Did you know that 25.1 million Americans are recreational tennis players? This number is up almost 4% from the year 2006 and the number of players returning to the game after an absence is up 9%.  Our readers are also loyal patrons of the advertisers that support our area magazine and the sport they love. Advertising in our magazine not only brings you face to face with our readers, you also join a family of loyal and dedicated players.
