The tournament draws tennis players and fans from all over the metro area to Lewis and Clark’s campus. The USTA Pro Circuit has served as a launching pad for some of tennis’ greatest players. Andy Roddick, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Maria Sharapova and Lindsay Davenport are among the
game’s top stars who began their careers on the USTA Pro Circuit.

The men’s futures tournament is free and open to the public. Spectators are provided with covered stadium seating, which keeps them comfortable and shaded from the heat.

This year the college will also host a free skills clinic for children on July 28 at 9 a.m. Children of all ages will have a chance to learn tennis skills from some of the tournament’s professionals.
