The Tennis in the Land tournament, now in its fourth edition, has transformed Cleveland into a global tennis hub, attracting some of the best female tennis professionals in the world. Held at the dynamic West Bank of the Flats in downtown Cleveland, this prestigious event is one of only four professional women's tennis tournaments in the United States, making it a must-see event for tennis enthusiasts across the country.
Dedication and Diversity: The Team Behind the Success
Alexa Brooks, an essential part of the tournament organization, moved to Ohio specifically because of this event. "I moved here because it's a women's tennis tournament," Brooks explained. "Participating in one of the rare exclusively women's tennis tournaments in the U.S. is a huge honor." Her commitment to advancing women's sports is clear. Her involvement has been key to the tournament's success.
With the rising popularity of women's sports, Ben Moore, another key organizer, highlighted the unique opportunity the tournament offers. "This event attracts elite players from around the world and involves a diverse team working behind the scenes," Moore said. "Our operations team includes professionals from France, Vanuatu, Spain, Hawaii, and China. We are covering all corners of the globe."
The tournament, which runs until August 24, offers numerous opportunities to watch high-level tennis every day. In addition to the matches, the event promotes activities such as Women in Sports Day. This is a free networking and panel event aimed at empowering women in the sports industry. "This is something that is very dear to me," Brooks commented. "It is a privilege to help at one of the rare women's tennis tournaments in the country."
The Tennis in the Land continues to be a beacon for women's tennis. It not only shines in Cleveland but also on a global scale. The tournament brings together players, fans, and professionals from around the world in a celebration of the sport.
