"It's difficult to explain the true essence of this tournament in a simple press release," states Ken Thomas "but there are a couple of factors that make this tournament very special. One factor is the tournaments' history. It's origins date back to 1887 (keep in mind that California didn't become a State until 1850). It is one of the oldest tennis events in the United States. There are actual photo's of players arriving by horse and wagon to play tennis in Ojai."
"The list of former players that have participated at Ojai is astonishing. It includes Bill Tilden, Tony Trabert, Bobby Riggs, Jack Kramer, Arthur Ashe, Billy Jean King, Pancho Gonzales, Alex Olmedo, Stan Smith, Jimmy Connors, Tracy Austin, Michael Chang, Lindsay Davenport, Pete Sampras, John McEnroe and the Bryan brothers. The "Wall of Champions" at the grandstand in Libbey Park names over 80 players who competed at Ojai, and won one or more "Grand Slam" titles as professionals."
"However, what I enjoy the most about Ojai is the atmosphere. It is played in a small agricultural/artist community that is tucked into a lush valley between the Pacific Ocean and the Southern California mountains. The venue is a public park. Those in attendance understand competitive tennis and appreciate the history of the event. The place will be packed with spectators, the sun always seems to shine, the tennis is first-class, the orange juice is sweet and life is just about as good as it gets when your at the Ojai."
