has a rich tennis history at the grassroots level,” said Kurt
Kamperman, USTA Chief Executive, Community Tennis. “We hope this
investment in 10 and Under Tennis courts can help grow the game and
leave an impact on the local community.”

ensuring our children have safe, positive places to learn and play,”
said New Haven Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. “The USTA’s Olympus US Open
Series Legacy program does just that and I want to extend my thanks to
the USTA and the New Haven Open for the tennis court improvements here
at Wilbur Cross High School.”

youth, in creating a healthy lifestyle both physically and
educationally,” said New Haven Open Tournament Director Anne
