Ebony Racquet Club

The Ebony Racquet Club extends our heartfelt gratitude to the Raleigh Tennis Association (RTA) and the Cy King Fund for their continued support and generosity.

We are especially thankful for the grant awarded in support of our collaboration with “Love to Serve,” presented by Andrew Waldrop and Roberta Hadley. These much-needed funds make a meaningful impact on the work we do every day.

Because of donations like these, the Ebony Racquet Club can continue its mission of making the sport of tennis accessible in underserved communities—spreading the love of tennis, one player at a time. ❤️🎾

If you believe in this mission and want to help us continue making an impact, we invite you to support our efforts. Every contribution counts.

🔥 Ebony Racquet Club Proud Moment! 🎾

We couldn’t be more proud of one of our very own — Lincoln Battle! From his early days dominating on the Ebony Racquet Club junior team to now competing against the world’s best on the ATP Challenger Tour, Lincoln continues to represent our club, our community, and our legacy with heart, hustle, and skill! 🙌💪❤️🎾

Last week, Lincoln received a wild card into the 2026 Cleveland Open — part of the prestigious ATP Challenger Tour — and competed in the main draw against tough competition. He faced Justin Boulais in Round 32! Lincoln fought hard, and showed the determination that we’ve always seen in him but fell just short with a final score of 3-6, 4-6.

Lincoln, your journey from the grounds of Ebony Junior Team Tennis to the pro circuit is an inspiration. The young players in our program today are watching your every move, and you show them that their dreams can be within reach.

Keep pressing to achieve your goals, juniors—you could be the next rising star!

Go Ebony Juniors! Keep rising!
