Charlotte Could Become a Major Tennis Destination with Proposed Stadium and Tournament Move

The new owners of the Western & Southern Open tennis tournament, Beemok Capital, are considering moving the event from Mason, Ohio to Charlotte, North Carolina. The move would involve building a $400 million tennis complex in Charlotte, which would have an economic impact of $275 million and 350,000 global ticket sales. Beemok Capital is currently evaluating its options before investing in an expansion of the tournament. The Ohio House has included an $84.5 million earmark for the Lindner center, where the tournament is currently held, to aid a $150 million expansion of the facility.
