Andre Agassi competing in the Champions Series in Arizona, 2009

InsideOut Sports + Entertainment has announced that Andre Agassi, John McEnroe, Jim Courier and Michael Chang will compete in Minneapolis at the Target Center on September 30, 2011 in the LeeAnn Chin Challenge as part of the 2011 Champions Series circuit.

The newly expanded and reformatted Champions Series will begin on September 22 in Fort Lauderdale, FL, taking the highly competitive tennis circuit to a total of 12 U.S. cities over a five week season through October 22.

Each of the 12, one-night tournaments will feature four champions paired off in one-set semi-finals competing for ranking points, culminating with the winners contending for the title in an eight-game pro-set championship match.

In addition to Agassi, McEnroe, Courier and Chang, the five-week tour will feature fellow Grand Slam champions Pete Sampras, Bjorn Borg and Mats Wilander. The athletes will compete for a prize pool totaling $1 million to be shared by the top three finishers at the conclusion of the season.

?We are thrilled to reunite seven legends who have won an astonishing 52 Grand Slam singles titles among them,? said Jon Venison, Founding Partner of the Champions Series. ?This is the greatest generation of champions ever assembled and an unprecedented opportunity for sports fans around the U.S. to reconnect with them.?

?Competing against my friends and foes in front of fans across the country is going to get my adrenaline pumping? said Jim Courier. ?The player line-up and format of the circuit is ideal for me and my peers to quench our competitive thirst while showcasing tennis to many cities that lack pro tennis events. May the best man win.?

The Champions Series is a tennis circuit for champion tennis players over the age of 30, created in 2005 by InsideOut Sports + Entertainment, the New York based firm which is co-owned and operated by former SFX executive Jon Venison and former world No. 1 Jim Courier.
