New World-Class Tennis Tournament Coming to Carlsbad

The Carlsbad Classic Tennis Tournament, a WTA 125k Series Event, will be held at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad, November 21-29, 2015.

The Carlsbad Classic will feature top-ranked WTA players as well as new rising stars to include a 32-player singles main draw, an eight-player qualifying draw and an eight-team doubles draw.

The Carlsbad Classic is the first WTA tournament ever held during the week of Thanksgiving. It will also be the first WTA tournament ever held after the U.S. Open in the United States.

American-Idol finalist Kimberly Caldwell will host the Carlsbad Classic for all day and night sessions. Caldwell will also be the featured entertainment for the Players Gala held Sunday, November 22. The Players Gala will feature a silent auction to benefit Operation Underground Railroad.

”We are excited to be directing this new event in the beautiful city of Carlsbad,” said Ben Goldsmith, Carlsbad Classic Tournament Director.

“We expect to bring top WTA players back to Carlsbad as well as new rising talent. We look forward to hosting the first ever WTA during Thanksgiving and throwing a fantastic event for the whole family to enjoy.”
