The tournament is made possible by the sponsorship of Tom Albers and Total Asset Planning along with a planning committee, which includes Albers (Managing Partner of Total Asset Planning), Marty Wolf (Owner of Midwest Sports Tennis Outlet), Jim Brockhoff (Head Men's and Women's Tennis Coach), Eric Toth (Assistant Men's and Women's Tennis Coach), and Mark Gazdik (Assistant Director of Marketing for Xavier).

Brockhoff recently completed his 45th season as the head coach of the men's team and is the only coach in the 34-year history of XU's women's program. Brockhoff is well respected in all circles of the Cincinnati tennis community, which stems partly from his lengthy involvement with the ATP tournament where he first served as a ball boy in the 1940s.
