International Tennis Hall of Fame

International Tennis Hall of Fame The International Tennis Hall of Fame preserves the history of tennis and celebrates its champions to inspire the next generation.

The Newport Casino was in danger of demolition, and with its rich tennis history, it was the perfect spot to establish a hall of fame. Jimmy Van Alen successfully lobbied the leaders

hip of the United States Lawn Tennis Association to sanction the establishment of a National Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport. The venerable Newport Casino became the National Lawn Tennis Hall of Fame and Museum and was officially recognized by the International Tennis Federation in 1986.
