The ultimate experience for tennis fans!

James Blake persevered through immense hardship to become one of the best tennis players in the world. Blake was a rising star on the Tour, but everything came crashing down in 2004 when he broke his neck on the tennis court, lost his father to stomach cancer and then contracted a debilitating form of shingles that nearly ended his career. He dropped significantly in the rankings, but with the support of family and friends, he made a valiant comeback and eventually reached No. 4 in the world by the end of 2006!
James most recently tasted triumph in his defeat of Roger Federer in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Cheer for James with this incredible package!
The Sony Ericsson Open is an ATP Masters Series event and a WTA Tier I event held in Key Biscayne, Florida.
