The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman

To Host Grand Cayman Legends Championships April 16-20, 2008

NEW YORK, N.Y., February 20, 2008 – Another tennis legend, Todd Martin, has joined an all-star line-up of tennis pros confirmed to play in the Grand Cayman Legends Championships, a new tournament on the international Outback Champions Series tennis circuit, which features the greatest names in tennis ages 30 and over. The event will be hosted by The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman from April 16-20, 2008, in conjunction with InsideOut Sports & Entertainment.

Martin, along with John McEnroe, Jim Courier, Wayne Ferreira, Jimmy Arias and others to be confirmed in the near future, will play on clay in an intimate stadium setting at The Ritz-Carlton resort. Players will compete for $150,000 in prize money, with an undefeated winner taking home $54,000, as well as Champions Series points that will determine the Stanford Champions Rankings year-end champion on the Outback Champions Series and the winner of a $100,000 year-end bonus.

“We are thrilled to host such a stellar tennis player as Todd Martin at the Legends Championships and bring even more excitement here to Grand Cayman,” said Michael Ryan, owner and developer of The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman and event title sponsor. “With Todd joining this elite group of athletes, we further establish our island as an elite sporting and luxury travel destination.”

All Champions Series events feature eight-man round-robin match formats with the winner of each four-player division meeting in the title match while second place finishers in each division meet in the third-place match. To be eligible to compete on the Champions Series, players must have reached at least a Grand Slam singles final, been ranked in the top five in the world or played singles on a championship Davis Cup team.

“Todd has had incredibly consistent success on the Outback Champions Series since the opening event back in 2005,” said Jon Venison, co-founding partner of InsideOut Sports and Entertainment and the Outback Champions Series. “He is in great shape, hitting the ball very well and is a threat to win every tournament he enters.”

Todd Martin, a singles finalist at the 1994 Australian Open and the 1999 US Open, finished 2007 as the No. 1 ranked player in the Stanford Champions Rankings that determine the year-end champion on the Outback Champions Series. Martin was followed at No. 2 by Courier, No. 1 on the 2006 Stanford Champions Points rankings, and 14-time Grand Slam tournament champion Pete Sampras at No. 3. John McEnroe will be playing in another tournament on the Outback Champions Series, the Oliver Group Champions Cup, from March 12 – 16, 2008 in Naples, FL.

The complete player field as well as the entire 2008 Outback Champions Series schedule will be announced in the near future.
