From Sunday, November 19 to Sunday, December 3, 2023, the international tennis tournament "Yokohama Keio Challenger International Tennis Tournament 2023 supported by Mita Kosan" (hereafter, Yokohama Keio Challenger) will be held at the Mamushidani Tennis Courts on the Hiyoshi Campus of Keio University. Starting this year, Mita Kosan Co., Ltd. has become the main sponsor, and the tournament has been renamed.
The men's tournament is a Challenger Tour event sanctioned by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), and this year marks its 12th edition. Professional players from around the world will gather to compete and improve their world rankings. While there are four ATP Challenger Tour events held in Japan, this is the only one primarily run by students.
Following last year's event, this year will also feature a women's tournament as part of the ITF Women's World Tennis Tour, sanctioned by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). This tournament will also bring together professional players from around the world, particularly promising young athletes, who aim to climb the world rankings.
Additionally, during the tournament period, many other events will be held, such as "Tennis Improvement Methods for Adults" and a "Tennis School" for kids and juniors.
We kindly request that you list this tournament in your event calendars and provide media coverage.
