[Match Result] The Nippon Club 2026 Winter Tennis Tournament

03 / 28 / 2026

• 

• Our annual Winter Tennis Tournament was held from January through March, featuring a variety of events. The Nippon Club Tennis Tournament began in 1978 and is now in its 48th year. Organized with the cooperation of the Tennis Committee and volunteers, the tournament promotes fellowship among tennis enthusiasts, including Nippon Club members, employees of member companies and their families, and non-members.

  

   

  The tournaments held in January and on February 28 took place at the Cary Leeds Indoor Tennis Center in the Bronx, while the tournaments on February 21 and in March were held on the indoor courts at the USTA National Tennis Center in Queens, where the U.S. Open is held annually. Unfortunately, the “Salonpas Cup” Mixed Doubles tournament scheduled for January 31 was canceled due to an unforeseen incident: the bubble roof at the venue, the Cary Leeds Tennis Center, partially collapsed as a result of heavy snowfall. We sincerely apologize to our sponsor, Hisamitsu America, and to all the players who registered for the event.
