Eddie Herr is one of the torch bearers of junior tennis tournaments.
According to IMG Academy, the host of the tournament, Eddie Herr evolved from a 100 player local tournament in 1987 into an international event attracting the best international junior players. A couple of years back, 2,200 players representing 92 nations applied for the prestigious tourney. A bevy of current pro circuit stars, including Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Andy Roddick, David Nalbandian, Mardy Fish and Jelena Jankovic, previously competed.
