About the Western & Southern Open

The Western & Southern Open takes place August 12-20, 2017 at the Lindner Family Tennis Center, 20 miles north of Cincinnati in Mason, OH. The tournament is one of the prestigious ATP Masters 1000 events on the men’s tour and a Premier 5 event for the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), making it one of only five events in the world outside of the grand slams with events of that caliber occurring during the same week at the same venue. The tournament is also one of the last stops on the US Open Series before the US Open in New York. Since 1974, the tournament has contributed more than $10 million directly to its beneficiaries: Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, the Barrett Cancer Center and Tennis for City Youth.

 

About PAUL FLORY. He grew the sport. He was dedicated to the “Cincy” Tournament. He had a passion few mortals possess.

He was one of the worlds best tournament directors as well as promoter. His tourney in CINCY pulls in tennis fans from all over the country. Heavy with about 15 states that are around it. It’s also hugely popular with people from all over the world. The event is fabulous. Paul is gone. But his legacy will last forever. He never paid himself a salary. Nothing for decades. Actually For his whole career.

He grew the sport versus greedy, lazy “undertakers” that lost their tournaments in America. Why do I call them undertakers? Simple. They are killing the sport. Tennis needs its PATRONS.
