The Western & Southern Open, an international tennis tournament, may relocate to Charlotte but its current host city isn’t backing down from the competition.
The Cincinnati and Charlotte areas are putting up millions to win over the tournament’s owner, Beemok Capital. The tournament will generate an estimated $300 million for the host city's local economy each year once it expands to a two-week-long event.
The Western and Southern Open has been right outside of Cincinnati in Mason, Ohio for more than 100 years.
