The Daniels Island Tennis Center is a magnificent place to view a womens tennis event.
Some of the top tennis stars in the world regularly make the tournament and this year is no
exception. The star power that Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova bring alone is enough
to warrant attention and attract visitors. Serena Williams may well be the greatest womens
tennis player in history and a chance to see her play should not be passed up
