Dear all --
We hope you all are doing well and your families are safe. Thanks to
everyone in the Harvard tennis community who works in healthcare - we
couldn't get through this without you. Speaking of that, there is a
GoFundMe running now to help support our medical workers get protective
equipment:

Mike made a short video to check in with you during this time of social
isolation:

We hope you are all finding ways to stay fit. Here are some good online
resources for tennis while you're off the court.
Dear all--
COVID-19: In the interest of the health and well-being of participants and
staff, Harvard is closing all recreation facilities beginning today,
