In recent years, Grand Cayman island has established a reputation as a premier vacation destination. With sparkling Caribbean waters, stunning beaches and friendly Caymanian hospitality, the island offers vacationers and residents a beautiful slice of paradise. Moreover, this tropical island, which is home to The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman and its world-class hotel and residences, also offers the very best of luxury living and vacationing. Now, with The Residences at the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman set to host a new Outback Champions Series tennis tournament in April, this Caribbean island is also becoming a leading tennis destination.
Since its launch in 2005 by InsideOut Sports & Entertainment, the Outback Champions Series has been steadily building a solid reputation as an excellent tennis circuit featuring a high level competition from tennis greats around the world. Designed for players over the age of 30, this series allows world-class players to continue to enjoy the competitive spirit of tennis tournaments. To be eligible, competitors must have achieved a top five world ranking, reached a grand slam singles final or played singles on a championship Davis Cup team. As a result of these eligibility requirements, the Outback Champions Series features high calibre competitors and outstanding tennis.
Of course, it only makes sense that such an exceptional event should take place at an equally impressive venue. This is why the Outback Champions Series and The Residences at the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman make an ideal match. As the owner and developer of The Residences and primary sponsor of the Legends Championships, Michael Ryan believes that hosting this marquee tennis event will be another large step forward for Grand Cayman on its path to becoming the premier tennis destination of the Caribbean.
The Residences at the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman will provide the perfect backdrop for the Legends Championships with full service, luxurious accommodations and an array of world-class amenities and facilities. Scheduled for April 16-20, 2008, the tournament will be played on a clay surface and provide a great experience for both players and spectators alike with the resort's intimate stadium setting.
Four outstanding players have already committed to the event, including John McEnroe, a former World No. 1 professional tennis player and winner of seven Grand Slam singles titles; Jim Courier, a two-time French and Australian Open champion; and Wayne Ferreira, a bronze medalist at the 1992 Olympics. Jimmy Arias has also committed to participating in the Grand Cayman tournament.
Now that this series is teaming up with the world-class and luxurious Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, the results are bound to be extraordinary. Moreover, by playing host to such a high calibre tournament, The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman has solidified its commitment to expand its portfolio of events and make Grand Cayman the hottest tennis destination in the Caribbean.
