 The Delray Beach Internationnal Tennis Championship
Delray Beach, Florida
One of the best pro tennis events in Florida just got better! The 2011 event will feature the fastest server on the planet AND some of the best players ever!
The 19th annual Delray Beach ITC will be held Feb. 18-27 at the Delray Beach Stadium & Tennis Center and will include both the ATP World Tour event and the 2nd annual ATP Champions Tour event featuring John McEnroe.
The Delray Beach ITC features a great crop of current pro tennis stars including three of the top four ranked American singles players.
Former Boca Raton resident and 2003 US Open champion Andy Roddick is coming back to the tournament where he made his pro debut at age 17. "I am excited to return to Delray Beach," said the 28-year old Roddick. "I received my first wild card as a professional tennis player in Delray so the tournament certainly has a special significance in my career."
Roddick is also a three-time Wimbledon runner-up, a 2006 US Open finalist, and has won 29 ATP titles in 10 years as a pro. His 41 US Davis Cup singles wins ranks second all-time behind McEnroe. He holds the record for the fastest serve ever recorded - 155 mph.
Roddick joins 2009 ITC singles champion Mardy Fish and Wimbledon record-setting John Isner.
The ATP Champion's Tour features some of the best players in the history of tennis including seven time Grand Slam singles champion John McEnroe, seven time Grand Slam singles champion Mats Wilander, and Wimbledon champion Pat Cash.
Other ATP Champion's Tour players include 2009 US Open champ Juan Martin Del Potro, Wimbledon and US Open runner-up Mark Philippoussis, and US Open and Australian Open semifinalist Aaron Krickstein.
