Baha Mar, the Caribbean’s leading luxury resort destination, proudly announces an exciting new partnership with tennis legend John McEnroe to unveil the John McEnroe Tennis Center at Baha Mar. Set to debut ahead of the highly anticipated fifth-annual Baha Mar Cup, happening December 12-15, 2024, this world-class tennis facility marks McEnroe’s first-ever destination tennis center in the Caribbean—adding to Baha Mar’s unrivaled sporting experiences.
“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.”
Known for his passion throughout his career, McEnroe’s vision for the center is rooted in excellence and reflected in the teaching style of Baha Mar tennis professionals. The John McEnroe Tennis Center at Baha Mar will feature eight meticulously maintained courts, including six professional-grade hard courts and two Har-Tru clay courts, along with six top-tier pickleball courts. Suitable for beginners and advanced players alike, the center will soon unveil a wide range of engaging programs, clinics, resort tennis packages and private sessions designed for all ages and skill levels, plus a fully equipped pro shop offering premium tennis gear. John will appear personally throughout the year.
“I’m extremely excited to launch this groundbreaking partnership agreement with Baha Mar,” said John McEnroe. “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 John McEnroe Tennis Center at Baha Mar will provide year-round excitement for tennis aficionados, perfectly complementing Baha Mar’s existing world-class offerings. Previously hosting top-tier collegiate tournaments, the newly reimagined center is set to take center court just in time for the prestigious Baha Mar Cup, a unique pro-am and exhibition experience.
Taking place December 12-15, this year’s event promises to be bigger and better, with McEnroe himself taking part alongside tennis superstars Andy Roddick, James Blake, Taylor Townsend, Donna Vekic, Milos Raonic, Austin Krajicek, and Mark Knowles. The Baha Mar Cup benefits the Baha Mar Resort Foundation and the Mark Knowles Children’s Tennis Initiative, with all funds raised helping to grow the game in the Bahamas.
As a highlight, McEnroe, who’s as passionate about music as he is about tennis, will also grace the stage at the welcome party on December 13 for a live rock and roll performance with the Johnny Smyth band.
