American Express and the USTA unveiled four refurbished tennis courts at the Madisonville Recreation Center during a ribbon-cutting ceremony today. The renovations, which included repairing and resurfacing two 78’ courts and building two 36’ courts, were part of the Fresh Courts program, introduced in 2010 by American Express and the USTA to support local tennis in communities across the U.S.
 
 
The renovation project, which began earlier this year, was completed in conjunction with the Western & Southern Open.
