05/27/11 - The United States Professional Tennis Association is now a permanent fixture on the International Tennis Hall of Fame’s Legends Walk in Newport, Rhode Island. The 17 divisions of the USPTA and national have engraved bricks on the Legends Walk.

Now everyone has a chance to see the bricks when they take a stroll along the walk, which weaves throughout the center of the property, connecting the historic grass courts that have been the grounds of matches featuring many legends.

The Legends Walk has been designed to complement the Hall of Fame’s mission of preserving the history of tennis, while looking toward the future.

“We feel the bricks featuring the USPTA are a great tribute to our members and divisions who work so hard to teach and grow tennis, and to be displayed at the prestigious International Tennis Hall of Fame is a real honor,” said USPTA CEO Tim Heckler.

Founded in 1927, USPTA strives to raise the standards of the tennis profession while promoting greater awareness of the sport. USPTA offers 70 professional benefits to its more than 15,000 members worldwide, including certification and professional development.
