ESPN3 and ESPN International will provide live coverage of the 2013 Dream Cup Barbados, a two-day event November 29-30 featuring reigning Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, the No. 3 ranked player in the world in his first action since back surgery following the US Open, plus No. 5 Juan Martin Del Potro, No. 10 Richard Gasquet and No. 16 Nicolas Almagro.
The four-player tournament will be held at the Wildey Gymnasium at the Sir Garfield Sobers Sports Complex. The players will compete for a villa stay in one of the premium beachfront homes at the nearby Saint Peter’s Bay Resort & Residences.

About The Dream Cup Barbados.
While the name of the tournament has changed to The Dream Cup, the motto remains the same “Aspire To Inspire.” The organization aims to provide financial support to assist in the development of tennis in Barbados by providing assistance to the Barbados Tennis Association’s School Initiative Program. This program introduces tennis to a large number of children on the island who otherwise would not be able to afford to participate
