Does Grassroots Tennis Matter?

Tennis is more than a game—it’s a pathway to engaging underserved communities, developing leadership, and strengthening social bonds.

"As long as you have investment in grassroots tennis, and people playing the game with good people making good decisions, you're always going to be successful."
— Craig Tilley, Australian Open CEO
