Hey there, fellow tennis enthusiasts It’s your girl Mia Johnson-Carter here, living the dream in Miami. I’m super excited to share some awesome news with you all about the latest trends in tennis and beyond.
The Masters Maintains Dates Despite Hurricane
First off, let’s talk about some non-tennis news that caught my eye. The Augusta Masters 2025, the 95th edition of the tournament with the most pedigree in golf, will be played on its scheduled dates from April 10 to 13, despite the devastating effects of Hurricane Helene. The president of the Augusta National Golf Club, Fred Ridley, announced that the tournament will proceed as planned. The club also pledged to help with the costs of repair following the tragedy by donating $5,000 to the Community Foundation for Central Savannah River Area. This shows how committed they are to keeping their traditions intact even in challenging times.

Now, let’s dive into the world of tennis. There’s been a growing trend of women taking center stage in various sports, including tennis. Initiatives like the Pacific Women and Girls in Tennis – Emerging Leaders workshop are crucial for fostering a more inclusive and supportive community within the sport. This workshop, which took place in Fiji and brought together eleven talented women from the Pacific region, is part of Tennis Australia’s broader mission to empower women and girls in tennis. It’s all about creating opportunities for them to develop their skills, build confidence, and become leaders within the sport.
