Mason’s Original garage door startup!

Celebrating 40 years of Tennis in Mason! So many successful Mason startups began in a garage. ?n this 40th year of tennis at the Lindner Family Tennis Center, we pay tribute to the drive and determination of our startup community and the Western & Southern Open, Mason’s original garage door startup! Moving to an empty plot of land with a strong vision, a shoe string budget and the right partners, in 1979 Paul Flory and his team kicked off what has made Mason a prestigious stop on the international tennis circuit. We’ve been excited to be part of it all as the tournament has grown from 5,000 attendees to over 200,000. Congratulations to all of those tournament (and startup) builders on the team through the years. You’re an inspiration and positive fhee\that dreams can happen here.
