as an opportunity to encourage families and children of all ages and skill levels to try the sport at  local tennis facilities.

The USTA has leveraged World Tennis Day on March 10 as a kick-off for facilities to register children for spring and summer tennis programming. Since 2009, more than 8,000 youth tennis events have been held as part of this initiative.

World Tennis Day also is highlighted by the BNP Paribas Showdown at New York’s Madison Square Garden, this year featuring 17-time Grand Slam singles champion Roger Federer taking on rising star Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria in one match, and tennis legends Monica Seles and Gabriela Sabatini squaring off in the other.
