Week one of the Sony Ericsson Open didn't disappoint. With 3 sessions breaking attendance records and 8 sessions sold out, the tennis matches have been off the charts. Venus Williams continues to shock our crowds with her tenacity and love for lengthy matches (2 three setters thus far) have advanced her to the "sweet" (round of) 16. The American men are making waves quite easily with Andy Roddick and Mardy Fish breezing into week 2 (Rod plays Rog tonight). Along with fab tennis, the players have enjoyed local Miami excursions including swimming with dolphins at the Sea Aquarium, stand up paddle boarding in the Crandon Marina, and an MMA staged fight with Rashad Evans. Plus let's not forget the epic EPIC Hotel player's party rocked out with DJ Bob Sinclar.
Fans have enjoyed much entertainment onsite as well. From the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders performing to sipping champagne & sushi to numerous autograph signings to rad sponsor giveaways. Event the kiddies have indulged with participation in Lindt's Kids' Day.
Proving once again to the be the place to be, celebs from all facets are out n' about showing their support for their fave players. Kelly Rowland, Boyd Tinsley, Rory McIroy, Anthony Mackie, and too many professional athletes to list have rallied & cheered on their friends. No barefoot Owen Wilson yet but I'm not giving up yet.
If you've missed the fun, its not too late! We still have 6 more glorious days of fun in the sun. Filled with activities, food & drink, and of course, world class tennis. See you on the court in Key Biscayne.
