The Lindner Family Tennis Center is a tennis facility in Mason, Ohio. It is the home of the Cincinnati Open and is owned by Tennis for Charity, Inc. The grounds include five permanent tennis stadia, Center Court, Grandstand Court, Champions Court, Stadium 3 and Court 10, distinguishing the center as the only world tennis venue, apart from the four Grand Slam venues, with more than two permanent stadia. Center Court, built in 1981 and expanded many times since, has a capacity of 11,600.
Its name, The Lindner Family Tennis Center, pays tribute to the family of a former tournament sponsor, the late Cincinnati financier, Carl Lindner, Jr., rather than a more intriguing local attribute such as Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
Browning Day of Indianapolis has been the architectural firm of record for the Center since its conception.
