Manhattan Square Tennis Clubs was a tennis club in Rochester. It closed in 2018 to make way for the Strong Museum expansion.

From their website:

"Manhattan Square Tennis Club ... in operation since 1979. In 2004, ... purchased by the Thyroff family. Scott Thyroff oversees the daily operation ... Scott's father, Joe and brother, Brad join Scott ... making it a ... family operation.


... family brings extensive tennis experience to the club. Both Scott and Brad played varsity tennis at Pittsford Mendon High School and were named All-American. They were coached by Bob Nagle. After Nagle's retirement, Joe Thyroff moved from coaching the JV team to fill the Varsity position. Both Scott and Brad have been recognized extensively for their accomplishments in the sport.


... club brings this extensive tennis experience to the community by a family with strong ties to the Rochester area. Thousands have learned the game at Manhattan Square Tennis Club. ... family supports such programs as Love 15¹ ... giving court time which allows inner city youngsters to learn the game. The Thyroff family continues to seek future opportunities to teach the sport they love while contributing to the community in which they live."
