The basic history of the Nasdaq 100 tennis tournament :  Celebrating its 20th year in 2004, the NASDAQ-100 Open is the largest tournament in the world with Title Sponsorship. When Butch Buchholz established the tournament in 1985, it was the first newly-created two week tennis event where men and women competed simultaneously. Located in Delray Beach (Laver’s International Tennis Center) in its first year, the tournament moved to Boca Raton (Boca West) in 1986, and in 1987 found a permanent home on Miami’s Key Biscayne. In 1994, Miami-Dade County completed and christened the Tennis Center at Crandon Park, a 30-acre expanse that is transformed each year from a public tennis facility into a full-fledged festival for the NASDAQ-100 Open. The Tennis Center at Crandon Park is considered one of the finest venues and the NASDAQ-100 Open one of the most prestigious titles in professional tennis. 
 
The Format of the Nasdaq 100 tennis tournament:  The only combined 12-day Tennis Masters Series event on the ATP and WTA Tour calendar, the NASDAQ-100 Open features the world's top-ranked pros - 96 men and 96 women in singles competition, and 32 men's teams and 32 women's teams in doubles action.
