Dunlop Orange Bowl
Encyclopedia
The Orange Bowl International Tennis Championships, known since 2008 as the Dunlop Orange Bowl International Tennis Championships with Dunlop
as the title sponsor, is a prestigious junior tennis
tournament, one of only five that are rated by the ITF
as 'Grade A'. Established in 1947 in Miami Beach, the tournament has for years featured both boys and girls singles and doubles draws at both '18 and under' (under-19) and '16 and under' (under-17) age categories. Since 1999, the tournament has been held each December at Crandon Park
in Key Biscayne, Florida
.
Players who have competeted at the Orange Bowl reads as a virtual who's who of modern tennis, including Andre Agassi
, Arthur Ashe
, Boris Becker
, Björn Borg
, Jimmy Connors
, Jim Courier
, Stefan Edberg
, Chris Evert
, Roger Federer
, Steffi Graf
, Justine Henin, Ivan Lendl
, Hana Mandlíková
, Andy Roddick
, Gabriela Sabatini
, Monica Seles
, Guillermo Vilas
, and Mats Wilander
. Until this day however, Miami's Mary Joe Fernandez
is the only player, male or female, to win in every age division of the Orange Bowl and Junior Orange Bowl
tournaments: 12s, 14s, 16s, and 18s. However, Miami's Lynn Epstein, won the 12s, 14s and skipped the 16s to play up winning the 18s two years in a row. Epstein is the only player, to this day, to have achieved this feat, actually besting Fernandez' record.
In 1983, during the tournament's heyday, a professional stadium was built in Flamingo Park. The Abel Holtz stadium seated 9,000 fans. During the 1990s however, Flamingo Park Tennis Center fell victim to poor maintenance. The standards of the Orange Bowl could not be maintained so in 1999 the tournament was moved to the Tennis Center at Crandon Park
in Key Biscayne, home of today's professional tour event, the Sony Ericsson Open.
Recently, there has been a tennis revival in Miami Beach. A $5.5M master plan to renovate the Flamingo tennis facility has begun. The project includes a new 5000 sq ft (464.5 m²) tennis building and 17 clay hydro-courts. A large bronze plaque containing the names of all the great tennis champions who began their career playing in the tournament in Flamingo park will be restored, along with a plaque honoring local players who went on to tennis fame, such as Jerry Moss, the junior tournament's inaugural singles and doubles '13 and under' champion, and 1951 '15 and under' singles champion. (Since 1962 a '14 and under' and '12 and under' junior Orange Bowl tournament has been held instead, and at a separate site - see Junior Orange Bowl (tennis)
.)
The USTA hopes to bring the Orange Bowl back to the clay courts of Miami Beach to retore the tournament's prestige and popularity.
Dunlop
has been the tournament's title sponsor since 2008.
In 2011 the tournament will move out of Miami to Plantation, Florida
and will change surfaces from Hard Courts to Clay, the first time since 1998 at the tournament will be on clay, and held at the Frank Veltri Tennis Center
