Andy’s Cup Tennis Tournament

Tennis TourneyI remember Andy’s Cup as a smaller-scale  pro-level tennis tournament than the 2009 version,  which is now held on the  beautiful tree canopied grounds of Coral Oaks Tennis Club each spring.   A few years back it was hosted by it’s creator, Dr Jules Cadet, in his own Pinecrest backyard…. literally down the street from the tennis club.  Using  just his single lit tennis court, the tournament he originally benefactored went on forever.  So did the  festivities, bar-b-que and the sponsors’ hospitality!  

Andy’s Cup has evolved into a delightful, highly anticipated annual Pinecrest event, always in April.  For the past two years  Dr. Jules Cadet  (Pinel Medical Center) has hosted this event at Coral Oaks Tennis Club on Red Road.  Organized by tournament director, Ralph Martin of GT Sports, Andy’s Cup  lures pro and university level  players to Miami…  and is free to the public… So is the food!   Sponsors range from Mercedes Benz, GT Sports,  and Pinel Medical Center, to a bevvy of others.  Despite  the complimentary  food…  and  drinks… (endless bar-b-que with a distinct Haitian flair)  the tournament raises a substantial purse for the winning players… with the bulk of the proceeds from Andy’s Cup going to a  hospital  built by Dr. Jules Cadet and his colleagues in Haiti.   Andy’s Cup…  affectionately referred to as  ”Haitian Tennis” after the cause it supports…  is  a local event that draws benefactors  from all over the United States, raising donations to the tune of $80,000.00 last year.

Tennis Tourney FoodTeams compete in doubles, singles and mixed-doubles.  This years’ 2009 tennis players were grouped into 6 teams:  Cuba 1, Cuba 2, Haiti, World, USA, and Chile.  Teaching pros from Royal Palm Tennis Club, & Deering Bay Tennis Club …  along with college players formerly on the University of Miami Tennis Team… a dynamic  young tennis player who  recently defected from Cuba…  tennis stars from Haiti … phenomenal kids from Argentina (one  as young as 14  years old!)  comprised a diverse international group!  If America is a melting pot, Miami wins  big for creating the right recipe.  A weekend of multi-cultural competition and camaraderie…  Andy’s Cup gives us yet another reason to celebrate life in Miami !

    We’re going to have to check out this tournament next year. Seems to have a nice local feel and bring in some amazing international talent. Also love that the tournament helps out a hospital in Haiti.

    I have been to this event, in my view a very classy affair however I have been at both venues the Doc’s lovely house and the present wonderful Club, I must say that a lot of flavors were lost with the relocation. I guess you can refer to this as the price of progress. I will be there again to support the cause and mingle with the awsome audience that are usually in attendance.
