With the French Open heading into its second week, tennis is certainly on the forefront of our minds. And as we head deeper into the sweltering summer, there will only be more tennis to enjoy, from the Thomas E. Price Met to the Western & Southern Open in August. Cincinnati is a sports town, tennis chief among the list.

On Saturday, June 2nd, tennis enthusiasts enjoyed an evening of the 40-love spirit with a chance to play on the same courts as Rafa and Nole. Locals in the community came out for a good cause, raising money for the Special Olympics. There were even a few Bengals players on site who dropped the shoulder pads and grabbed a racquet.

To see what the event was all about keep scrolling…
