USTA Louisiana

We are screaming congratulations to our very own Ciara Sergi! 🎉

Ciara recently won the Girls' 18 Doubles at the USTA Southern Closed Championships! This achievement awarded her and her partner with a Main Draw Doubles Wildcard into the W35 Florence professional tournament!

Ciara is a fantastic representative of our state and has been a longtime member of our Ozaki Cup Team. She is a great competitor and consistently demonstrates outstanding sportsmanship!

We are so proud of you, Ciara, and we can't wait to continue supporting you as you build on this amazing achievement. Congratulations and we know there are many more great things ahead!

No matter who you are, where you’re from, or how you play—there’s a tennis court waiting for you.

We have some incredible news to share!

One of our junior players from Lake Charles has been selected as the official coin tosser for the US Open Semifinals!

This honor couldn’t have gone to a more deserving player. The Istre Family, recipients of the 2025 Mickey McNulty Family of the Year award, continue to make a lasting impact by growing and supporting the game we all love.

Congratulations, Christian… We can’t wait to see you on the biggest stage in tennis! 🏆🪙
