History
History of the Mountain View Open
The 2008 Mountain View Open is the 40th edition of this annual
tournament. For the first 28 editions, from 1965 to 1992, the Mountain View
Open was sponsored by the Mountain View Recreation Department and directed by
Don Schaefer. Starting in the late 70's, the Mountain View Tennis Club provided
major assistance with the many of the behind the scene task. Then in 1993 and
1994, the club took over the responsibility for producing the tournament. From
1995 to 1998, there was a hiatus of 4 years with no Mountain View Open. Then in
1999, the Mountain View Open returned. The Mountain View Open currently is
produced by Cuesta Tennis Center with support from local community volunteers
and the Mountain View Park and Recreation Department. The tournament is
non-profit and self supporting. It is a City of Mountain View tradition that
provides a Memorial Day weekend sports event that families and tennis fans can
enjoy.
The tournament has attracted great players from all over
Northern California. Many of the participants are players from the local
universities and touring pros. Some of the great players of the past, who
played at this tournament and then went on to play at the U.S. Open, Wimbledon,
or on the Davis Cup or Federation Cup Teams, have been: Tom Brown, Whitney
Reed, Roscoe Tanner, Barry Mackay, Sandy Mayer, Gene Mayer, Nick Saviano, Kate
Latham, Ann Kiyomura, Kathy Jordan, and Rosie Casal.
