St. Vincent's Auxiliary Men's Professional Tennis Tournament

To Promote and Develop the Growth of Tennis

The United States Tennis Association (USTA) is the national governing body for the sport of tennis and the recognized leader in promoting and developing the sport’s growth on every level in the United States, from local communities to the crown jewel of the professional game, the US Open.

Each year St. Vincent’s Auxiliary proudly hosts the USTA tournaments right here in Little Rock, AR. St. Vincent’s Auxiliary and Pleasant Valley Country Club has sponsored this Professional Tennis tournament since 1984.

Over the years, this tournament has launched the professional tennis careers of very well known icons in sport. The most notable being Andre Agassi. Others who have gone on to world class careers are the Jensen brothers, Brad Gilbert, Ken Flach, Robert Seguso, Jimmy Arias and Andy Roddick to name a few.

In 1992, the United States Southern Tennis Association voted this event the “Adult Tournament of the Year” and, in 2010, it was awarded “Special Tennis Event of the Year”. The tournament has grown from a small event with only a few spectators to a major tennis event featuring top future professional players from around the world attended by hundreds of people and sponsorships that raise funds for health related causes.
