THE ACE OF HEARTS TENNIS TOUR
The Ace of Hearts Tennis Tour – Grand Rapids, Michigan - February 13, 2007 - 6:30PM
Tennis exhibition at the Van Andel Arena
Four of the most recognizable superstars in modern tennis came together for one Legendary Night of competition and entertainment. John McEnroe along with fellow champions Jim Courier, Anna Kournikova and Jana Novotna headlined the evening's competition. The event was held at the Van Andel Arena, “the $75 million crown jewel of Michigan's second largest and fastest-growing market.”
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS:
Seven-time Grand Slam singles champion John McEnroe matched up against four-time Grand Slam singles champion Jim Courier. Courier is currently ranked #1 on the Outback Champions Series and McEnroe is ranked #2 …so the competition was needless to say intense between these two hall of fame tennis rivals.
Mixed doubles – featured two-time Grand Slam doubles champion Anna Kournikova who paired up with Courier. They took on Wimbledon singles champion Jana Novotna, who was paired with McEnroe. The players were mic'd so the crowd heard exactly what they were saying to themselves - and each other - in the heat of the battle.
Corporate sponsors and VIP guests enjoyed private tennis clinics with the participating legends as well as a reception to meet the stars. For corporate sponsorship opportunities contact Debra Mitan by phone at (646) 367-2770 or djm@insideoutlive.com.
