The Lindner Family Tennis Center is home to the prestigious Cincinnati Open professional tournament. This past August, the 16-day event drew a record 300,288 fans. More information about the venue and the attendance record is available at: https://cincinnatiopen.com/news/a-tournament-to-remember-the-2026-cincinnati-open-by-the-numbers/
The Lindner Family Tennis Center recently underwent a $260 million renovation, with investment by the Cincinnati Open with the City of Mason, Warren County and the State of Ohio. It brings the total number of outdoor courts at the venue to 31 while also adding a six-court indoor facility, pickleball and padel courts, new locker room facilities and a clubhouse that will be utilized year-round with a restaurant and function room space.
In the event of inclement weather, play will move to the new indoor courts on site at the Lindner Family Tennis Center.
In June of 2025, the OHSAA announced that its girls and boys tennis state tournaments would return to Lindner after a three-year hiatus. Lindner hosted the OHSAA tennis state tournaments from the fall of 2014 through the spring of 2022 before undergoing renovations. The Ohio State University hosted the OHSAA girls and boys tennis state tournaments during the 2022-23 school year. The College of Wooster then hosted the events for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years.
