We are excited to announce the Inaugural $25,000 Oklahoma Tennis Foundation Open Tennis Tournament to be held September 14-16, 2023, at Edmond Center Court in Edmond, OK. The tournament will feature a Shrimp Boil and Calcutta event on Thursday evening, September 14th, at 7 pm with tennis action beginning on Friday night, September 15th at 7:00 pm. Saturday, September 16th will be action-packed, starting off with an Adaptive Clinic at 10:30 am, followed by Semi-Final action beginning at noon, a Kids Day event at 4:30 pm with Finals action beginning at 7:00 pm.
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. Unique to the tourney will be our payout structure with $15,000 to be split amongst the winning team. 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.
Sponsors include Head and Red Bull. Come on out, have some fun and watch some great tennis!
