2025 ATA National Championships Headlined by Florida Tennis Champions & Finalists

The 2025 American Tennis Association (ATA) National Championships were held at the USTA National Campus from July 28 to August 3, drawing hundreds of athletes from across North America and the Caribbean.  

This historic event once again showcased the remarkable talent and diversity within the tennis community, reaffirming the ATA’s legacy as a foundational force in the sport since 1916. 

As one of the oldest and most influential tennis organizations in the United States, the ATA has served as a prolific pipeline for some of the greatest players, coaches, and contributors in tennis history. Since the first National Championships in 1917, the tournament has grown from just three events to five major divisions spanning junior, adult, and senior competition.  

USTA Florida proudly highlights the outstanding performances of athletes from the Sunshine State. This year, Florida produced 21 winners, including 6 doubles champions, and 30 finalists, with 11 of those coming from doubles competition. 

Before the competition, USTA Florida also served as the Presenting Sponsor of the ATA Awards Gala, held on July 27 at Rollins College’s Rice Pavilion. The Gala honored tennis trailblazers including Stacey Allaster, Jarmere and Jermaine Jenkins, and Illona Young, and paid tribute to the legacy of Althea Gibson. 

As both organizations continue working to make tennis more accessible and inclusive, the ATA National Championships remains as a powerful reminder of the sport’s ability to inspire many. Let’s take a look at the results and highlights from this year’s tournament.
