POLAR BEAR TOURNAMENT!
Jan 16–18, 2026
Over 500 tennis players across 16 divisions competed at four different sites around the Austin, TX area. The weekend weather brought a bit of everything (except precipitation) freezing temperatures, strong winds, and sunny skies. The final matches were played under beautiful conditions, with clear skies and a perfect 60-degree afternoon to wrap up the event!
A huge thank you to all the players, tournament directors & volunteers for making this event one of the best tournaments in Austin!
