Tennis StoriesPatrick Galbraith"We want to make tennis look like America. That's what we say, that's not always what we've done. So really, that's the focus going forward."
Patrick Galbraith, Chairman of the Board and President of the United States Tennis Association sat down with us to discuss his career, the USTA's future, and recently announced plans about the US Open. We are so appreciative he took the time to speak with us in the midst of such a busy time for our organization!
