From Sunday, November 17 to Sunday, December 1, 2024, the international tennis tournament "Yokohama Keio Challenger International Tennis Tournament 2024 supported by Mita Kosan" (hereafter, Yokohama Keio Challenger) will be held at the Mamushidani Tennis Courts on the Hiyoshi Campus of Keio University. Since the 2023 tournament, 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 13th edition. Professional players from around the world will gather, aiming to climb the world rankings. While there are four ATP Challenger Tour events held in Japan, this is the only one primarily run by students.
Also, following last year's tournament, a women's tournament, an ITF Women's World Tennis Tour event sanctioned by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), will be held again this year. This tournament will also bring together professional players from around the world, particularly promising young athletes, who are aiming to improve their world rankings.
Additionally, numerous events will be held during the tournament period, including the "Tennis Improvement Method for Adults" for adults and the "Tennis School" for kids and juniors.
We kindly request that you list this tournament in your event calendar and provide media coverage.
