Information on The Callen Cup

The Callen Cup had previously been called the Southern Senior Cup. It was renamed by the USTA Southern Board of Directors in July 2021 for the late John Callen, who was USTA Southern Executive Director and COO for 33 years.

 

2023

 

In a brief recap, this week felt like North Carolina's year all the way until the very last minute.

For some context: The women’s 35s, 45s, & 55s final was all North Carolina vs. Georgia (pictured above). It took Georgia winning all three matches to get earn a tie in women’s overall standings, let alone the two Georgia men's teams winning on Sunday. To show just how close this competition was, the women's 35s line 2 doubles was the final match. After split sets it went to a 10-point tiebreak. That result is what earned them the Mildred Southern Cup.
