Bass-Rudd Tennis Center earns the honor for the third time
The University of Louisville's Bass-Rudd Tennis Center has received the United States Tennis Association (USTA) Kentucky's Facility of the Year Award. The award will be formally presented on Oct. 10 at the organization's awards luncheon.
Â
"We are flattered to be named USTA Kentucky Facility of the Year," said Bass-Rudd Tennis Center Director Rex Ecarma. "It is always nice to be recognized. I want to acknowledge first and foremost, our associate director Meg Peavy, for her tireless work here. I also want to thank Kevin Miller as well as Josh Heird, Rob Brawner, Jason Bond and Ray Bronger. Our new LED Direct lighting system in the best in America. I want to thank Clean Tech Technologies as well. The new flooring, furniture, meeting room and match chairs look great."
Â
About the Bass-Rudd Tennis Center: UofL opened the doors to the Bass-Rudd Tennis Center in 1994. The facility is named in honor of Lewis 'Sonny' Bass and Mason Rudd, who each donated toward its construction. After several updates throughout the years, the Bass-Rudd Tennis Center boasts six indoor courts and eight lighted outdoor courts with electronic scoreboards. A state-of-the-art video board was added for the indoor courts in 2010.
Â
The building also houses men's and women's locker rooms, a training room, player lounge areas and offices to accompany its brand new Deco-Turf surfaced courts. Another special feature of the tennis center is the Wimbledon Room, a conference room overlooking the indoor courts.
Â
The University of Louisville was the host site for the men's 2010 NCAA first and second rounds as the Cards advanced to the round of 16 for the first time in school history. In 2006, fans filled the stands when the Bass-Rudd was the site of the NCAA tournament first and second rounds, marking the first time in school history that the Cards were selected to host the event.
Â
In addition to college events, the Bass-Rudd Tennis Center has also been the host site for United States Tennis Association events including WTA Challengers in 2003 and 2005.
