SLAM HISTORY
Farmers Classic, Los Angeles
The event was founded in 1927, 97 years ago, as the Pacific Southwest Tournament, and for decades it was played as a cozy, old-school tournament at the L.A. Tennis Club. In 1984 it moved to its intimate venue, the Los Angeles Tennis Center. In the 2000s, the event suffered significant economic consequences of such cataclysmic events as the 9/11 attacks and the economic downturn that began in 2008. It was hurt by the emergence of tennis at the Olympics. As a result, there was the last edition of the legendary tournament in 2012.
