Welcome to the 2015 Bermuda Clay Court Championships!
A tournament steeped in history and tradition.
The Coral Beach &
Tennis Club in Bermuda is the one of two clubs in the world located outside of the
U.S. with Direct Membership to the USTA. As a result Coral Beach can host USTA
sanctioned events.
This is because Bermuda exported the game of Tennis to the U.S. in 1874.
Bermudians then built the first tennis courts in the U.S. in 1875 at the Staten
Island Cricket & Baseball Club and Bermuda helped create the USTA in 1881.
The Bermuda Clay Court Championships at the Coral Beach & Tennis Club is
rich in tennis history and has run for over seventy years. The event has hosted
reigning Wimbledon and U.S. Open Champions and other great players.
