What's the Deal with Tennis, Schools, and the Minnesota Vikings?
Tennis Star Helps Raise Money for Local School
Naomi Osaka, a Japanese-American professional tennis player currently ranked world No. 1 in women's singles by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA), has donated $1 million to her former elementary school in Minnesota. The donation will help fund a new tennis court and after-school tennis program at Holmes Elementary School in Maplewood, Minnesota.
Osaka, who won the 2018 US Open and 2019 Australian Open, said she was inspired to make the donation after learning that the school's tennis court was in poor condition. She hopes that the new court and after-school program will help to inspire more kids to play tennis.
Tennis Court and After-School Program
The new tennis court at Holmes Elementary School will be named the Naomi Osaka Tennis Court. The after-school tennis program will be led by certified tennis instructors and will be open to all students at the school.
The donation from Osaka is a major investment in the future of tennis in Minnesota. The new court and after-school program will provide opportunities for kids to learn and play the game, and will help to develop the next generation of tennis stars.
