The Citi Taste of Tennis series is produced by AYS Sports Marketing and was the brainchild of AYS’ founders Judi and Penny Lerner. In 2000 the mother-daughter duo and longtime tennis fans, dreamed of creating an event that combined the international appeal of fine food and professional tennis. As such, Taste of Tennis was born. With over 20 years and hundreds of events under their belt, Taste of Tennis created by AYS has become one of the most anticipated “off the court” events at U.S and international tennis tournaments. The DC edition, which coincides with the Citi Open, follows Citi Taste of Tennis events in Indian Wells, Miami and London.
Tickets to the event are $300 and include unlimited food and drink throughout the evening. Group discounts are also available.
