INTERNATIONAL DAYAWARENESS

World Tennis Day

Every year on the first Monday of March, the whole world picks up a racket. World Tennis Day is a global invitation to play, watch, and fall in love with one of the planet's most joyful sports, from neighborhood courts to packed stadiums. In 2027, the 15th annual celebration lands on Monday, March 1, and the only admission requirement is a willingness to swing.

3 ways to celebrate

AT HOME

Book a court

Rally against a garage wall, park backboard, or patient family member for 30 minutes and try to beat your longest rally before dinner.

WITH FRIENDS

Start a doubles night

Invite friends for doubles with rotating partners every set, keep score across the evening, and let the losers bring the snacks next time.

IN THE COMMUNITY

Grow the game

Ask your local club about free World Tennis Day clinics, volunteer with a youth tennis program, or donate a used racket to a school.
