Pride Month

 

 

Pride Month

In celebration of Pride Month throughout June, USTA.com salutes all of those in the LGBTQ+ community whose talents and dedication help to grow our game every day—at every level. We applaud them all for making tennis a better and more inclusive sport, and for making the face of our game more accurately reflect the dynamic diversity of our country.

Be Open

The USTA's Be Open Campaign highlights those who exemplify the spirit of "being open" and is designed to inspire others to be a catalyst for change and create a better future for us all.
