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 91 names on the Wall of Fame, set to be redesigned and updated in the year 2023.
Many of the greats of tennis have played in Ojai, including Bill Tilden, Tony Trabert, Bobby Riggs, Jack Kramer, Arthur Ashe, Billie Jean King, Pancho Gonzales, Alex Olmedo, Stan Smith, Jimmy Connors, Tracy Austin, Michael Chang, Lindsay Davenport and Pete Sampras. The entire list of Ojai Wall of Fame members follows.
