Tennis fans in Cincinnati may be sad to hear about a $400 million tennis center being built along the Charlotte River. Dubbed the Project Breakthrough, the initiative will include the construction of four new tennis stadiums. The facility also has an amphitheater for outdoor concerts and even a pickleball court. The project’s developer claims it will generate $300 million in revenue and attract 650,000 visitors to Charlotte each year.

The proposed facility would be a significant departure from the current Western and Southern Open, which has been held in Cincinnati since 1899. The proposed facility would not only host the tournament but also provide a permanent home for the event. But the shift is going to be huge!

Tennis tournaments and events may see a new change of location soon

As per Tennis.com, Charlotte city officials and numerous fans are excited about the potential economic impact of the project. The city has expressed its willingness to participate in the project financially. The proposed move has already caused mixed reactions among tennis fans. Several fans are disappointed that the tournament will no longer be held in Cincinnati.
