Ten Reasons Tennis Express Loves Tennis
Love is always in the air here at Tennis Express, but even more so on this heart-filled holiday. Many of us at Tennis Express have somebody to spend a loving evening with but we all come here during the day due to a different kind of affection. For many different reasons, the game of tennis is something that is near and dear to all of our hearts. So it’s only fitting that on Valentine’s Day we get to learn a little about the relationships we have with the sport that we all find so amazing.

You can get out and play by yourself or you can get a group of friends together. . . There is an endless variety of what you can do in tennis.” – Alex M., Wholesale Coaches
