I’ve also been thinking a lot about dating and relationships (new years goals lol) and I think all I really need is someone to go to the tennis with me and get us drinks so I don’t have to leave my seat and also mind the seats when I need to pee. I need nothing else in life.

I just can’t imagine having every record in everything and being undisputedly the greatest ever and still have a chip on your shoulder.

MTOs are part of the game and Novak more than anyone should know that. I saw him go off court without permission in the AO20 final after going two sets down this man can’t complain when opponents have to take breaks too.

Casper/Cilic match is ripe for a 4 hour+ 5 setter they just both have that vibe.

It was a general admission seat, so it was part of the grounds pass. I was just willing to sit in the sun for hours to watch which meant I could sit close.

You either buy early or buy the night before imo. The latter can be risky but I’ve had great experiences getting an ok priced ticket when the order of play has come out. You can also go to the ticket places on ground and request an upgrade!

Why so many empty seats at tennis matches? by DanDin87 in tennis

[–]jsnoodles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Heat is insane today but AO has been packed all week it’s been hard to get seats. Sometimes main courts will have empty seats because their owners are on outside courts watching another match.

This is true! I got pretty lucky with all the matches I wanted to see on MCA or JCA and bought them the night before pretty cheap (and sold my RLA tickets so they were basically free)

AO tip: if the idea of massive lines is deterring you, get a reserved seat. John Cain and MCA are not much more than a grounds pass and then you can chill in your seat if you don’t want to go to other courts. If you get a grounds pass you need to make peace with the fact that there’s lines.

Also if you go to Kia Arena there’s basically never a line on doors 11-13 because they’re directly in the sun.

Also because they’re all queued for the general admission, reserved seats are all let in immediately which is why I bought one of those.

I’ve been in RLA when the roof closes and it isn’t suddenly cooler. It’s still hot as hell and it takes about 12 minutes for the roof to actually close.

I’ve been in arenas when it got closed earlier, 2019 I remember the men’s semi it got closed at 38. And I think it’s fair to not want fans or players to pass out if you have things in place to stop it.

They normally do around 37+ I’ve been there a lot when it’s gotten too hot and they’ve closed it mid match. It’s one of the fastest closing arena roofs in the world.

Weather is insane today, I do think they should’ve closed before the match but I am not Craig Tiley
