Mark your calendars for this summer’s Robinson!
The Robinson is named after a local tennis player, Lt. Francis J. Robinson, a young serviceman who died in a military flight training mission in July 1958. A group of Lt. Robinson’s friends started a small tennis tournament in his honor that same summer. The “Robinson” has drawn between 200-400 participants annually, with players 10 & under to 70 & over and is considered one of the longest running community tennis tournaments in the United States. The Robinson unites players from our local tennis community, surrounding Michigan cities, other states and Canada to come together for a fun-filled week of tennis each summer.
Updates will be shared here and on Facebook as the 2026 Robinson planning gets underway. Share the dates of the Robinson with your friends & family, and get ready for the best week of summer tennis in the Blue Water Area. Thank you!
