On Saturday, June 14th, the Columbus, OH chapter of the College Tennis Alumni Network hosted its 6th Annual Columbus Invitation tournament.
The event, sponsored by Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse and the Greater Columbus Tennis Association (GCTA), was an incredible day of tennis, camaraderie, and community at the Swim and Racquet Club, bringing together over 70 players, many current or former collegiate athletes, including members of the ITA Columbus Alumni network.


The tournament action included Men’s, Women’s, and Mixed Open events. Congratulations to the champions:
- Alexander Bernard & JJ Tracy (Men’s)
- Dani Schoenly & Lucia Marzal (Women’s)
- Amiya Bowles & Grant McPherson (Mixed)

“We were thrilled to welcome current players from Ohio State, Denison, Xavier, Toledo, and several other local schools. The weather couldn’t have been better, and the day was made even more enjoyable thanks to catering from Chick-fil-A, plenty of cold beers, and more than a few great stories from on and off the court.”
