  • Résumé

  • Established in 1881, the United States Tennis Association (USTA) is the national governing body for the sport of tennis in America and is a member of both the International Tennis Federation and the United States Olympic Committee. The USTA's mission is to promote and develop the growth of tennis, from the local community level to the professional ranks.

    The USTA organizes the U.S. Open, one of the four prestigious Grand Slam tennis tournaments, and manages various programs nationwide to cultivate young talent and increase the participation and appreciation of tennis. In addition to professional tournaments, the USTA also supports thousands of grassroots events each year, including educational sessions and other community-oriented activities.

    During the COVID-19 pandemic, the USTA has faced unprecedented challenges. The pandemic not only disrupted the international tennis calendar but also affected local clubs and recreational facilities due to health and safety concerns. In response, the USTA has issued guidelines and taken measures to ensure that tennis can be played safely, affirming the sport's adaptability with recommended adjustments to player behavior and facility practices.

    The organization proactively monitors the evolving situation brought about by the COVID-19 outbreak, ensuring that its response adapts to the latest health advice and regulations. It emphasizes minimizing risks while seeking innovative ways to keep individuals engaged with the sport. For instance, USTA guidelines during the pandemic have included modifications to match setups, equipment handling, and player interaction to facilitate tennis as a social-distancing compatible sport.

    Safety measures introduced include limiting the use of shared spaces and equipment, enhancing hygiene practices, and adapting tournaments and event formats to reduce player density. The USTA's response reflects its commitment to prioritizing the health and safety of players, staff, and spectators, while still nurturing a passion for tennis across the nation.
