The Surprise Sports and Tourism Department and Explore Surprise, in partnership with the U.S. Tennis Association, was awarded the title of 2022 Champion of Economic Impact in Sports Tourism by Sports Destinations Management and Due North Media for the USTA League National Championships hosted at the Surprise Tennis and Racquet Complex during the 2022 fall tennis season.

This city event has been recognized in a special feature published in Sports Destination Management: 2022 Champions of Economic Impact in Sports Tourism.

This is the second year Surprise has been awarded this title for champions in the mid-market category.

The USTA also recently awarded the Surprise Tennis and Racquet Complex the USTA Southwest League Facility of the Year. 

The USTA League National Championships is the culminating event each year to players and their teams that have advanced through their local league seasons. Local and area playoffs, along with their Section Championships, earn them their spot at the USTA League National Championships. 

With more than 300,000 players taking part each year, USTA League is the country’s largest adult competitive tennis league.
