Returning this month for its 42nd net-slammingly exciting year, the Legg Mason Tennis Classic will feature some of the world's most elite players -- Andy Roddick! Gael Monfils! Mardy Fish! -- plus a panoply of award-winning chefs, silver-tongued ESPN commentators, and a Corona-themed beach house featuring Corona Girls and, of course, beer. Below, the top five must-see sights and activities at the tourney. For complete info, go to leggmasontennisclassic.com.
1. Top Players and Rising Stars
As one of the premier hard-court tournaments leading to the US Open, the Classic features not only some of tennis's brightest lights -- hard-hitting heartthrob Andy Roddick (10), hard-court maestro Mardy Fish (8), Defending Champion David Nalbandian, James Blake -- but also some of the sport's rising stars, e.g., Japan’s Kei Nishikori, Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov, and more.
2. The Corona Beach House
From watching balls go back and forth, to even more watching balls go back and forth, being a pro tennis spectator is hard work. Cool off at the Corona Beach House, where your hosts are serving up everything from food to ice-cold Corona beer. Un distracción mas fina.
3. ESPN2 Game Desk
You're not the only one watching the matches. ESPN's commentators will be on hand offering insights and analysis for the quarterfinals and semifinals.
4. Wine Tastings, Chef Challenges, Military Appreciation Day and More
The Classic offers more than tennis, too. Entertainment options range from Robert Mondavi Wine Tasting (includes flights presented by sommeliers, plus a reserved seat ticket), to the Chef Challenge (local DC chefs competing to create the best Puerto Rican dishes), to Military Appreciation Day, for which all active duty personnel receive complimentary tickets, to Corona Alumni Night, to National Parks Recreation Family Day and more.
5. The Super Session
Split into two days in previous years, the 2011 Super Session on Friday August 5th includes six matches throughout the day with all matches on Stadium Court broadcast live on ESPN2 and Tennis Channel. Get your tickets now and watch them all!
