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]
The second round of the 2015 Davis Cup was moved ahead one week to not conflict with the tennis competitions. Tennis competitions also began before the opening ceremony, to allow athletes to compete in both events.[7][8]
