About the Milwaukee Tennis Classic
The Milwaukee Tennis Classic is one of college tennis' signature early season events and is certified by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. Since the inaugural tournament in the mid 1970s, the Classic has brought nationally ranked men's and women's collegiate players to the Milwaukee area and has become known for high level draws, a community friendly atmosphere, and a tradition of showcasing future professionals.
Over the decades, the Classic has evolved while keeping its core mission of elevating tennis in Wisconsin. Recent editions have featured large singles and doubles fields on both the men's and women's sides at country clubs and racquet clubs across the region, with championship matches staged at premier local venues. The tournament's commitment to visibility, community engagement, and competitive excellence has helped it remain one of the longest running intercollegiate men's and women's tournaments in the country.
