Tennis tournament / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tennis South Invitational, was a men's tennis tournament founded in 1973 as the Mississippi International Indoor Tennis Championships. It was played at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson, Mississippi in the United States until 1977. The event was played as part of the USLTA Indoor Circuit from 1973 through 1975[1] and became a World Championship Tennis event in 1976. In its final year, 1977, it was an independent event, i.e. not part of a tennis tour or circuit.[2] The tournament was played on indoor carpet courts. Ken Rosewall was the only multiple singles champion, winning the title in 1975 and 1976.
