This October, Edmond will once again welcome an exciting lineup of rising tennis talent from around the globe as the W100 OK Pro Circuit returns to Edmond Center Court. Running October 12–18, the event brings elite women's professional tennis to Oklahoma—an opportunity that was almost unimaginable in the state just a few years ago.

For fans, the W100 offers the chance to watch athletes competing for high-level ranking points and major professional milestones. These are players pushing toward the top of the sport, many of whom are already appearing in Grand Slam qualifying draws, international tournaments, and other professional events. Seeing them compete in Edmond gives visitors a rare close-up look at future stars before their names become familiar on the world stage.

 

A Growing Tennis Destination

Edmond Center Court has steadily become a key stop on the professional tennis map. After hosting a smaller $15,000 event in 2023, the facility continued to grow its offerings, adding higher-level tournaments and building strong partnerships within the tennis world. Today, the center is recognized as a USTA Premier Facility, and hosting a W100 event marks a significant milestone both for Edmond and for tennis development in Oklahoma.

The W100 tournament carries $100,000 in prize money and a valuable haul of WTA ranking points, providing crucial momentum for athletes working to climb into main-draw entries at larger tournaments. A win here can be a turning point in a player’s journey, and to see that process unfold in Edmond is something special.

Edmond has already watched players pass through the city and go on to remarkable achievements. Several past competitors have risen into the top 20 in the world, and others have earned titles on major stages. One example is Australian standout Olivia Gadecki, who played in Edmond in 2025 before capturing two Australian Open mixed doubles championships. These stories underline how meaningful this event can be—for both the athletes and the fans who get to watch their early rise.

 

Understanding the W100 Level

The W100 sits just below the WTA Tour in the professional tennis structure. It’s part of the ITF World Tennis Tour, acting as a bridge between lower‑level professional events and the large tournaments seen on television. The ranking points awarded at a W100 can determine whether a player enters big events directly or must battle through qualifying rounds. For many athletes, Edmond represents an important stepping stone toward the highest levels of professional tennis.

 

More Than Tennis: A Week of Community Events

The excitement begins even before the W100 gets underway. On October 3, Edmond Center Court will host the OK Pro Series Invitational, a fast-paced $25,000 exhibition featuring both men and women. Using a team-oriented format modeled after World Team Tennis, the event offers fans a lively, unique experience and helps kick off the professional tennis season for Edmond and Norman.

Throughout W100 tournament week, junior players, adults, and recreational fans will have opportunities to participate in clinics, community programs, and interactive experiences. One of the main goals of hosting professional tennis in Edmond is not just showcasing top athletes, but also inspiring local players by letting them see world-class tennis up close.

 

A True Community Effort

Bringing a W100 to Edmond requires an enormous effort behind the scenes—from organizing match schedules and coordinating officials to managing transportation, hospitality, player services, volunteers, and event logistics. Community support has played a major role in making this tournament possible. Last year, more than 300 volunteers helped bring the event to life, demonstrating how deeply Edmond has embraced professional tennis.

For visitors, the W100 offers both world-class competition and a welcoming atmosphere. The experience feels close, approachable, and community-driven—making it ideal for families, tennis fans, and anyone curious to watch future stars before they break onto the global scene.

With the W100 returning to Edmond, local fans and visitors have a rare chance to watch high-level professional tennis right in the heart of Oklahoma. The weeklong event showcases the incredible growth of tennis in the state and highlights Edmond Center Court’s commitment to becoming a premier tennis destination.
