MP Tennis & Sports has served North Tampa since 1998, when owner Mike Pratt opened it as MP Tennis, drawing on his coaching background to build a full-service tennis retailer. The store has since expanded into racquetball, pickleball, and even bowling ball drilling, and it runs the MP Tennis Ladder, a county-wide league with more than 50 seasons played and 45,000-plus matches. For pickleball, the shop carries paddles from Selkirk, Paddletek, Head, Gearbox, and Engage, backed by a demo program (two paddles at a time, one week each) plus court shoes, balls, and while-you-wait re-gripping. It holds a 4.5 rating across 88 Google reviews.
