Vero Beach USTA Futures

The Mardy Fish Children’s Foundation Tennis Championships is a men’s “Futures” tournament on the USTA Pro Circuit – or a “minor league” pro tennis tournament.
The event is one of the most successful events on the USTA Pro Circuit, starting in 1995 and being one of the longest running USTA Futures events. It is regarded as the best attended Futures event in the world – attracting approximately 3,000 fans each year.
The tournament is an important part of the Vero Beach community and economy, bringing in an estimated $500,000 into the local economy each year. Approximately 200 players, as well as coaches, officials and fans, travel to Vero Beach for the 10-day event annually.
Many of the international competitors at the event have gone on to compete at the highest levels of pro tennis – at Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, Davis Cup and the Olympics. Past players have combined to win 19 Grand Slam tournament titles in singles, doubles and mixed doubles. Nicolas Massu, the 1998 Vero Beach runner-up, won the Olympic gold medal in singles and doubles in 2004 and Kyle Edmund, the 2013 Vero Beach champion, played for Great Britain in the 2015 Davis Cup Final. Other former competitors include Andy Roddick, Tim Henman, Mardy Fish, Thomas Johansson, Milos Raonic, Magnus Norman, etc.
Profits from the event will benefit The Mardy Fish Children’s Foundation in Vero Beach.
