The Delray Beach International Tennis Championships (ITC) is the only ATP tournament in the world featuring an ATP Champions Tour event and an ATP World Tour event in the same week.

The Delray Beach International Tennis Championships is scheduled for February 20-28, 2010 at the Delray Beach Stadium & Tennis Center in Delray Beach, Florida.

The ITC annually attracts the best tennis players in the world and thousands of visitors to Delray Beach and Palm Beach County.

The Volley Girls are the ambassadors and spokespersons for the event. You will see these little darlings at private parties, PR engagements with players on-air in TV and radio, as well as appearances at all the hot spots in Delray Beach and Palm Beach County.

History was made on Friday February 19, 2010 when two of the greatest-ever tennis champions, John McEnroe and Mats Wilander, played tennis on famous Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach!

Celebrated in 2003 with the ATP Award of Excellence, the privately-owned tournament features one of 11 ATP World Tour Events in the United States and the first-ever ATP Champions Tour event played on US soil.

Total player compensation is $1.3 million for both events.

ATP World Tour: With 63 tournaments in 31 countries, the ATP World Tour showcases the finest male athletes competing in the world’s most exciting venues.

From Australia to Europe and the Americas to Asia, the stars of the ATP World Tour battle for South African Airways ATP Ranking Points at Grand Slams (non ATP members), ATP World Tour Masters 1000, ATP World Tour 500 and ATP World Tour 250 events.

At the end of the season the world’s top 8 ranked men’s singles players and top 8 doubles teams, based on their performance throughout the year, will qualify to compete in the season’s climax - the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.

To be held at London’s O2 arena, the event will officially crown the 2009 ATP World Tour Champion and determine the final South African Airways 2009 ATP Rankings.

ATP Champions Tour: The ATP Champions Tour brings together many of the greatest tennis players in history for nostalgic, competitive and entertaining tournaments in cities all around the world.

There are currently 11 round robin events on 4 continents featuring former ATP World Tour players who fit one of the following criteria:

• formerly ranked No. 1 in the world in singles,
• a Grand Slam singles champion or finalist,
• or a singles player on a winning Davis Cup team.

Players must also be retired from ATP World Tour competition for at least one year and each event can invite two wild card entrants of its choice.

Players receive points throughout the year and a year-end event at the Royal Albert Hall in London crowns the champion.
