Many of the top NCAA Men's college teams in the country are expected to compete, including: Ball State University Bucknell University Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Pepperdine University Pomona-Pitzer Rice University San Diego State University UC Davis UC Los Angeles UC San Diego University of San Diego University of Southern California Villanova University (Entry List Subject to Change) Also entering this tournament will be top teaching pros, promising junior players, college coaches and former tour players, making this one of the most interesting and unusual competitor fields in the country. “We are very happy to host the top collegiate tennis players in the country for the 136th Annual Pacific Coast Men’s Doubles Championship,” said Bill Kellogg, Tournament Director and President of La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. “This year’s tournament will feature a strong field of teams which includes USC, UCLA and Pepperdine, along with local teams from University of San Diego, San Diego State University and UC San Diego.” Named one of the “Top 50 Tennis Resorts in the World” by Tennis Resorts Online, the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club's reputation as a top tennis destination started when it attracted its first major tournament – the Pacific Coast Men's Doubles Championship in 1942. The tournament is one of the five-oldest tennis events in the world and the second oldest tennis event in the United States. First held in 1890 at The Hotel Del Monte in Monterey, California, the event was created to promote the sale of real estate on the Monterey peninsula. The original concept pitted the best players from the East versus those from the West. This coast-to-coast rivalry was the inspiration for the Davis Cup. Past winners of the Pacific Coast Men’s Doubles Championship include some on the greatest names in tennis, including Jack Kramer, Ted Schroeder, Bobby Riggs, Pancho Segura, Don Budge, Tony Trabert, Stan Smith, Bob Lutz, Arthur Ashe, Dennis Ralston and John McEnroe.
