The Tennis Center at Crandon Park is actually the third home of Miami Open Tennis. It all started in Delray in 1985, moved to Boca Raton in 1986 before permanently settling in Miami in 1987. The Tennis Center is also home to the United States Tennis Association’s player development program headquarters.
