Pro Play
Most tennis fans dream of meeting and playing with one pro, imagine three! On Mar. 23, The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne and Cliff Drysdale Tennis Center will reaffirm themselves as the premier tennis destination by presenting The Ultimate All-Star Tennis Experience on the eve of the Sony Ericsson Open with Andy Roddick, Kim Clijsters and Guillermo Canas. This is not your average Pro Am or player meet-and-greet, the event is truly a rarity, as locals and guests will have an opportunity to rally with the pros, play side-by-side in a doubles tournament and witness a playful battle of the sexes. Player entry fees are well-priced at just $175 per person, which includes a two-hour round robin tournament, the chance to qualify for the “Return on Roddick” or “Clijsters Challenge,” plus 3 spectator passes and access to the champagne reception. For more information or to reserve a player or spectator slot, contact Mark Chellas at 305.365.4300 or email him at [email protected].
