About this listen
Tennis isn't just a sport — it can also be a vehicle to change lives and leave a lasting impact.
Just ask Stacey Allaster. The chief executive of professional tennis at the USTA and U.S. Open tournament director is a lifer in the sport. Even though she didn't play it at the highest level, she's led it from those same heights, earning her this year's USTA Mid-Atlantic Foundation's Tennis Creates Impact Award.
Allaster will receive the award at the Tennis Creates Gala, Dec. 6 at the Salamander Washington D.C., the USTA Mid-Atlantic Foundation's signature fundraising event.
On this edition of District of Sports, Allaster joins George Gerbo to discuss the honor, her lifetime experiences in tennis, including leading America's Grand Slam through a global pandemic and elevating it to heights, as well the surging state of the sport after the emergences of stars such as Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka.
