Host Mieke Buchan takes you around the hi-lights of Miami. Tennis Channel picks 3 very different resorts in 3 diverse areas of Miami to find a tennis vacation that fits every budget and style. Host Mieke Buchan puts them to the test. If you're looking for a lot of style but don't want to break the bank, you'll love our South Beach pick. It's the New Clinton Hotel in the trendy Art Deco district. This newly renovated boutique hotel is just blocks away from some of the best public courts in Miami, Flamingo Park. These are the very courts Chris Evert won her first tennis match at age 11. The pros are trained in the Bollettieri method, so we get a top notch lesson for a very reasonable price. Mieke mambos her way through the South Beach shops, clubs and cafes. Then we're off to the more subdued Coconut Grove to The Grove Isle Hotel and Spa to try out "The Patrick McEnroe Experience". The Davis Cup Captain has created a perfect tennis experience that includes a warm up with a trainer in the gym and massage before a personalized lesson, followed by another massage! Then it's off to Key Biscayne - home of the Sony Ericsson Open to our top pick, the Ritz Carlton in Key Biscayne. Mieke tries out the high voltage clinics and takes a "Fantasy" lesson with one of the great tennis legends of all time
