Delray Beach Open February 19, 2015 Sponsored by The Venetian Fun!


Went down to the Delray Open Sponsored by The Venetian at The Delray Tennis Center in Delray Beach, FL. The Tournament is a week long Runs from February 13-18th which is a Sunday. Prize money of $500,000. Singles winner Marin Cilic Beat Kevin Anderson last year. The winner of the tourney earned approximately $85,000 and runner up $44,500.00 for singles. On the Doubles side the winners earned will be approximately 28,000.00. This is a combined event of The ATP CHAMPIONS TOUR which consists of past tennis greats (This event has already been played and the results are Team USA 3 | Team INT’L 6), and An ATP WORLD TOUR EVENT which consists of present tennis greats.

The ATP WORLD TOUR EVENT consists of many in the top 20 in the world and is being played presently. KEVIN ANDERSON (RSA) is the No. 1 seed. He is ranked 15 in the world and is from South Africa. Ought to be fun to see who comes out on top in Singles. Yen-Hsun Lu of Taipei 7-6 (6), 6-3 beat him last night and marks the first time since 2006 that the top 2 seeds are out of the running. There are many Americans' vying in this tourney and encourage any local readers to attend. http://www.yellowtennisball.com/ will give you the schedule, price of tickets and field playing this week. Very Exciting....

The Bryan Brothers (USA) defeated the duo of Dustin Brown (Dusty (Ger)) and Adrian Mannarino (Fr) in straight sets 6-3, 7-5 in their first round match Wednesday.













Was there yesterday and the challengers looked good. The Bryan Brothers who have won over 11 million in their career had to struggle in Center Stadium in Delray Beach Tennis Center in Delray Beach, FL to win even though they beat them in straight sets. Bob Bryan hit an amazing trick shot at the net. A half volley behind the back that was slammed at him near the net.  Here is the link: http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2015/02/7/Delray-Beach-Wednesday-Bryans-Hot-Shot.aspx#ooid=BzYXRnczqFX6mlBPDaEtB3B9ze2S3kKF  . One of the most amazing shots of the year. Watch this! They are favored in Doubles but will have a tough time with the ever tough team of Raven Klaasen (RSA) / Leander Paes (IND). But as I wrote earlier in this article it is anyone's tournament.
