The United States Tennis Association (USTA) partnered with Delray Beach city officials and Coco Gauff to reveal the newly refurbished tennis courts at Pompey Park, where the reigning US Open champion grew up playing tennis.
This marks the completion of the inaugural project under the US Open Legacy Initiative, a $3 million commitment from the USTA to upgrade tennis courts nationwide, established in recognition of Gauff’s triumph at the 2023 US Open.
Having grown up in Delray Beach, Florida, Gauff has a deep personal connection to Pompey Park, where she honed her skills as a young player. Her family’s roots in the park and the local community run deep, spanning generations.
Dr. Brian Hainline, Chairman of the Board and President of the USTA, emphasized the initiative’s goal of enhancing access to tennis, stating, “All of us involved in tennis are aware of our sport’s life-enhancing benefits, and we are committed to protecting courts and partnering with others to spur new facility development which will ensure more access for more people in more communities.”
