The Orlando Professional Championships also known WCT Orlando Pro Championships was a men's professional tennis tournament founded in 1942.
[1] The Orlando Professional Championships was a men's and women's tennis tournament sanctioned by the Professional Lawn Tennis Association,[2] and first held from 24 January to 2 February 1942,[1] and was played on outdoor clay courts of the Orlando Tennis Club in Orlando, Florida, United States.
The 1968 edition was part of the WCT Circuit that year and branded as the WCT Orlando Pro Championships,[3] and was held at the Orlando Sports Stadium and played on indoor astroturf courts.
