The Ningbo (Yinzhou) Tennis Center (Chinese: 宁波(鄞州)网球中心) is a sports complex located in Yinzhou District, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China. It consists of a tennis complex and an adjacent swimming facility known as the Yinzhou District Swimming Center. Construction began on November 8, 2007,[1] and the venue officially opened to the public on June 5, 2010.[2] The main court was renovated and upgraded on October 4, 2025,[3] and officially reopened on October 10, 2025.[4]
The tennis center features a total of 23 standard courts,[5] covering an area of 73,000 square meters. The center court accommodates 3,995 spectators and was designed to ensure that the audience feels close to the court from any seat, enhancing the viewing experience.[6]
After the 2025 renovation, a retractable roof inspired by the design of a Camellia flower was added. It features 12 curved domes, each 30 meters long and spanning 15 meters, with a projection area of 300 square meters.[3] An additional 1,200-seat secondary show court was also constructed.[4]
The main court meets international standards for hosting high-level tennis events, with a clear height of 12.5 meters. The complex includes six indoor and sixteen outdoor courts: twelve hard courts, two clay courts, and two grass courts. The clay courts use imported North American clay, and all outdoor courts are equipped with lighting for night play. The facility also contains areas for table tennis and billiards, sports equipment shops, and VIP lounges.
The swimming center features a 50 m × 25 m indoor pool with 400 spectator seats, one 50 m × 25 m outdoor pool, and one 25 m × 10 m indoor training pool.[7]: 1954–1595 [8]
