Phase 1 of upgrades at the Linder Family Tennis Center has been completed, announced State Representative Adam Mathews (R-Lebanon) this week. The completion comes just in time for the Cincinnati Open Tennis Tournament.
Earlier this summer, Mathews secured $27.5 million for the Cincinnati Open, rounding out the $50 million state share of investment in the upgraded tournament. This funding was part of a deal to keep the event in Ohio.
“The Cincinnati Open is the oldest tennis tournament in the country that is still played in its origin city,” said Mathews. “That’s why it was so important for us to secure the resources it needed to continue to thrive in the state.”
According to tournament officials, phase one of the $260 million campus renovation includes new fan and player areas, expanded hospitality offerings, and cosmetic upgrades. Additional changes, including a new stadium and indoor playing facility, are expected by 2025.
“It’s so great to see everything coming together just in time for the tournament,” said Mathews. “I’m excited to see the upgrades and watch some of the best athletes in the entire world compete right here in District 56."
The Cincinnati Open is an annual professional tennis tournament held at the Linder Family Tennis Center. This year’s event runs from Sunday, August 11 to Monday, August 19.
