To celebrate The Ojai’s 100th tournament in the year 2000, 76 players had their names added to the Wall of Fame at the entrance near the grandstand at Libbey Park. Since then, more names have been added, including Mike and Bob Bryan, as players who have competed at The Ojai and later went on to win at least one major Grand Slam tournament: the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon or the US Open. As of 2022, there are 93 names on the Wall of Fame & a redesigned Wall of Fame was introduced in 2023 to make room for future champions!
