Longwood Cricket Club
It wasn’t until recently I overturned this tournament and I can now see why. According to wikipedia, ‘From 1990 to 1995, the U.S. Pro event appears to have been an exhibition and not part of the ATP tour.’
It does have some historic significance however, as it was the oldest professional tournament until 1999, but seemed to have been passed around various tennis clubs from Forest Hills, NY to Cleveland, OH and finally ending up at the Longwood Cricket Club no less. I didn’t think the USA had any cricket clubs!
During the early 90s is was a clay event and mostly an exhibition until going pro again for it’s last 3 years on hard court
