Since the United States Tennis Association’s National Campus in Lake Nona opened to the public back in 2017, scores of the world’s top tennis players have either trained at or called this sprawling 100-court facility home. And for tennis (or Tennis Channel) junkies, there’s no better place in town to bump into the sport’s greats — 2023 U.S. Open and reigning French Open champion Coco Gauff, for example, or 2025 Australian Open winner Madison Keys. You’ll also see the country’s top men’s players, like Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton, smacking balls at the campus. Best of all, Central Florida residents can experience a brush with tennis fame while enjoying a free 30-minute session with a certified teaching pro. Just remember to keep your eye on the ball.
