A Message from the Chairman of the Board and President

As we begin 2008 we can’t help but reflect on the fact that last year was a particularly eventful and exciting one for tennis and for the USTA. On every level, from tennis’ grass roots to its grandest showcase—the US Open—the stories written in 2007 were stories of success. It was a year of milestones, a year of re-writing records. The resurgent enthusiasm for tennis has been infectious and invigorating. As a leader in the mission to promote and develop the growth of tennis in this country, the USTA can—and should—be particularly proud of the fact that tennis is again on the rise in the United States.

The annual participation survey indicates that more than 25 million Americans are now playing tennis, and shows that our sport has enjoyed the fastest-growing participation of any major sport since 2000. That increase in participation has sparked the best four consecutive years of growth for tennis industry sales since the boom years of the 1970s. Last year, the USTA signed on its 700,000th member—and membership now stands at more than 725,000, an-all time high.  ...

UATA: A not-for-profit organization with more than 700,000 members, it invests 100% of its proceeds to promote and develop the growth of tennis, from the grass-roots to the professional levels.

The United States Tennis Association (USTA) is the national governing body for the sport of tennis in the United States. The USTA was previously known as the United States National Lawn Tennis Association and was established in 1881 by a small group of tennis club members in New York City. USTA was created to standardize rules and regulations and to promote and develop the growth of tennis in the United States. The USTA runs the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center which hosts the US Open every year.

The USTA has 17 geographical sections with more than 665,000 individual members and 7,000 organizational members, and a professional staff dedicated to growing the game. (Wikipedia.org)
