USPTA Strikes Expanded Partnership with Tennis Warehouse to Include Equipment
LAKE NONA, FL, February 21, 2023 — The
United States Professional Tennis Association (USPTA), Inc. is pleased to
announce an expanded multi-year endorsement with Tennis Warehouse as the new Official Equipment Supplier of the USPTA.
The USPTA
and Tennis Warehouse originally joined forces in December 2021 with TW debuting
as the Official Footwear and Apparel Supplier of the USPTA. After building a
strong foundation with USPTA professionals through those offerings, the world’s
leading online tennis retailer proposed a similar formula in tennis racquets,
equipment and pickleball. This new equipment piece will be in addition to the
already established footwear and apparel partnership.
Owned and
operated by players, Tennis Warehouse has been helping people all over the
world, including USPTA professionals, to find the right racquet for over 25
years. Tennis Warehouse playtests their products to provide honest and
knowledgeable feedback so that customers can shop with confidence. With this new
expansion set in stone, all USPTA members will be given the option to select
from three different racquet companies: Babolat, Prince, and Tecnifibre. This
includes all string, bags, 10 & Under racquets, pickleball paddles, and
other accessories.
“Having
worked with Tennis Warehouse and their team over this past year, they have
exceeded our expectations from a customer service standpoint,” said John
Embree, USPTA CEO. “So, why not give our members a choice of racquets rather
than being exclusive to one company? I truly appreciate Tennis Warehouse’s
willingness to go above and beyond for the USPTA.”
“We’re excited to be joining
forces with Babolat, Tecnifibre and Prince to enhance this endorsement by
providing a variety of quality equipment to the USPTA members,” said Rick Kerpsack, Tennis Warehouse President.
