This was my 1st time at the Western & Southern. I've attended many professional tournaments over the years mostly in CA. The tournament is in a great location right off the interstate and across from Kings Island. It's a Masters 1000 event so the top women & men attend. So more tennis players for your ticket price. It draws all the top players as it's right before the US OPEN. Player accessibility is pretty easy here if you go early in the week. Make sure to visit all the courts and watch the practices and early rounds. Watching new players on their way up is pretty fun. It would be great if the tournament had a general admission ticket just for the outside courts. Other tournaments do and it keeps the price down. This tournament uses Ticketmaster so you have to pay their fees as well. Also the prices of tickets change constantly which I haven't seen before. There need to be more water fountains and water refill stations. This is the mid west in August! Also more and better charging stations. Better signage for all as well. Lots of food & drink options but very pricey like any big event. I would definitely go again though. read more
