Prior to the 2007-08 school year, the courts at the tennis center were resurfaced. The facility was made possible through a generous gift from Mark H. McCormack, a 1951 graduate of William and Mary, and his wife, former world-class tennis professional Betsy Nagelsen. As the former chairman, president and chief executive offi cer of Interna- tional Management Group, McCormack was widely recognized as the founder of the sports marketing industry.

    History 1998 - 2007 1998 Final: Sandrine Testud (FRA) - Lindsay Davenport (USA) 7-5 6-3 Winner’s Prize: Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet Prize Money: 450,000 US Dollar Host Dieter Fischer celebrated his 60th birthday. Much to his delight, Stefanie Graf entered the Grand Prix for the first time since 1985 but a hand injury thwarted her comeback in Filderstadt. Professor Ferdinand “Ferry” Porsche, the Grand Prix's great friend and sponsor, died. He last visited the event in 1996 when he handed over the prize - a Boxster - to the young Martina Hingis. His seat in the stand remained empty. 1999 Final: Martina Hingis (SUI) - Mary Pierce (FRA) 6-4 6-1 Winner’s Prize: Porsche Boxster S Prize Money: 500,000 US Dollar Sometimes it is not only spectacular tennis that thrills spectators. It happened in the first changeover of the final between Martina Hingis and Mary Pierce when the crowd applauded a fellow player sitting in the VIP box next to Porsche chairman Dr. Wendelin Wiedeking. A few weeks after retiring from tournament tennis, Stefanie Graf came to Filderstadt to watch the tournament. Martina Hingis raised her racket in the direction of her former rival as if to say, “Come down, do you want to play for me?” Stefanie Graf laughed and refused the offer. She had in the meantime established herself as a keen observer of the sport she had so dominated for over a decade. The final was over in no time at all. Martina Hingis seemed to be in a hurry to win her third Porsche at her sixth appearance at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix.

On Sunday he cruised to his third successive Wimbledon victory, only the third man to win three in a row in modern times. His powerful and brilliant display completely destroyed his opponent, the American Andy Roddick. At the age of 23, Federer is young enough to become one of tennis’s greatest ever players. He has all of the skills necessary to dominate men’s tennis for many years. Sunday’s final was a display of perfect tennis. Andy Roddick could do nothing to stop the brilliance of the Swiss genius’s play. The 6-2, 7-6, 6-4 win suggests Roddick did not play well. This is untrue. He played incredibly well and fought very hard for every point. Unfortunately for him, it wasn’t good enough against the faultless Federer. Even a delay for rain didn’t break the Swiss master’s flow. He continued his blend of beautiful and destructive tennis to win in three sets.
