Newport is home to The International Tennis Hall of Fame, meaning you really won't find a better tennis scene anywhere in the American! The best players of all time are honored there, and the grounds boast a museum, grass tennis courts, and a full indoor tennis facility.
Discover the rich history of tennis, and the stories of its greatest champions, through memorabilia and video collected from around the world. Trophies, tennis attire and equipment from each decade, and clips of the best matches in history decorate the walls of the Newport Casino.
The grass courts housed there are some of the most beautiful in the entire world, and each year after Wimbledon the top players on the ATP World Tour compete there in the Hall of Fame Tennis Championship. While it's pretty much impossible to play there, a special trip for an event is well worth it; like perhaps the Brunch With Legends, when you sit down to eat with the likes of Andy Murray and Serena Williams, or the Enshrinement Weekend, when new members are inducted into the Hall.
Right next door is the National Tennis Club, the oldest court club in the U.S. As you can no doubt gather, tennis runs thick in the blood of Newport. You'll be so swept away by this city's love for the sport, you'll be dreaming about seeing your name next to the ranks of tennis stars in no time.
