PAGE 6 COLORADO TENNIS WINTER 2009 A DECADE OF CELEBRATING COLORADO'S RICH TENNIS HISTORY ine years ago, on a cold and snowy N night in Denver, the spotlights at Magness Arena on the University of Denver campus shone brightly on the first class of individuals to be named to the Colorado Tennis Hall of Fame. More than 5,000 tennis fans witnessed the presentation, which came on the front end of the MS Tennis Classic exhibition match between Monica Seles and Lindsay Davenport. Colorado has a rich tradition of tennis throughout the years, and the Hall of Fame provides a vehicle for due recognition for Colorado players, coaches, benefactors and administrators for their contributions to tennis. The goal of the Colorado Tennis Hall of Fame is to honor individuals who have made outstanding contributions to tennis in Colorado. On the eve of the Hall of Fame celebrating the induction of its 10th class, USTA Colorado is excited to announce that in just a few short months, the Colorado Tennis Hall of Fame will debut its new permanent home at Gates Tennis Center.
