Blue Gray Tennis Tournament

10/04/2026

What an incredible weekend! 🎾💙

Blue Gray is so much more than a tennis tournament. It’s a tradition that has been passed down through generations, shaped by the host families who welcome players into their homes, the volunteers and community who show up year after year, and the relationships that make this weekend mean so much more than what happens on the court.

For the players, Blue Gray is an experience unlike any other. They leave Montgomery with memories, friendships and stories that stay with them long after the final match is played. That’s what makes this tournament so special.

We have SO many fun moments to share from the weekend, but first, we have to celebrate our 2026 champions! 🏆

Congratulations to Columbia, our Men’s Division Champions, and Ole Miss, our Women’s Division Champions!

What a weekend. What a tradition. 💙🎾
