Washington Tennis and Education Foundation Extends Partnership with Guest Services Inc.

In an exciting development for the Washington D.C. community, the Washington Tennis and Education Foundation (WTEF) is extending its partnership with Guest Services Incorporated (GSI) through April 2026. This collaboration is pivotal for maintaining and enhancing the facilities at the Rock Creek Tennis Center (RCTC), a treasured location that plays host to numerous community events and initiatives.

The Rock Creek Tennis Center, renowned for its extensive facilities, includes the William H.G. Fitzgerald Tennis Stadium and serves as the home for the prestigious Mubadala Citi DC Open, the only combined ATP-WTA 500-level tennis tournament globally.

Our work to Build Life Champions requires strong partners from across the DC area. The support from GSI makes sure the Rock Creek Tennis Center is an asset to the community."

GSI's CEO Nico Foris emphasized their dedication to the areas they manage, noting, "We are committed to our ongoing support as a means of thanking the communities we serve. The work WTEF does to provide opportunities and better the lives of our youth is extraordinary and we are thrilled to work with them to further this mission at Rock Creek Park Tennis Center and throughout DC."
