The NSW tennis community has benefited from NSW hosting the ATP Cup following the awarding of grants in Round 3 of the NSW ATP Cup Tennis Legacy Fund.

24 tennis clubs, associations and councils across NSW have shared in more than $347,000 in Round 3. The grants will be used to support the construction of new tennis facilities and help people of all ages and abilities play tennis through a partnership between the NSW Government and Tennis NSW.

Minister for Tourism and Sport Stuart Ayres said the Legacy Fund is improving tennis facilities across the state.

“In collaboration with Tennis NSW, more than $2.4 million has been invested in new programs and facilities to get more people playing tennis,” Mr Ayres said.

“Tennis NSW is proud to have partnered with the Office of Sport to ensure the benefits of hosting the ATP Cup here in Sydney reaches tennis communities across NSW.

“Grassroots tennis will benefit from the outcomes delivered through the successful projects for years to come.”
