The Southwest Tennis Foundation is 100% reliant on donations and fundraising efforts to fulfill its charitable good works in our tennis communities.

As the fundraising arm of USTA Southwest Section, the SOUTHWEST TENNIS FOUNDATION is a separate 501 (c)3 entity that provides financial support for the mission of the Section, to "promote and develop the growth of tennis." Our mission is simple: To Enrich Lives Through Tennis & Education.

Thanks to for featuring one of our recent SWTF grantees, Anjani Vickneswaran of Phoenix. Anjani, a 16-yesr-old elite nationally ranked junior player, applied for a grant to help offer clinics to the next generation of even younger players. We love seeing our juniors being this involved already and building up their tennis predecessors. Keep the wheels turning and the balls rolling. Awesome work, Anjani. We're proud to support your vision!

It's always great to see the next generation of young tennis players take it upon themselves to spread the love.

Last Sunday, one of our top juniors from the Phoenix metro area, 16-year-old Anjani Vickneswaran, put on a "Rally for Youth" clinic at Gold Key Racquet Club for kids with the help of the Southwest Tennis Foundation.

Said Anjani of the Rally for Youth clinic:
"Today’s clinic was such a fun and meaningful experience for me. I enjoyed spending time with the kids. We worked on fitness, fun drills, games, and basic technique. Afterward, we had snacks and great conversations. They asked me questions about serves and returns, and I shared a little about my journey as a junior tennis player."

We're super proud of our young players making their little corner of the Southwest tennis world a better place by serving others!

✨ Huge thanks to everyone who came out to Rolling Aces yesterday to help grow the game! We had over a dozen players join us from Tucson, Prescott, and Phoenix—your energy and commitment made the day unforgettable.

🙌 Special shoutout to Ability360 and our incredible pro players: Andrew Bogdanov, Lauren Hoops, Jason Keatseangsilp, and Kaitlyn Verfuerth. The talent and passion you brought to the court left a lasting impression.

🎾 For many attendees, it was their very first time seeing wheelchair tennis—and they were truly amazed by the skill, speed, and heart on display. Your continued support allows us to reach even more wheelchair players and helps individuals learn and grow our game, access new equipment, and travel to events. 🫶🏼

Congrats to & for winning their second consecutive doubles National Adaptive Championships title in the unified division at the .nationalcampus in Orlando, Florida. Unified Doubles pairs one player with an intellectual/development disability and one without.

The Tucson duo dominated the doubles division, just like they did as last year's inaugural event, winning all four of their matches en route to a comprehensive victory against the top unified pairs from across the country.

Juan Pablo Lopez has been a past grant recipient of the Southwest Tennis Foundation, using the funds to help him travel to showcase events like this one to promote opportunity, inclusivity and diversity in USTA competition.

Way to rep the Southwest, Juan Pablo. We're so proud of you!

A big shout-out to Surprise Tennis Center for helping spread the word throughout the day and encouraging participation — and a heartfelt thank-you to our amazing PASS volunteers for their time and support. 💙

We couldn’t have done it without all of you! 🙌
