The 11th Annual Madisen’s Match

With the month of March right around the corner, it could only mean one thing… No, not spring break. It’s time for Madisen’s Match!

Duane Chaney has once again put together an impressive event in honor of his niece, Madisen. At the age of three, the young girl faced an inoperable brain tumor. As Duane and his family sat by her side, he was overcome as he saw her fear.

“This had a profound effect on me,” he says. “I felt I had to do something.”

Being an avid tennis player, he decided to put together a tennis tournament in her name.

Returning for the event are Mike and Bob Bryan (twin brothers), who are the world’s #1 double team players in the sport of tennis. Other tennis pros scheduled include: Sam Querrey, 2017 Wimbledon Semifinalist; Taylor Fritz, ATP Tour Star; Robby Ginepri, former world #15 ATP Ranking; Mikael Pernfors, former world #10 and French Open Finalist; Don Johnson, former World #1 ranked Doubles; and Tom Gullikson, former US Davis Cup Team Captain.

On the Saturday before the event (March 16), be sure to reserve your seat for the Madisen’s Match VIP Gala & Auction, hosted by the Miromar Lakes Beach Clubhouse. All attendees get to mix and mingle with tennis pros, enjoy a great meal, and participate in the live and silent auction.

On Monday, March 18th at Miromar Lakes is the Legends Tennis Camp where amateur players get to take the court and play with the Bryan Brothers and the other world-class tennis pros.

This is followed by the Golisano Pro Tennis Classic at the Suncoast Credit Union Arena at Florida Southwestern State College.

“Last year,” according to Chaney, “we had over 2,000 turn out for the Pro Tennis Classic.”

All proceeds from the Gala & Auction, Legends Tennis Camp, and Pro Tennis Classic benefit the adult and pediatric cancer treatment programs of the Lee Health Foundation. For more information, please visit www.madisensmatch.com.
