The Citi Taste of Tennis series is produced by AYS Sports Marketing and was the brainchild of AYS’ founders Judi and Penny Lerner. Back in 2001 Judi and Penny, both longtime tennis fans, dreamed of creating an event that combined the international appeal of fine food and professional tennis. Citi Taste of Tennis was born, and now 20 years later it has become one of the most anticipated events at tennis tournaments nationwide.
