OJAI HISTORY: The Pac-10 Championships will again be the featured event at this year’s 111th Ojai Valley Tennis Tournament, which attracts 1,600 of the best college, junior and open players from the Western states. The annual event, started by William Thacher in 1896, has been played at the same site and interrupted only five times. If this tournament, put on entirely by volunteer efforts on public and privately owned courts, seems an unlikely place to see championship quality players, consider who has appeared here: , , Michael , , , Billy Jean King, , and the Bryan twins. These tennis greats are among more than 85 former players at The Ojai who have gone on to win one or more events as professional tennis players, all of whom are listed on Libbey Park’s “Wall of Fame.” Pac-10 Tennis - April 27, 2011 Page 2 USC WINS MEN’S TITLE STANFORD TAKES WOMEN’S TITLE ITA RANKINGS On the men’s side, USC each finished 6-0 in Conference play to win the Pac-10 crown.
