2006 AVP Nissan Series Cincinnati Open

Information on second annual event coming soon

Important announcements, information, dates, sponsorship opportunities and other key items for the 2006 AVP Nissan Series Cincinnati Open will be released in the coming weeks as preparation has begun for the second annual event at Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio.

The 2005 AVP Nissan Series Cincinnati Open proved to be an overwhelming success in its first year of existence at the Lindner Family Tennis Center.  The event had both fans and players alike buzzing with excitement and approval all weekend long.

An estimated 26,000 fans attended the four-day event between June 30-July 3 according to AVP officials with several sessions estimated at about 5,000 each; a sell-out based on seating capacity.

Both championship matches on Saturday, July 2 and Sunday, July 3, were televised live on NBC as the nation witnessed a wild and crazy crowd which was cheering loudly and enthusiastically as they banged their Thunder sticks.

"This has really been exciting,” said Olympic gold medalist Misty May-Treanor of the weekend.  “A lot of the players have never been to Cincinnati and it’s a great new stop (on the Tour).”
