  • History of MTEF
    MTEF For 41 Years, Much More Than a Tennis Program History of the Milwaukee Tennis & Education Foundation 1975: With the blessing of Al McGuire, then athletic director of Marquette University, the Milwaukee Ten- nis Classic Foundation, Inc. was founded by Chas Mulcahy, George Gaspar and John Roethle with a mis- sion to promote tennis in general and Marquette tennis in particular, throughout Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin. To this end, the foundation staged the 1st Annual Milwaukee Tennis Classic, a national inter- collegiate tournament for both men and women beginning on Dec. 28, 1975 with early rounds at MU’s Helfaer Tennis and Recreation Center and finals at the Milwaukee Auditorium. For the first few years, the tournament was co-hosted by Marquette and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The event quickly grew into the largest (and eventually longest-run- ning) event of its kind in the United States, at times drawing upwards of 200 competitors from schools across the nation. In 1990 an entire squad from the University of Leuven in Bel- gium traveled to Milwaukee to compete. With this number of participants, early rounds of competition were expanded to other Milwaukee-area indoor clubs, such as Highlander, North Shore Elite, LeClub, Pleasant Valley and Lake Country establishing a strong link between the Mulcahy foundation and the local tennis community. Unlike most collegiate tournaments, MTC players have always been housed with local families. Through- out the years, hundreds of families have opened their doors to MTC participants and many long-lasting friend- ships have ensued. Many competitors, such as Paul Annacone, Byron Black, Thomas Blake, Jane Chi, Tami Whitlinger, Sar- gis Sargsian and Chris Woodruff, went on to successful careers on the ATP and WTP tours.
