NSW grassroots tennis benefits from ATP Cup Legacy Fund

Sport / Finance / Government

The second round of the NSW ATP Cup Tennis Legacy Fund has delivered a $360,000 boost to NSW community tennis.

The NSW Government, in partnership with Tennis NSW, is investing $2.4 million over three years through the Legacy Fund to ensure community tennis benefits from NSW hosting the ATP Cup at Ken Rosewall Arena.

NSW Minister for Sport Natalie Ward said 31 projects had received grants from $1,000 – $50,000 to improve tennis facilities and encourage participation.

Minister Ward notes “these funds will support the construction of new tennis facilities and help people of all ages and abilities play tennis.

“With the world’s best players returning to Sydney in 2022 for the ATP Cup, these projects will encourage girls and boys to pick up a racquet and emulate their heroes on Ken Rosewall Arena.

Tennis NSW Chief Executive, Lawrence Robertson said they are delighted to see the positive response of the tennis family to the NSW ATP Cup Tennis Legacy Fund.

“With more than 50 projects now having benefited from the fund, our sport has been able to leverage more than $3 million of investment into tennis across NSW.”
