I think the old Boca Raton tournament always produced great tennis and enthusiastic fans. There were some classic Graf-Sabatini clashes there with some of Gaby's finest results.
Which tournament do you miss the most?MLF Mar 10th, 2002, 10:20 AM I think the old Boca Raton tournament always produced great tennis and enthusiastic fans. There were some classic Graf-Sabatini clashes there with some of Gaby's finest results. irma Mar 10th, 2002, 10:44 AM The masters in New York, it just wasn`t same on tv last year! Zamboni Mar 10th, 2002, 10:46 AM I agree with irma, the masters in new york were much better :) MLF Mar 10th, 2002, 11:08 AM I agree you couldn't be a good night in The Garden. The Munich event just lacked enthusiasm from the fans. Sam L Mar 10th, 2002, 11:17 AM I would have to agree I do miss the Boca Raton tournament a lot. It was called the Virginia Slims of Florida right? I also miss: - Essen (The Nokia Grand Prix): In the days when Monika used to play in Germany. - Wesley Chapel (The Light N Lively championships): I was just going to start a thread on this actually, whatever happened to that tournament? I remember it was a "doubles" only tournament - Houston (The virginia slims of Houston): this was part of the green clay series. What happened to this tournament too? :( - Philadelphia: Althought it wasn't that long ago, I do miss it, I think that Philadelphia, Chase Champ back-to-back at the end of the year was really nice. - Rhode Island (Hall of Fame tennis?): I'm not too sure about the name but I knew it was the only grass tournament post Wimbledon and Zina Garrison won it a few times I think. It was gone by the early 90's I think. Someone tell me what happened to it, please. MLF Mar 10th, 2002, 11:30 AM Houston was good for me too as a Seles fan. It has special memories for her. I miss the Eckerd Openn too as those 4 weeks of US clay tournaments usually produced some good tennis. irma Mar 10th, 2002, 11:38 AM boca raton/delray beach was nice too, I know it was skipped in 96 because indians wells became a 10 days tier 1 tournament but I liked it and Steffi owned it in the end :cool: San Antonio was great too :cool: cullen Mar 10th, 2002, 12:33 PM Hannover.:) spiceboy Mar 10th, 2002, 01:09 PM Barcelona :sad: I used to be a ballboy there and saw Monica, Martina, Arantxa... selesfan Mar 10th, 2002, 01:55 PM The Chase Championships in New York and our very own Philadelphia tournament in which I was a volunteer every year.:sad: VSFan1 aka Joshua L.
