Gina's Tennis World will celebrate the grand opening of its third court on Saturday, Sept. 12, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 649 Springfield Avenue.
The addition comes with a new sign on Springfield Avenue that owner Gina Genovese hopes will finally put the longtime tennis club on the map for residents who may not have known it was there.
The grand opening will begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Mayor Angie Devanney at 11 a.m. From 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., guests can try out HEAD demo rackets against a ball machine and test their skills by hitting targets for prizes.
Throughout the event, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., guests can take photos with life-sized cutouts of tennis stars Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. A raffle will give one lucky winner the chance to take a cutout home.
"After being in business for 43 years in Berkeley Heights, I am so excited to have the opportunity to have more kids and adults learning to love the game of tennis," Genovese said. "I still enjoy teaching even more than I did in 1983."
Tanvi Silvester, a former Gina's Tennis World player now in college, said the club's environment made all the difference in her experience learning the sport.
"I'd recommend Gina's Tennis World because it's such a friendly environment," Silvester said. "Starting a new sport can be intimidating at any age, and the environment you learn in plays a huge role in how much you end up loving the game. Gina, Wendy and the entire staff are so welcoming and kind. They make you want to come back and fall in love with tennis."
Julia Jarvis, a student and player at the club for 22 years, echoed that sentiment.
"Gina's Tennis World has always been community-focused, where everyone feels like family," Jarvis said. "It's not an ultra-competitive, toxic or intimidating culture, and it's a safe place to learn. This new chapter will let her share her gift with even more people, and I'm truly so excited for her and her world."
The grand opening is free and open to the public, with community members of all ages invited to celebrate the new court. For more information, visit <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ginastennisworld.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">www.ginastennisworld.com</a>.
About Gina's Tennis World Gina Genovese founded Gina's Tennis World in 1983 after coming off the women's professional tour, quickly attracting nationally ranked players — including, in one year, 12 boys who were ranked No. 1 on their high school teams. For more than four decades, she has taught players ages 5 to 80 at every skill level, working alongside fellow instructors Coach Wendy and Coach Phil for more than two decades. She is now teaching a second generation of students and says she can't wait to welcome a third.
