The format was good. Two 1 set semi's and a giant set final. Chang / Courier was a very well played and competitive set. Chang's serving was amazing. Sampras beat down McEnroe, who was coming back from injury. Then Sampras whupped Chang, who didn't serve as well in the final. The players had fun with each other and fun with the crowd. And they can all still play very well. Overall, it was a very enjoyable event.
Not knowing what to expect, we weren't as impressed as we had been when we bought the tickets. The play had some highlights but it was overall an entertainment event not a sporting event. Case in point, the regular rules regarding getting up during play were ignored.
The Tennis was excellent and very enjoyable. I was disappointed that Borg did not play as advertised. Borg vs McEnroe would have been awsome. Borg was replaced by Todd Martin in this event. The front section behind the baseline was terrible. These are the more expensive seats but they were temporary seating built for this specfic tennis match. The problem with these seats were that the height elevation between rows were very slight about 8 inches. I was seated just 7 rows back in the section behing the baseline. I was not able to see over the heads of the people in front of me. Anyway, during the changeover, I went back to the empty rows, the cheaper section and watch the rest of the event. The upper section was better and I can see the whole court. Next year I will not buy the more expensive front section unless it is the 1st row. FYI. We were not allowed to bring in SLR Cameras as they were considered professional cameras. Point and shoot and cell phone cameras with flash were ok.
It was OK. They need to wear microphones or stop making stupic jokes that only a few people can heard.
Great event hope it comes back to Chicago. Had a blast
Great entertainment. McEnroe and Agassi were their usual entertaining selves. These legends can still hit the ball hard and with great precision. It was a disappointment that Borg was not there, although Todd Martin was still entertaining. One downside was the crowd. Finally get some live tennis in Chicago, and the crowd was not really into it. Lighten up and have fun.
The main reason i signed up for this event was to see Bjorn Borg. Nothing was ever mentioned that he wasn't there or even an apology that the players had changed. I assumed since the players were playing for big bucks it would be competitive tennis and not an entertainment show. i know Chicago is a busy city, but we spent eight hours in the car getting to the event and I didn't get to see the one player I expected to see play tennis. It was not worth taking the time off work and being disappointed by the time we actually got there and had to pay another $20.00 just to park. I wanted to get a souvinour but $30.00 for a short sleeve T-shirt, are you kidding me?
Very good, lots of fun. amazing to see the arm speed and eye-hand coordination of these "old guys". tennis was good, and they their banter was lively. they have done much for tennis over the years, and they are still helping the sport.
It was a good night of tennis and a good night of laughs. The matches were just the right length. The players were SO fun to hear as they bantered back and forth (all friendly!).
Although I was a bit disappointed that Borg didn't make it, Todd Martin is a class act. It was great seeing him, Agassi, McEnroe, & Courier in this fun event. I hope to go again in 2012. How about a similar women's event?
