From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tennis competitions at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto were held from July 10 to 16[1] at the Rexall Centre, which was known as the Canadian Tennis Centre for the duration of the games due to naming rights.[2][3] A total of five events were contested (two each for men and women, and a mixed doubles event).[2] Argentina topped the medal table,[4] with gold medals in the men's singles and mixed doubles,[5] while hosts Canada also achieved gold in the women's doubles event.[6]
