Hi there,
Match competition is center-stage at the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne, of course, but there's a lot of competition for spectator attentions inside and outside Crandon Park. From fashion shows and autograph signings to player appearances at parties and hospitals, the tournament really has become part of the Miami scene. See highlights below.
With all the entertainment value the tournament delivers, it's no wonder they've already broken previous attendance records. Yesterday's day session sold out with 15,154 attendees, marking the eighth session sell-out this year, and the tournament doesn't end 'til Sunday.
Great weather may have something to do with it as there's been only two rain delays and no rain-outs, but the festival-like atmosphere is a strong pull in itself.
While the on-court matches are the focus, the buzz around the extra-curriculars gives the players, the tournament and the sport fantastic visibility to locals. TV coverage by CBS, Fox Sports Network and Tennis Channel deliver exposure to the masses.

The pro tours, players and tournament organizers are very savvy about leveraging star power to gain exposure. Not only does it boost media coverage, promotes goodwill, and increases the cache of the players and the sport. Here are key highlights from the Sony Ericsson Open:
- James Blake hit two home runs to left field when he and Sam Querrey visited the Florida Marlins to take swings of a different kind.
- Celebrities spotted courtside include actor Owen Wilson, rapper Common, racer Christian Fittipaldi, and musician Boyd Tinsley.

This time the American team is packing a triple-threat...

| Loehr shares secrets to motivating players |
|
|
From TheBuzz.HelloTennis!com
If you work with competitive juniors and think praising them on great results will make them work harder or smarter--think again! It's not their brains and talent that breed success, but their ability to focus and invest effort toward a goal.
If a player believes talent will carry him to the finals, chances are he'll let destiny take over and not work as hard as he could. Eventually that win streak will flame out.
That was the message from Dr. Jim Loehr to teaching pros and coaches at the PTR World Conference in Hilton Head, S.C., in February. It was based on groundbreaking research...
