PAC-12 TENNIS INFORMATION CONTINUED OJAI HISTORY: The Pac-12 Championships will keep with tradition as the featured event at this year’s 112th Ojai Valley Tennis Tournament, which attracts 1,600 of the best college, junior and open players from the Western states. The annual event, started by William Thacher in 1896, has been played at the same site and interrupted only five times. If this tournament, put on entirely by volunteer efforts on public and privately owned courts, seems an unlikely place to see championship quality players, consider who has appeared here: Pete Sampras, Lindsay Davenport, Michael Chang, Rick Leach, Tracy Austin, Billy Jean King, Arthur Ashe, Jimmy Connors and the Bryan twins. These tennis greats are among more than 85 former players at The Ojai who have gone on to win one or more Grand Slam events as professional tennis players, all of whom are listed on Libbey Park’s “Wall of Fame.” HOW TO GET TO OJAI: Ojai Valley Athletic Club and Libby Park are located at 409 Fox Street, Ojai, CA 93023. The Ojai Tournament website is: www.ojaitourney.org/tournament-info BRACKETS: The men’s bracket has been finalized and can be found on page five. The women’s singles and doubles draw will be available by the morning on Wednesday, April 23. Both brackets will be available on the Pac12 Tennis Championship website at http://pac-12.com/2014-pac-12-tennis-championships. TICKET PRICES: Cash and credit card only accepted.
