Very sorry for the loss of Bob. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.
We're saddened to hear of the recent passing of our friend, Robert "Bob" Dunlop.
Bob was a lifelong tennis player and fan. He competed on the Yale Varsity team for four years, served on numerous USTA boards and committees, including our Board of Directors, and pursued his lifelong dream of running a successful tennis club. He proudly owned and operated Madison Racquet & Swim Club for 34 years.
Bob was a tremendous presence in the New England tennis community, always supporting his players and coaches and passing his love for the sport onto the next generation.
Thank you, Bob. You will be greatly be missed ❤️🎾
Thank you to everyone who continues to keep Todd’s Legacy alive.
