Wisconsin Adult Tennis Tournaments

It all began in 1968 when Dan's father Bob started running the original Milwaukee Open at Washington Park. Bob was well known after being Wisconsin State Champion in men's singles and also played on the Hungarian Davis Cup team. Since Bob retired in 1998, Dan now runs some of the largest USTA sanctioned tournaments in the state for adults.
Dan's assistant director is a popular 4.0 women's player named Amy Richmond.
