Dolphins, IMG Sign 30-Year Deal For ATP/WTA Miami Open

IMG's Miami Open tournament this morning formally announced plans to play at a new tennis complex at Hard Rock Stadium beginning in ’19. The 30-year agreement will see the Dolphins and IMG collectively spend $60M to build a tennis center outside the stadium. The main court will reside inside the venue. All 30 courts, except for the stadium one, are permanent. There are 21 courts at the tournament’s current home on Key Biscayne, which will host the ’18 tournament. The event has been on Key Biscayne since ‘87 and grew into a top WTA and ATP stop, before slipping in recent years.
