Warm Weather, Hot Tennis
When you think of Grand Cayman you think of warm weather and sunshine. That’s what spectators got today at the Residences at the Ritz Carlton. The sun was shining and the tennis fans came out to enjoy a beautiful day at The Courts.
Today the Legends Championships served up yet another hot day of tennis. The day kicked off with two kids clinics. One for those 8 and under with myself, Wayne Ferreira and Paul Haarhuis. Then one for those over 8 with myself, Jim Courier and Mikael Pernfors. As with the previous clinics hosted here in Grand Cayman, the players really took an interst in the participants and while there was a good number of kids in each session, I think everyone got something out of it. Both groups were fantastic!!
Those that were fortunate enough to have tickets to today’s sold out matches got to witness Jimmy Arias face off against Mats Wilander and then Jim Courier battle John McEnroe. Unfortunately Mats had to retire in the second set with an injury. Jimmy will now face Paul Haarhuis in the 3rd place match tomorrow. The championship match-up was determined with the ever competitive match between Jim and John that went to a third set tie break. Jim prevailed and will go up against Wayne Ferreira for the title.
If you are headed out to the tennis tomorrow be sure to bring your sunscreen and drink plenty of water.
