San Diego, California · July 31 – August 2, 2026
The weekend you've been waiting for since graduation.

The Story
You played D1. Maybe you went pro. Now you're out here wondering why competitive tennis stopped feeling like it used to. The Washed Up Cup is your answer.
An annual weekend in San Diego built exclusively for former college and pro players who still love competing — but never want to see a ranking point again. Those who grinded twice a day, travelled the world competing, and gave everything to the game.
We may be washed up, but our level is still exceptional. Think the intensity of college tennis with the wisdom of people who've graduated from needing to prove anything.
I'm InHow It Works
Six teams, each with four men and four women. Balanced by organizers to guarantee competitive matches. A team captain handles doubles pairings — just like college.
Every team plays all five others. Three matches Saturday, two Sunday morning. Each tie is three doubles rubbers — men's, women's, and mixed — best of three sets.
Top teams meet Sunday afternoon for the championship. Pro-AM over lunch. Trophy presentation. The moment you'll be talking about for years.

The Social Event
A 4-hour sunset sail around San Diego Bay.
Saturday evening, players and guests dress up and board a private yacht for a 4-hour sunset cruise. Tacos, open bar, golden hour views of the bay, and the kind of energy that makes for unforgettable memories — and even better content.
