Cincinnati's Western & Southern Open: Updates, Draws, and Local Players
The Western & Southern Open, a nearly 125-year-old tennis tournament, may be leaving Mason as the Charlotte City Council moves forward on a $400 million tennis complex to potentially house the event. The new owners of the tournament, Beemok Capital Group, have asked for $150 million in improvements to the Lindner Family Tennis Center to keep the tournament in Mason. So far, Ohio has pledged $48 million, but an announcement on the tournament's future is expected this fall.
