Andreescu came out of nowhere to win at Indian Wells in , then six months later stunned Serena Williams to win the U. Open final and charmed the packed house in Arthur Ashe Stadium with both their tennis and their post-match warmth. Raducanu became the first qualifier to win the event and Fernandez was equally unheralded coming into the Open. Both are teenagers, Fernandez from Canada and Raducana from England. As large and prestigious as this event has become, there will be many differences from past years.
There will be no paper tickets. Spectators will receive tickets through an app and show them on their phones at the entrances. It will also be a cashless event. All entrants must be vaccinated. No spectators under age 12 will be allowed. Open in the first matchup of unseeded players in a major final. There will be a chair umpire and ball kids for each match but no line-callers, as was the case at the U. The electronic Hawkeye cameras, long ago installed on each court at Indian Wells, will be the final word on line calls.
As a nod to potential hot October weather in the desert, there will also be an emphasis on night matches. Official night matches will be held, as usual, on Center Court and Court 1, but on seven other courts with lights, day sessions will be scheduled with later matches not starting before 6 p. Television coverage for the tournament will be handled exclusively by The Tennis Channel. Those who purchased tickets for the event, which was canceled one week before it was to begin, have been given three options: a full refund, the ability to apply their purchase to the October event, or the ability to do the same for the BNP Open in March, its normal spot on the tennis calendar.
We could see the mountains behind the stadium while the players were on the court. My kids loved this venue and we will book again with Championship Tennis Tours as they found us great seats on short notice and offered extra customer servicing - information about special events for our kids.
Bottom line: Chloe V. Bottom line: Tonya Beasely would recommend this event to their best friends. Better than the Grand Slams! The tickets were just as you said, in the shade right off the baseline. This tournament is, as far as for a great family experience, was by far the best. The Grand Slams care more about breaking attendance records than providing a spectator friendly environment.
This tournament had it all, the top players, good food, entertainment, shopping, etc. We will certainly look to attend this tournament with you again before going to another Grand Slam.
