Event Highlights
More Details About This Event: In 2008, The Countrywide Classic will feature a 28-player singles draw and a 16-team doubles competition. In its 82nd year, the landmark Southern California ATP tournament is the longest running annual professional sporting event in Los Angeles, and offers total player compensation in excess of $1 million. Proceeds from the Countrywide Classic, held in conjunction with UCLA, benefit the grassroots programs of the non-profit Southern California Tennis Association (SCTA) and UCLA. The SCTA offers programs, leagues, and tournaments involving 300,000 juniors and 50,000 adults and seniors.
About Los Angeles Tennis Center: Located on the UCLA campus nestled just west of Pauley Pavilion and south of Drake Stadium is the impressive Los Angeles Tennis Center. The LATC, the first large-scale outdoor tennis stadium opened in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, was officially dedicated on May 20, 1984, just in time to host the 1984 NCAA Women's Tennis Championships and the 1984 Olympic Games tennis competition. Since then, the LATC has been site of several top collegiate and professional tournaments. The NCAA Women's Tennis Championships returned to the LATC in 1987 and '88, while the NCAA Men's Tennis Championships called the LATC home in 1997. |
