As a fantabulous beachfront community in the United States, the charismatic City of Delray Beach is affectionately known as the “Village by the Sea”. Its two miles of beachfront have been called one of the best beaches in the U.S., attracting beach-goers to its stunning Atlantic coastline. Delray Beach was recently voted a “Top-10 Best Tennis Town” by the USTA.

The 8,200-seat Delray Beach Tennis Stadium & Tennis Center has hosted the International Tennis Championships’ ATP World Tour event for more than a decade, boasting past champions and noteworthy contenders including Del Potro, Roddick, Agassi, Hewitt, Blake, Isner, Tipsarevic, Baghdatis, the Bryan Brothers, Haas, Fish, Nishikori and more. In 2011 the event expanded by hosting the world’s only 10-day ATP 'Super Event' featuring tennis legends past and present from both the ATP World Tour and ATP Champions Tour. The 2012 opening night, will kick off with an electrifying match between tennis greats Pat Cash and Carlos Moya at 7:00pm. At 9:00pm the featured match will be Ivan Lendl against Jimmy Arias. Lendl has made an impressive return to the sport after joining the ATP Champions Tour and coaching Andy Murray to the Australian Open semifinals.

During the ten days of animated action on-court and revelry throughout the grounds, the Delray Beach ITC hosts more than 20 parties on-site and concerts on the tournament’s Main Stage making it one of the most vibrant and culturally rich events in tennis. The ITC also proudly boasts the “VolleyGirls”, a team of spokeswomen for the tournament, spreading cheer to all who visit.
