Cobram Lawn Tennis Club vice-president Matthew Ross-Soden said it will be a great chance for the community to come and watch the action.
“100 years is a fantastic milestone for our small club and something we’re extremely proud of,” he said.
“There’s going to be plenty of great tennis to watch over the three days.
“We have 386 people entered, up 60-odd from previous years.”
The tournament has featured players who went on to achieve fame in the sport, including former World No. 4 professional tennis player and coach Pat Cash, who won the tournament in 1982.
Sam Dowler will return to defend his eight tournament titles.
The free event will run from Saturday, March 8, to the Labour Day holiday on Monday, March 10. Guests will have a variety of food and drink options to choose from, with the club running its canteen and barbecue.
Matches kick off at 7.45am and end around 7pm each day.
The tournament draw will be available at the club’s noticeboard by Thursday, March 6, or via tournaments.tennis.com.au/
The event is supported by many Melbourne-based clubs, including Frankston’s Bruce Park Tennis Club, which is fielding at least 50 players this year.
