Similar to the USTA Tennis on Campus program's goals, the University of Minnesota Tennis Club also seeks to promote and support the expansion of tennis on the University's campus.

The University of Minnesota Tennis Club is excited to announce that we will be hosting our second annual Gopher Invitational at the Baseline Tennis Center in Minneapolis, MN October 3-4.  It is an outdoor event that is held on Baseline’s 12 outdoor courts.
