INDIANAPOLIS?The 2007 Indianapolis Tennis Championships announced today that daily tickets are now on sale. The Championships, formerly known as the RCA Championships, is looking to expand on last year?s success in box office sales. The event will be held July 21-29 at the Indianapolis Tennis Center on the campus of IUPUI.
The 2007 Championships, having already secured Andy Roddick, No. 3 on the ATP Rankings, continues to recruit the top players in the world. ?Andy?s commitment provides the Indianapolis Tennis Championships with one of the top drawing players on the ATP Tour,? said Indianapolis Tennis Championships Tournament Director Kevin Martin. ?At the same time we are working very hard to bring the other top Americans and International tennis players to Indianapolis.?
The 2006 RCA Championships achieved a tournament record in onsite box office sales. This was attributed largely to Andy Roddick playing both singles and doubles, giving fans nine opportunities to see the popular American. The 2006 player field featured Roddick and James Blake, the top 2 Americans, advancing to the finals with Blake defeating Roddick in a high quality final 4-6, 6-4, 7-6(5). The 2006 final not only entertained the fans on-site but had the highest viewership of all the US Open Series finals and was voted the best final of the US Open Series by Tennis Magazine.
