Opened in 1991 at a cost of $5.3 million, the Atkins Tennis Center is home to both men and women's tennis at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.[1] The tennis center features six indoor courts and twenty outdoor courts.[2] Additionally, the complex has a pro shop and court times for general public use. It also hosts elite junior tournaments and one of the longest running professional tournaments on the USTA Pro Circuit: the JSM Challenger. The facility includes the Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex.
2013
The 2013 NCAA Division I Women's and Men's Tennis Championships was hosted by the Atkins Tennis Center. This was the first time since 2005 (when there was a combined men and women's championship) that a Midwest school hosted the NCAA Tournament.[3]
