Arizona Men's Tennis Championship Tickets

Each year they come to the Valley of the Sun. It may not be Wimbledon or the U.S. Open, but the gentleman professionals of the tennis world enjoy coming to Scottsdale, Arizona each winter to battle in a tennis event that is part of the ATP tour. In 2004, from March 1st through March 7th, the men played in the Arizona Men's Tennis Championships. This year's field, challenging for about $380,000, will include Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, James Blake and Taylor Dent. This will be the first time that Andy Roddick has played in Scottsdale.

This event used to be known as the Franklin Templeton Tennis Classic. The professional women's tennis tournament, the State Farm Women's Tennis Classic, will no longer be happening in Scottsdale. The Arizona Men's Tennis Championships will be taken place at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess in North Scottsdale.
SCOTTSDALE, AZ-- The Qatar Tennis Federation has purchased and will shift the Scottsdale women's Tier II tennis tournament to Doha, Qatar, beginning with the 2005 event. Sale of the WTA Tour event does not change the Arizona Men's Tennis Championships, which will be played March 1-7, 2005, at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess.

IMG, which owned the competition, sold the event because of scheduling conflicts with its 10-day combined men and women's events in Indian Wells that would have overlapped with the ATP event in Scottsdale in 2004. For 2004 and beyond IMG tournament organizers planned to run the Scottsdale Men's and Women's events throughout the same week (as opposed to two divided weeks as in years past.) The Southern California event, combined with the forced shortening of the Scottsdale tournaments, made it clear the competition had to be moved.

"While we are upset that the women will not be playing in Scottsdale, we think the shift to Qatar provides new options for women's tennis," said Peter Tatum, IMG Vice President Western Region Events. "Scottsdale is a wonderful tennis community, and we look forward to continuing to expand our 13-year-old men's ATP event."
