icanluv2 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Is this right? The ad on tv(Mattress Mac) said that it would be the last year. I thought this was going to continue until 2010. What happened? I hope Mac can bring the U.S Open here to Houston one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Known as the second-oldest USTA National Championship tournament, behind the U.S. Open, the event was first contested in 1910 and was brought to Houston in 2001 by Gallery Furniture owners Jim and Linda McIngvale. "Although we have thoroughly enjoyed our relationship with the USTA, we feel that the expense involved in the tournament and the timing of the event on the ATP schedule makes it not feasible from an economic standpoint" said Westside owner Linda McIngvale. "We will continue to be the home of the WTT's Houston Wranglers and hope that we can host future events with the USTA such as the Davis Cup ties in the US."The final U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship will be held April 9th-15th 2007 and feature tennis stars like Andy Roddick, James Blake and Mardy Fish. With the departure of the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships, the McIngvales are concentrating on the newest incarnation of Westside - Westside Tennis and Fitness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
