GAME NOTES
This year the San Francisco's men's tennis program will go head to head with No. 1 Wake Forest, No. 15 Texas, and Fresno State as the returning teams are No. 4 Stanford, No. 7 TCU, No. 12 USC, No. 18 Georgia, California, San Diego State, UC Santa Barbara, and West Coast Conference foes San Diego and Pacific.
"All players are playing for valuable men's main draw wild cards at the Tiburon Challenger and Fairfield Challenger. Both tournaments are $100,000 ATP Tour events. We could not make this happen without Steve Jackson and the California Tennis Club who's members and staff help with every aspect of this great event," said Head Coach Pablo Pires de Ameida.
"For our guys it's a true test to play at the highest level. We welcome the challenge and love playing on our home courts at the CTC. It's amazing to see so many people cheering on the Dons and the other great teams," said Pires de Ameida.
The women's field is comprised of six California schools including USC, Fresno State, Sacramento State and WCC opponents Pepperdine, University of Pacific and Santa Clara. There is a 16-player draw in singles and eight person draw in doubles as the Dons will be eyeing a wild card position into the $60,000 Stockton Challenger event for the winner of the singles draw.
"We are excited again to host and build this great tournament and bring in some of the best competition in the west coast to play for a wildcard into the Stockton Challenger. Each season this tournament has gotten better and better and we are thinking of more creative ways to get the best draws each year," said Head Coach
Peter Bartlett.
