The Western & Southern Open takes many hours of work and service to be so successful! It is no easy task, but thanks to the hundreds of volunteers and interns who join the team each year, it continues to grow as one of the world’s premier tennis events! All of the world's best will compete in a combined event, which promises another great year of tennis.

The hours of volunteer service are not only helping the tournament, but also help raise money for charity - Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, The Barrett Cancer Center  and Tennis for City Youth. Click the links below for information on becoming a Ballperson, Volunteering and Intern Opportunities.
