Timon Corwin, the managing director of the Western Racquet Club, hopes the switch back to individual play will attract better talent to the Milwaukee Tennis Classic.
Twelve years removed from a change to team play format, the Milwaukee Tennis Classic reverted back to an individual tournament, with added incentives.
For the 42nd annual tournament last weekend, the Classic’s board united with the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. Now, the Classic is considered a gold-level event, which means singles players that win will receive a wild card to the ITA national championship held in Indian Wells, California, in November.
