Ready, Set, Serve

Style Strut
Fashionistas, listen up! The largest Latin American and International fashion event in the U.S. is just a few weeks away. The 11th Annual Miami Fashion Week will feature designers from all over the world, as they present their jaw-dropping collections in select locations in Midtown Miami and South Florida’s Wynwood District from Mar. 18-21. For a lineup of all of the events, to purchase tickets, or for more information, visit MiamiFashionWeek.com.

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].
