Former champion Tommy Haas has been given a wild card to play in the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships (ITC) ATP World Tour event that begins Monday, February 27 at the Delray Beach Stadium & Tennis Center.

Haas, who won the tourney back in 2006, joins Xavier Malisse (2005 & 2007) and Ernests Gulbis (2010) in the field as former Delray Beach title winners. It will be the Bradenton resident’s fifth appearance, where he has compiled a 7-3 record.

The 33-year-old veteran is returning from hip and elbow surgery in 2011, but his record shows that he has successfully bounced back from serious injuries throughout his career.

After reaching No. 2 in the world in 2002, the 4-time Grand Slam semifinalist missed the entire 2003 season following shoulder surgery but climbed back to the Top 20 in 2006 beginning with his title in Delray Beach. He reached the Top 10 again in 2007 before more shoulder surgery, but by 2009 he was back in the Top 20, reaching the Wimbledon semifinals.

Haas, winner of 12 ATP World Tour titles in his 16-year career, is one of 32 players in a strong Delray beach field that includes headliners Andy Roddick and top seed John Isner.

The Delray Beach ITC opens with ATP Champions Tour action this Friday evening with two matches under the lights: Grand Slam champions Pat Cash vs Carlos Moya at 7:00 pm and Hall of Famer Ivan Lendl vs Jimmy Arias at 9:00 pm.

Serena Williams, former World No. 1 and 2008 Family Circle Cup Champion, has committed to the 2012 Charleston event.  Williams, currently standing at World No. 11 in the WTA rankings, joins 2010 Cup champion Samantha Stosur, 2004 Cup Champion Venus Williams, and Vera Zvonareva in the tournament.  Marking the tournament’s 40th year, the Family Circle Cup will be held March 31 – April 8, 2012 at the Family Circle Tennis Center in the Best Tennis Town in America, Charleston, S.C.

“Serena is one of the most popular and recognizable athletes in the world, as well as an overwhelming fan-favorite at this event,” said Eleanor Adams, Family Circle Cup Tournament Manager.  “We couldn’t be happier to welcome another former champion to our player field as we prepare to celebrate our 40^th year in women’s professional tennis.”

“The Family Circle Cup’s 40th year celebration is an important milestone in women’s tennis,” said Serena Williams.  “This tournament has a key place in history, so I’m always happy to compete in Charleston.”

Williams has made five previous appearances in Charleston where she accumulated $336,540 in prize money, has a 12-4 record, and returns to this event with an active five-match win streak in progress, stemming from her 2008 Cup championship.  Her Charleston earnings rank her at No. 7 among all-time Family Circle Cup money leaders.

“I’ve always loved Charleston.  The fans are very knowledgeable, and the intimate atmosphere makes this tournament one of my favorites,” noted Williams.

World No. 1 Victoria Azarenka pulled out of the Dubai Tennis Championships on Wednesday due to a left ankle injury. Azarenka who is currently on a 17-match win streak says she’ll take a break from tennis and spend time with the family.

“Obviously it’s very disappointing, but, I mean, it’s life. It’s sport. I just have to take care of it and that’s it,” said Azarenka. “I take a couple of days off just to see and hopefully it will settle down for as long that I don’t need to take a scan or anything.

“But I just need to have my peace of mind and probably will still do the same just to make sure there is nothing really serious. But it has to be taken care of right away.”

MEMPHIS, Tennessee (February 21, 2012) – On Court 1 at The Regions Morgan Keegan Championships on Tuesday, Frenchman, 30-year old Julien Benneteau teamed with (his fourth different doubles partner in four tournaments played in 2012) Belgian 31-year old Olivier Rochus (himself teaming with his fifth different doubles partner in 5 tournaments) to beat 2011 US Open champions and #2 seeds 27-year old German Philipp Petzschner and 30-year old Austrian Jurgen Melzer  6-1, 3-6, 10-5.  The atmosphere for the intimate Court 1 was intense, and the crowd was animated throughout.  Both teams traded steely glances towards each other, exasperation for missing shots, and some interesting bits of questioning line calls and the chair umpire.  Late in the 1^st set, Melzer asked the chair how the lineswoman could possibly make lines calls “because she is wearing sunglasses inside!”  The close quarters on Court 1 heightened the fun of the experience, and there was a palpable buzz running through the crowd most of the match.

Later on Center Court, 24-year old American Ryan Sweeting defeated veteran American, 32-year old James Blake 6-0, 6-2.  Six-foot-five Sweeting, ranked 78, moved well throughout the match, and his crisp hitting and defense forced Blake, ranked 61, into many errors.  Blake, playing in his first tournament of 2012, looked deflated for a good portion of the match, perhaps partly because of some rust in his own game.  Sweeting played an impressive mix of defense and high percentage tennis, and capitalized on most short ball and mid-court opportunities he found during the baseline rallies.

Next up on Center Court, was 24-year old American Sam Querrey against 28-year old Colombian, Alejandro Falla.  Querrey, ranked 99, recently hired Brad Gilbert as his coach, and Gilbert was in Memphis watching his new charge tough out a 3-set win over the scrappy Falla.  Falla, ranked 60, consistently attacked Querrey’s backhand throughout the match and built himself a solid lead by taking the first set 6-2.  It took Querrey some time before he got his forehand clicking but he recovered to take the final 2 sets 6-3 and 6-4.  This was a good win for Sam, who has struggled at the start the year and has not won 2 matches in row in 2012- he plays the winner of Robbie Ginepri and Kevin Anderson in his next match.

Behind "THE BASELINE"

The first night match pitted 26-year old American and top seed John Isner versus the dangerous 28-year old Gilles Muller from Luxembourg.  From the beginning, the crowd was vocally behind the 13^th ranked Isner and he made things even more interesting for spectators sitting behind the baseline to the left of the chair because several of his balls went flying renegade into the crowd.  It happened at least 7 or 8 times, and a man sitting behind “THE baseline” center service line responded by waving a white towel.  Isner even walked up to the behind THE baseline crowd after a changeover to apologize and laugh with them.   Muller, ranked 69, also sent a few balls into the crowd.  Both men, known for their fierce serves, played themselves into 2 tiebreakers.  Isner, who hit 26 aces, ran away with the first tiebreak 7-1 by playing aggressive tennis and attacking short balls and moving forward to the net.  Muller fought well in the second set, saving 5 of 5 break points, but eventually fell in the tiebreak 4-7.  Isner, who combined with his doubles match has won 4 straight tiebreak sets in Memphis, got a loud reception from the crowd for winning the match and next plays Donald Young.

The final match of the evening featured 2 wildcard American teenagers: 19-year old Ryan Harrison and 19-year old Jack Sock.  Both men appeared nervous to start, but it was the more experienced Harrison who saved all 3 of his break points during the 1^st set.  Harrison, ranked 73 and off a semifinal run in San Jose last week, played a steadier more high percentage style of baseline tennis to take the 1^st set 6-3.  Sock, ranked 306, began the match hitting more flat and powerfully than Harrison and with more errors, but adjusted his game in the 2^nd set.  Harrison also appeared to go on a mental walkabout, losing 2 service games and the set 2-6.  The 3^rd set brought out the best tennis of the match.  Sock, attacking short balls and utilizing his crisp volleying skills, looked like the stronger player early in the 3^rd.  But Harrison played some good defense, and turned the match in his favor by doing what I’ve been seeing a lot of this week: he played some solid defense and prolonged points against the more go-for-broke style of tennis Sock was playing.  The low margins eventually were Sock’s undoing, and he lost the break and the set 4-6 to Harrison.  Both men are the same age, but Harrison’s got a bit more experience playing tour matches, and he used this confidence to good effect in winning this match.
