A letter from USTA Oklahoma President Eric Wedemeyer

Dear USTA Oklahoma Tennis Family,

As 2024 draws to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible year we’ve shared in the world of tennis across Oklahoma. It has been an honor to serve as your president and witness the passion, sportsmanship and dedication that make our tennis community so special.

This year, we celebrated remarkable achievements both on and off the court. From our juniors to our seasoned players, Oklahoma athletes represented our section with outstanding skill and spirit. Whether competing at local events or national championships, your efforts exemplify the essence of tennis—resilience, integrity and camaraderie.

We also saw exciting developments within our programs and initiatives. Thanks to your support, we expanded opportunities for players of all ages and abilities, introduced innovative community engagement events and upgraded facilities to ensure the game remains accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

I’m especially proud of the strides we’ve made in growing youth participation, supporting underserved communities and fostering the lifelong love for tennis through our NJTL programs throughout our state.

A heartfelt thank you goes to our volunteers, coaches and officials, whose hard work and dedication are the backbone of our success. Your contributions make everything we do possible, and your commitment to the sport inspires us all.

As we look ahead to 2025, we are eager to build on the momentum of this past year. From enhancing tournament experiences to increasing diversity and inclusion in our sport, we remain dedicated to creating opportunities for every member of our tennis family to thrive.

On behalf of the entire USTA Oklahoma leadership team, thank you for being a part of our journey. Your love for the game and support for our mission fuels everything we do. Here’s to an even brighter future for tennis in Oklahoma!
