Notes from our Co-Founder
“I’m not the only person out there who can play but doesn’t have the infrastructure to develop and train. What if we created a pro tennis league?”
- Jordan Myers
Jordan Myers is a tennis player and storyteller. With a background as an NCAA Division I athlete and a late-blooming surge as an aspiring professional tennis player, he brings both competitive grit and a fresh perspective to the court. Jordan also holds an MFA in creative writing and has a passion for capturing the journeys of those striving for greatness—on and off the court.
As a co-founder and the Voice of the APTL, Jordan’s role is to document, explain, and amplify what the league is building: a more accessible, more sustainable pro pathway that highlights the stories, challenges, and triumphs of the athletes and community making it possible.
Funds raised for the APTL support league operations (including staff/contractor compensation), events, and participating athletes; they are not personal donations to any individual’s training expenses.
Jordan’s own experience navigating the gaps and barriers in the current tennis system helps inform the league’s mission and messaging. But the APTL is bigger than any one person: it is an ecosystem being built for players facing these challenges—regardless of age, gender, or ranking.
Jordan is training to pursue an ATP ranking outside of the league. His path into competitive tennis has been unfolding over several years—and the APTL grew directly out of what he saw players need along the way. He will not compete as a player in the APTL. Instead, he serves as its co-founder and voice, using his vision and storytelling to help build the league’s purpose, grow its community, and support athletes trying to reach the next level.
