The Ojai Tennis Tournament is one of the largest and longest-running tennis tournaments in the United States, dating back to 1896. This year’s 121st tournament will take place April 26-30. The Ojai has not only had an impact over the years in Southern California tennis, but also worldwide. This year, the iconic Wall of Fame will be updated and redesigned with the names of the 93 players who participated in The Ojai but also went on to win at least one of the four major tournaments – the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open. At the recent Australian Open 18 players who played Ojai took part in the year’s first Grand Slam.
This year, more than 1,000 players will be playing in one of the 19 events, including juniors, Boys’ CIF, Community Colleges, Pac-12 and men’s and women’s money open events with $20,000 at stake. Matches will be played at storied Libbey Park, Weil Academy, Ojai Athletic Club, Ojai Valley Inn and various other sites as far as West Ventura County. Join us for some high-caliber tennis and traditional tea and orange juice at one of the most storied tournaments in all of tennis.

HISTORY
Tradition of Tea & Tennis Dating Back to 1896
The history of The Ojai really dates back to 1887 when Sherman Day Thacher came to Ojai to become a farmer and grow citrus. After building his stone house on 160 acres of land in the East End of the valley, he soon learned that he would require some financial assistance to survive, and so started tutoring students on the ranch, then called Casa de Piedra.

‘The Ojai’ really fired us up to play tennis and to be good enough to play there someday. …… The whole scene there was so magical for us. And when we started playing there as each year passed we had more and more local fans coming out to watch us and root for us. We were so proud to win titles there and still have great memories of ‘The Ojai.’
