Tulsa Seeks to Become a Tennis 'Mecca' for Collegiate Events

KWGS News

Over the next few months, big time tennis events will mean big bucks for Tulsa. Right now, the men’s I-T-A All-American championships are underway at the Case Center at T-U, next comes the I-T-F junior tournament, then the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Division 1 Championships in the spring. Ray Hoyt is President of the Tulsa Sports Commission and he says the three tennis events at TU will mean about eight million dollars to the Tulsa economy.

The NCAA Championships at the end of May will be responsible for more than five million of that dollar impact.
