There will be many players recognizable to fans of Oklahoma tennis including native Oklahomans Zeke Clark (currently ranked in the top 500 in the world), Emma Staker, Nathan Han and Zoe Hammond. The event will follow the World Team Tennis (WTT) format and is designed so fans and players alike have a fun, immersive and engaging time.

The Cracked Rackets broadcast team, anchored by Alex Gruskin, will be announcing and streaming all of the matches live.
The Oklahoma Tennis Foundation is the beneficiary of proceeds from the tournament. These proceeds will allow them to continue to improve the quality of life of children and adults, people with disabilities, and others with special needs through tennis and educational programs that are based on health, fitness, character-building and self-improvement.
