BRADLEY KLAHN AND RYAN THACHER OF STANFORD UNIVERSITY TO DEFEND TITLE AT PACIFIC COAST MEN’S DOUBLES CHAMPIONSHIPS
La Jolla, Calif. – (February 29, 2012) – The Stanford University duo of Bradley Klahn, a Poway, Calif. resident, and Ryan Thacher of Studio City, Calif. will return to the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club to defend their title at the 123rd Annual Pacific Coast Men’s Doubles Tennis Championships.
The prestigious doubles-only event, which features a unique tournament format, will take place from Thursday, March 1 through Sunday, March 4.
Klahn and Thacher won the title last year when they defeated Remi Boutillier and Rikus de Villiers of Fresno State University, 6-1, 6-2 in the final. In 2010, Klahn and Thacher finished as the runner-up as they fell in the final to Robert Farah and Steve Johnson of the University of Southern California, 6-3, 6-2.
In this year’s tournament, Klahn and Thacher received a first-round bye and will face the winner of the first-round match between Ryan Peyton and Michael Rosengren of Villanova University and Robert Ankner and Christian McKean of Boston College in their opening match.
The Pacific Coast Men’s Doubles Tennis Championships offers players and spectators one of the most interesting and unique competitor fields in the country according to Bill Kellogg, tournament director and President of the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club.
“This event is not only a showcase for some of the best collegiate players in the nation, but also for a strong field of independent players such as top teaching pros, promising juniors, college coaches and even former tour players,” Kellogg said.
Among the NCAA Men’s college teams that have entered the 123rd Annual Pacific Coast Men’s Doubles Tennis Championships are Pepperdine University, Stanford University, UCLA, USC, U C Berkeley, Rice University, Boston College, Villanova University, College of William and Mary, Loyola Marymount University, Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges, and Fresno State University, plus local teams from San Diego State University, University of San Diego and University of California, San Diego.
“With the combination of top collegiate players and experienced independent players, the level of competition is going to very high from the first round all through the tournament finals,” Kellogg said.
Spectator admission to the 123rd Annual Pacific Coast Men’s Doubles Tennis Championships is free and open to the public. On-site parking is available for a nominal fee.
