I'm planning to go to Cincy (masters), need suggestions...?

Question

Where is the best place to stay around the tournament?

Is it possible to get a picture taken with Nadal and Fed??? If so, what is the best way to get this done? ;)

I'm planning to go for the second weekend. The package deals are sold out... all they have are the individual tickets. Would the seats be too far for me to appreciate anything???

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I have been to Cincy every year for the past 4. It is a beautiful venue and not overly priced. It is much easier to meet tennis players outside the top 10. Marat Safin, James Blake, and Lleyton Hewitt are some of the gentlemen I have met. I think your best bet is to stand outside of the locker room area. All players enter and leave from that area and since Cincy isn't very crowded, you might have a shot!

Answer 2

This might not answer your specific question, but I was just looking at the summer schedule and noticed that the Olympics might be that very same week as the Cincinnati tournament.  Meaning, some of the top players may not even be there, they may just go straight to New Haven, CT.  I'm not sure, but that might be worth considering.
