International Tennis Hall of Fame Unveils Renovated Museum

The International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island, has reopened its museum following a multimillion-dollar renovation and unveiled a new symbol to define Hall of Fame membership for years to come.

The project was funded by a portion of the $12 million Tennis Forever Capital Campaign, which began in 2018, and are the first renovations to the museum since 2015. The renovations were highlighted by the reimagining of the Hall of Famers Gallery and the Celebration Gallery, two areas that celebrate the sport’s history.

The Hall of Famers Gallery is a space honoring every Hall of Famer with a new symbol of induction: a cast racquet. Celebration Gallery will include Madison Keys‘ outfit from her title earlier this year at the Australian Open; A shirt and shorts won by eight-time major winner Andre Agassi; Jannik Sinner‘s racket from his 2024 U.S. Open championship win and the umpire’s scorecard from the 1968 match between Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall at the first-ever Open Era tournament.

The Hall of Famers Gallery will feature a Class of 2025 tribute exhibit from this year’s inductees, Maria Sharapova and Bob and Mike Bryan. Sharapova and the Bryans will be honored the weekend August 21—23, 2025. Sharapova’s dresses from her 2004 Wimbledon, 2006 US Open and 2012 French Open titles will all be on display.

Artifacts from the Bryan brothers’ careers that are on display include their men’s doubles championship trophies from the 2013 Australian Open, 2013 French Open, 2013 Wimbledon, 2012 US Open and 2003 French Open plus the 2012 Olympic gold medal.

“We are ecstatic to unveil these innovative, interactive spaces in the museum and are grateful to those who partnered with us to preserve the history of the game and accomplish these renovations,” said Dan Faber, ITHF chief executive officer. “We cannot wait to welcome fans from around the world to Newport and our facility to celebrate tennis history and honor some of the sport’s most transformative champions.”

Additional updates include an interactive journey through the major championships narrated by Roger Federer; the origins of tennis in Newport and a renovated Court Tennis Viewing Gallery, which details the history and development of racquet sports.
