WESTBOROUGH, MA- The United States Tennis Association of New England (USTANE) is proud to announce a new partnership with Wilson Sporting Goods. The Chicago-based company will have a deep impact on the delivery of tennis programming throughout New England.

“Our sponsorship with Wilson is a true partnership. Our philosophies align around growing tennis and we are excited to have an enthusiastic partner to help us achieve our goals.
