Atlantic Avenue Grand Slam With McEnroe 2011

(Delray Beach, Florida)

Two legendary tennis champions (John McEnroe and Mats Wilander) will be the performing stars as a portion of Atlantic Avenue will be closed on Friday, February 18, 2011 at 5:30 PM.

John McEnroe and Mats Wilander will have a Grand Slam “grude match” while spectators will be able to watch this free event.

Mayor Woodie McDuffie will be the umpire as part of the STAY AND PLAY DELRAY initiative whose goal is to showcase the many restaurants, boutiques and art galleries in Delray Beach.

Sponsored by the Delray Beach Community Re-Development Agency (CRA), the first impromptu tennis match in February 2010 turned into an overnight sensation when John McEnroe and fellow ATP Champions Tour participant Ronald Agenor had their Grand Slam “grude match.”

Tennis on Atlantic Avenue has now become an annual fun-filled event for the participants and spectators.
