Close-Up: The Tennis Scene In Knoxville, TN
Knoxville may not be as well known as Tennessee’s more famous cities in Nashville and Memphis, but don’t tell it’s tennis players that. Knoxville has seen a tennis revival in recent years thanks in large part to the Knoxville Challenger professional tennis tournament on the ATP Tours Challenger series.
The event takes place each November and draws the top American and International talent to the Goodfriend Indoor Tennis center. The young players who take the court at these challenger events gain all-important ATP ranking points as they attempt to make their way to the biggest tennis tournaments in the world. The intimate indoor atmosphere allows spectators a wonderful opportunity to see world-class tennis and future Grand Slam champions up close and personal.
The impact of the event can be felt at all levels in the local Knoxville tennis community. The Greater Nashville Tennis Association is the local USTA governing body that has taken the renewed interest in tennis and run. They have done a fabulous job of putting on events for juniors just starting the game, all the way up to tournaments for seniors.
As evidenced by the statement on their website below, they are constantly trying to activate an even larger tennis population and look to give back to the community as well. “GKTA volunteers organize tennis leagues, tournaments and learn to play programs for women, men, children and students. GKTA also supports middle school and high school tennis and University of Tennessee men's and women's tennis.
GKTA and the Knoxville department of parks and recreation work together throughout the year to sponsor free lesson programs and the (super fun) Tennis Carnival; an event that is free and open to anyone in the area. They also award scholarships and grants for local players, teams and schools. The money from these grants can be applied to lesson programs, rackets for underprivileged kids, and tournament or other event sponsorships.
If you are wanting to go pick up a game or two, West Hills Park is undoubtedly the tennis capital of the city of Knoxville. It’s 13 courts offer ample playing opportunities for tennis players of all levels.
