Tennis is boooooooming.

Since 2019, tennis participation in the United States has skyrocketed by 54 percent, bringing nearly 10 million new players to the court. A recent study found that the growth of tennis was driven by more ways to play and more players picking up the sport and sticking with it.
 
Tennis is for all ages. All skill levels. All zip codes. Singles. Doubles. Newbies. Pros. Everyone. Every background. Every story. 
 
So what are you waiting for? Grab a racquet, a ball, a friend and hit your nearest public court.
