Tennis players to gather for Pac Coast Tourney The 121st annual Pacific Coast Men’s Doubles Tennis Championship returns to the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club next Thursday, March 4, with finals scheduled for Sunday, March 7. Many of the best NCAA men’s college teams in the country have applied to enter, including Rice, Stanford, UCLA, Cal, USC, Pepperdine and local universities USD, UCSD and SDSU. Registration for the Pacific Coast Men’s Doubles Championship is open to all United States Tennis Association (USTA) members and, in addition to some of the top collegiate teams, many of San Diego’s best teaching pros and top junior players will take part. Admission to this four-day tournament is free and open to the public. There is a nominal on-site parking fee. This year marks the 68th anniversary of the Pacific Coast Doubles Championship being held at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. This longstanding tradition is the second-oldest tennis event in the United States. The tournament was first held in Monterey and focused on pitting the best players from the East and West coasts against each other. This coast-to-coast rivalry was the inspiration for the worldwide men’s tennis competition between nations known as the Davis Cup.
