Friends and I attended the Open Practice Session and the Friday afternoon session. The Open Practice session was a complete disappointment. Lots of kids there, but as the ones in my area said, they found it boring; their interest seemed to be in getting on the videocam and social media, and eating. Frankly, there was nothing to encourage their interest in tennis. The Laver Cup could do much better ... they could stop the endless loud music, mike-up the coaches and let us hear what a practice session is all about. The only redeeming feature of the Open Practice Session was that the money went to charity. I would never attend again.
The Friday afternoon session was fabulous. The one thing that the Laver Cup and Roger Arena could do is include in all the emails (and post at the site) a piece on guest etiquette during a tennis match ... it is not a football game or a hockey game where you can come and go as you please. Many people did not know this. The attendants did their best, really had no training and did not have the benefit of the little chain across the entrance to the stands that is a common feature at tennis venues.
