By: Guy Britton - November 20, 2024

In a seriously big development for Nassau Paradise Island, tennis legend John McENroe is set to unveil his first-ever tennis center in the Caribbean next month. 

The new John McEnroe Tennis Center at Baha Mar will open at the celebrated Cable Beach resort ahead of the property’s annual Baha Mar Cup, which runs Dec. 12-15. 

“John McEnroe is an icon, and his legacy in the tennis world is extraordinary,” said Graeme Davis, President of Baha Mar. “We are proud to partner with him and bring the John McEnroe Tennis Center at Baha Mar to life. This state-of-the-art facility will be a game-changer for our guests and tennis lovers alike, further enriching Baha Mar’s world-class portfolio of amenities.”

The center will “provide year-round excitement for tennis aficionados,” the property said in a statement provided to Caribbean Journal.

“I’m extremely excited to launch this groundbreaking partnership agreement with Baha Mar,” McEnroe said.  “This incredible destination is the perfect stage to share my passion and love for the game, and I can’t wait to inspire players of all ages and levels – from novices to future champions.”

The facility had previously hosted top-tier college tournaments.
