2013 PwC Cayman Men’s Invitational Tennis Tournament – Singles Draw and Schedule

From Cayman Islands Tennis

From 29 January at The Cayman Islands Tennis Club the tennis action continues.

Attached you will see the 2013 PwC Cayman’s Men’s Invitational draw and schedule.  In the next five days at the Cayman Islands Tennis Club you will be able to witness an international tennis tournament.  The viewing is free of charge and the matches will start at 5:30 every evening.   There really is no excuse not to come out and watch and enjoy some great tennis, food and libations.  It will be the most competitive tournament that the Cayman Islands has ever witnessed!  PERIOD

The number one seed in the tournament is Dennis Zivkovic from the United States.  Dennis is currently ranked 303 ATP, he has been as high as 295 in the world and has a current doubles ranking of 198 in the world.  The number two seed is Phillip Bester from Canada.  Phillip has been ranked as high as 229 in the world back in 2011. Unfortunately, injuries have given him a current ranking of 567 in the world, but he is now fighting back.  Stefanno Ianni, returning from last year’s tournament is currently ranked 121 in the world in doubles and he has been as high as 300 ATP in singles, will be the tournament’s number third seed.  Another returning player this year is the number fourth seed, McCoy Malcolm.   This will be MCoy’s fourth year participating in the PwC Men’s Invitational;  last year he made it to the finals and lost to Haydn Lewis of Barbados.

Can you believe it!  We actually have 8 more players that are in the below draw.  Marcus Malcolm, from Jamaica, making his fourth appearance in the tournament, Eduardo Torres coming down from Canada to see if he can regain the title, and Mica Koll and Nikhil Jha, two Caymanians, that will make their second appearance in the PwC Men’s Invite.  All trying to get the top prize of $2,500 US Dollars!  Adam Bayley, the Cayman Islands Tennis Club’s local pro will be in the draw as well as another local, Alex Leonard who also participated last year. Richard Bullbring, from South Africa will be playing for the championship as well.   Rob Weins and Richard Harrison who just gave you a fantastic final in the 2013 PwC Cayman Open Championships will also face the tough international players in this year’s 2013 PwC Men’s Invitational Championships!  The other two qualifiers from the 2013 PwC Cayman Open are Eamon Wilson and Chris Van de Water!

As you can see, the tournament is expected to be fantastic!  We just hope that all of you will be able to make it to the Cayman Islands Tennis Club to see some great tennis.  The action will begin Tuesday (29) at 5:30 PM.  We will have non-stop action every evening with the finals of the tournament starting at 4:30 PM on Saturday.  Doubles play will begin on Wednesday.

I would like to say a special thank you to PwC for being the main sponsor of this event.  PwC has been a great sponsor to tennis in the Cayman Islands and the Cayman Islands Tennis Club is very happy to have such a wonderful partnership with them for the last seven years.  Also, thanks to Cayman National Bank for a second year of sponsorship for the PwC Men’s Invite.

Readers, this truly will be the best tennis you will see to date on this fantastic Island, I sure would like for all of you to be able to come down and witness it!  You are more than welcome to post the draw and spread the word of a fantastic sporting event at your offices and with friends!
