Stories Behind the Artifacts

These pieces aren’t just objects. They are moments frozen in time. A faded photograph from a high school championship, a program signed by a Hall of Famer, and a letter from a coach who built a local league from scratch — together they form a powerful narrative about how tennis has united generations across Texas.
