World class tennis takes place in Delray Beach this weekend at the International Tennis Championship finals. The semi-finals start Friday, February 15 and culminate in the finals on Sunday the 17th at the Delray Beach city tennis courts on Atlantic Avenue and Swinton.

Players in the singles semi-finals include number 5 ranked James Blake, Vince Spadea, Sam Querrey, Robby Ginepri and local Mardy Fish. In addition, to the singles there are doubles matches with such players as the crowd pleasing Bryan brothers.

I attended the Thursday, February 14th day matches and caught some great tennis, watching American's Fish and Ginipri prevail. The tennis level is amazing, the event is well organized and it is enjoyable to try and second guess the line judges.

There are bands performing, food stands and even a temporary restaurant run by Bova's, making this a fun place to spend some time over the weekend. With the predicted good weather this is an ideal place to be.
