Press Release: The Las Vegas City Council awarded a contract to CJMS Tennis Management Company to operate the Amanda and Stacy Darling Tennis Center. The Darling Tennis Center is one of the finest public tennis venues in the country, but due to the economy, the city was considering closing it to save money.  This agreement allows the center to stay open.

The principals in CJMS Tennis Management have a Nevada tennis pedigree.  The company consists of members of the Querrey and Foley families.  One of the partners is Sam Querrey, a current star in men’s professional tennis and a member of the U.S. Davis Cup Team. The Foleys, Jeff and Sandy, have been associated with Nevada tennis for a number of years and Sandy had a large part in getting the Darling Center built.

“I am extremely pleased that Sandy is there, she has done such a great job at the facility, and in my mind was irreplaceable. I am so happy it worked out this way,” said Fred Darling who was part of making the center possible years ago with a personal donation to honor his children. “With such a great tennis family like the Querrey’s who have ties to Las Vegas and to international tennis competition how could the city be luckier? It is great!” (Click here for the full Press Release)
