This is the worst tennis tournament I’ve ever seen. The semi finals were held a day before the finals, that was atrocious. Instead of doing a better job at scheduling, the players were subjected to mental and physical fatigue. The weather conditions were bad enough, but to have the finalist play a day before the finals, shame on this tournament’s coordinators.
Why not allow the first, second, third rounds play back to back days!
So disappointing!!!
Our second visit to Indian Wells for the BNP Paribas Open. We are both big tennis fans and so it's great to have the "fifth major" on our side of the states. The overall facilities at Indian Wells are impressive and allowed for a great week of live tennis...which is why we came!
COVID rules did seem to cause more confusion than since our previous visit, which just seemed to slow everything down with bigger queues, longer waits, helpers unsure of information - and so removed one star. I hope next year things will be back to normal and will be a 5-star event again!!
Will definitely be back 😍🎾
Foro Italico is a really unique venue as you walk around with all the giant athlete statues surrounding the facilities!
We went in 2019 and the event was busy...as expected... but queues moved fast so no problems there. Food and drink reasonably priced and enough choice.
We enjoyed the atmosphere and although we only had ground tickets, we had a great time watching the matches out in the sunshine. Would love to go again and would be a dream to get center court tickets.
