A two-week combined event in the heart of Miami's Key Biscayne islands,
the SONY ERICSSON OPEN is one of nine ATP Masters 1000 Series events and
a Premier Mandatory tennis competition on the men's and women's WTA
calendar. Bringing the world's top players to South Florida, the 2011
matches featured breathtaking play by Novak Djokovic who defeated Rafael
Nadal for his second Sony Ericsson title and Victoria Azarenka also
brought home her second win as she defeated Maria Sharapova in the
finals.
One of the most glamorous American tennis tournaments, the Sony Ericsson
Open attracts some of the biggest celebrities in music, movies and
sports to the stands. Attendance records are set each year with more
than 300,000 locals and tourists crowding Crandon Park for the 2 week
run. Be sure to bring along a camera and expect to see LeBron James,
Dwyane Wade and a Kardashian or two milling around in the crowd. Of
course the most important action is courtside where Roger Federer, Andy
Roddick, Andy Murray and the Williams sisters labor to win the gold in
every high profile match!
If you plan to attend Miami's most important tennis competition, log
onto the official website ASAP as ticket packages for this dynamic
tournament go on sale in late summer. Starting around $100, the packages
sell out fast. Participating hotels on the official website also offer
guests $12 a day shuttle service to the gates of the Sony Ericsson Open
which makes it easy to avoid the hassles of bumper-to-bumper traffic and
finding parking on match day. Drivers must pay to park offsite about 3.5
miles from the Rickenbacker tollbooth and then take a free shuttle to
the front gate. Stadium seats are outdoors and offer little protection
from the Florida sun so be sure to bring along water, sunscreen and
dress for the weather.
