WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – The USTA today announced that Erin Mazurek has been named Tournament Director of the U.S. National Indoor Tennis Championships, to be played February 9-15 at The Racquet Club of Memphis in Memphis, Tenn.
Mazurek previously served as tournament director for the USTA Pro Circuit’s Dow Corning Tennis Classic, a $100,000 women’s event in Midland, Mich., from 2002-09. She has spent the last five years with the Detroit Red Wings and Olympia Entertainment in Detroit, as a director of private event sales, and earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Northwood University, also in Midland, Mich.
The USTA partnered with The Racquet Club of Memphis, which has hosted the U.S. National Indoor Tennis Championships since 1975, to purchase the tournament from San Jose-based Sharks Sports & Entertainment. It will again be an ATP World Tour 250 tournament, with a 32-player singles draw and a 16-team doubles draw.
US Open finalist Kei Nishikori, of Japan, is the two-time defending champion. Nine year-end world No. 1s have also won the event, including John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg, Jimmy Connors, Andre Agassi and Jim Courier.
