2025 USTA Texas Women's Senior Spirit of Tennis Award
What does receiving this award mean to you?
"I am honored to receive the Sr. Spirit Award. Tennis is my passion and I love giving back in every way. Seeing the joy in the kids faces is priceless. A true reflection of ones dedication is the example they lead by. Tennis should be FUN and in a shared commitment that I see all who play have FUN. My priority is clear in representing our values and building collaborations on and off the court. I encourage all and look forward to continuing the cause for which we all truly believe in." - Becki Wortham
