Screenshot of Nintendo's Wii Tennis game from Wii Sports - Image 1The players participating in the upcoming International Tennis Championships (ITC) at Delray Beach won't be the only ones sweating it out on the courts this weekend. As part of the event, the ITC will hold the Wild 95.5 Wii Tennis Tournament featuring four of the best Wii tennis players fighting it out on the virtual tennis court.

The finalists of the Wii Sports Tennis tournament will get exclusive VIP courtside seats to watch the ITC tournament's finals on Sunday. The winner of the virtual tennis tourney will be crowned Grand Champion and will get his very own Nintendo Wii console.

Gil Mayron, one of the finalists of the event, went as far as enlisting his own sponsor, using Prince tennis equipment for his Wiimote racquet cover. Mayron won the first qualifying event at a local bar and is confident in his title as the "Number one professional Wii tennis player of the virtual tennis tour."

The three other qualifiers who will face off with Mayron this weekend include Mitchell Johnson, Aaron Wormus, and Surej Kalathil.
