The Cincinnati City Open Championship was renamed the Hertzel Cup in honor of Rob Hertzel in January 2012. Robby was a long time friend and supporter of Cincinnati paddle community. Winning this Championship twice and chairing the tournament for a number of years, his passion for paddle, horses, golf and life was only surpassed by his love for his family. Robby was diagnosed with cancer on February 15, 2010, the Monday after the 2010 GCPTA Championship and played in the Championship even though challenged by the disease. It is our goal to honor Robby’s memory and courage by promoting the Hertzel Cup and cultivating its rich history and tradition in the future.

One of Rob Hertzel’s dreams was to develop and provide "Chemo Bags" for cancer patients when they begin their chemotherapy treatments. Robby’s vision has been realized through a Non-Profit Organization called CHEMO UNITY. “Chemo Bags” are filled with items that help bring some comfort to a patient enduring their treatments.
We are grateful for the continued support and generosity of our sponsors.
