May is #NationalTennisMonth and USTA Southern is promoting the #PowerOfTennis this month. In a remarkable surge, four million Americans took up tennis last year. Two of our nine states are represented in detailing outreach to keep those players on court. USTA South Carolina President James McKissick and USTA North Carolina Executive Director Kelly Gaines talk about how new players are being converted through connections to communities and governments. Additionally, we continue in our coverage of Roland Garros from last week as USTA’s Martin Blackman returns as our Grand Slam Correspondent.
