| The staging of the Stanford Championships at SMU adds to the university’s storied history of tennis. In addition to having one of the most noted college programs in the country, the university’s Moody Coliseum hosted one of the premier events in tennis at the time, the WCT Finals, from 1972 to 1979. The 1972 WCT Final between Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall, played at the Moody Coliseum, is regarded by many as one of the greatest tennis matches of all-time - Rosewall beating Laver 4-6, 6-0, 6-3, 6-7, 7-6 in a nationally-televised epic.
