A signature tennis and lifestyle experience will unite players, families, coaches, business leaders and community partners while supporting the future of tennis.
SOUTH FULTON, Ga. — Tennis, culture, music, hospitality and community will converge as A Grand Slam Affair: Tennis en Blanc takes center stage at the South Fulton Tennis Center.
Saturday, Aug. 15, 2026
9 a.m.-4 p.m.
South Fulton Tennis Center, 5645 Mason Road, South Fulton, GA 30349
Presented by the 40 All Foundation, Center Court LLC, Royalty Racquet Club, DJ Mad Linx, and the City of South Fulton, Tennis en Blanc is designed to be more than a tennis event. It is a gathering built around a simple belief: the power of sport can transform lives.
The event will bring together competitive tennis, professional instruction, youth engagement, music, hospitality, community connection, and opportunities to support the sport’s future.
At its heart, Tennis en Blanc is intended to help get more people active and engaged in tennis while supporting ongoing programming and opportunities for individuals and communities that have historically faced limited access to the sport.
Proceeds and contributions associated with Tennis en Blanc will support the mission of the 40 All Foundation, a registered nonprofit organization committed to expanding access to tennis and creating opportunities through sport, education, programming, partnerships and community engagement. The foundation accepts donations and contributions to support ongoing tennis programming for underserved and under-resourced individuals and communities.
Tennis en Blanc will take place at the South Fulton Tennis Center, a premier municipal tennis facility operated by the City of South Fulton Department of Parks and Recreation.
The facility has a significant role in the development of African American tennis talent. Taylor Townsend trained at the South Fulton Tennis Center as a young player, while Christopher Eubanks developed his game there under the guidance of the Young family and practiced with the professional player Donald Young.
Tennis en Blanc will also feature local coaching talent, including Cliff Malivert, a Metro Atlanta-certified teaching professional and an alumnus of Florida A&M University. Malivert brings extensive experience in player development and professional tennis, including work with ATP and WTA players and service on the coaching staff at Evert Tennis Academy.
The initiative will be presented in collaboration with Louis Bolling Internationale™ (LBI), led by Louis Bolling, MISM, CPRP, a New York Life financial professional and recipient of the New York Life Orlando General Office Community Leader Award for June 2026.
