History

The USTA National Campus broke ground on April 8, 2015. [2] Originally scheduled to open in late 2016, [3] [4] it officially opened on January 5, 2017. [5] [6] Situated on 64 acres (26 ha) of land, the facility houses 100 tennis courts, comprising indoor and outdoor hardcourts, Har-Tru green clay courts, and red clay courts. [7] [8] It also houses a dormitory, a strength and conditioning center, a 50,000-square-foot welcome center, a pro shop, and a racket store. [1] [9]

In May 2019, the facility hosted the NCAA Division I Tennis Championships. [10] In 2020, it was awarded Gold Level status by the International Tennis Federation. [11] In April 2024, it hosted the United States' Billie Jean King Cup qualifier against Belgium. [12] That December, the USTA announced that the NCAA Division I men's and women's tennis championships would be held at the USTA National Campus for ten years, beginning in 2028. [13]
