Bezs, that's Mr. Charlie Pasarell. He's the IW tournament director and a former top American player.

Charlito "Charlie" M. Pasarell, Jr. (born February 12, 1944, San Juan, Puerto Rico) is a former Puerto Rican tennis player and commentator. Representing the United States as a player, he has been the tournament representative of the Americas on the ATP Board of Directors since 1990.
Pasarell attended UCLA, where he won the NCAA men's singles title in 1966, one year after his friend and teammate Arthur Ashe. He reached #1 in the rankings of American men's players in 1967. Pasarell competed in major tournaments from 1960 through 1979, with his most successful showings coming in doubles. He reached the finals in men's doubles at Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open. Pasarell was a member of the U.S. Davis Cup team in 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1974.
In 1969 at Wimbledon, Pasarell played Pancho Gonzales in what was, until 2010, the longest match in Wimbledon history. The 41-year old Gonzales finally defeated the 25-year-old Pasarell 22-24, 1–6, 16-14, 6–3, 11-9 after a battle that lasted 5 hours and 12 minutes.
Pasarell is currently the tournament director of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California, and a commentator for The Tennis Channel. He is a member of the Intercollegiate Men's Tennis Hall of Fame and the Southern California Tennis Association Hall of Fame.

One of the greatest matches ever played
In 1969, however, it was Gonzales's turn to prevail in the longest match ever played till that time, one so long and arduous that it resulted in the advent of tie break scoring. As a 41-year-old at Wimbledon, Gonzales met the fine young amateur Charlie Pasarell, a Puerto Rican younger than Gonzales by 16 years who revered his opponent.

Pasarell won a titanic first set, 24-22, then with daylight fading, the 41-year-old Gonzalez argued that the match should be suspended. The referee didn't relent and thus the petulant Gonzalez virtually threw the second set, losing it 6-1. At the break, the referee agreed the players should stop. Gonzalez was booed as he walked off Centre Court.
The next day, the serves, the volleys and all the prowess that made Gonzales a fiery competitor surfaced with trademark vengeance. Pasarell, seeking to exploit Gonzalez's advanced years, tried to aim soft service returns at Gonzalez's feet and tire him with frequent lobs. Barked Gonzalez on a changeover, "Charlie, I know what you're doing – and it's not working!" Gonzalez rebounded to win three straight sets, 16-14, 6-3, 11-9. In the fifth set, Gonzales won all seven match points that Pasarell had against him, twice coming back from 0-40 deficits, to walk off the court from the 5-hour, 12-minute epic.[4]
The final score was an improbable 22-24, 1–6, 16-14, 6–3, 11-9. Gonzales went on to the fourth round of the championship, where he was beaten in four sets by Arthur Ashe. The match with Pasarell, however, is still remembered as one of the highlights in the history of tennis and has been called one of "The Ten Greatest Matches of the Open Era" in the November/December 2003 issue of TENNIS magazine.[12] But it was not this match alone which gave Gonzales the reputation, among the top players, of being the greatest long-match player in the history of the game.
The match would (largely due to the introduction of the tie break) remain the longest in terms of games played until the historic, 11 hours and 183 games long Isner–Mahut match at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships.
 
Per wikipedia:

Probably girlfriend. Daughter would not be there every single match!

Pretty darn cool though that Larry has such a strong interest in our sport - good for us. Every single sponsor helps and the huge ones can help the most!

I can't facepalm because he is what he is... He can't get any deeper, he is in a blackhole. All rational thought is sucked in and who knows what is coming back out. Most of the time it is stuff like this.

oooooo, I'm hurt. My looks have been insulted by a fake "Standford" graduate who can't spell and fails at pretending to be a heterosexual adult male on a tennis forum. Seriously, you are an idiot of epic proportions. Learn to spell, learn some grammar and punctuation, and try to communicate like an adult.

Thanks for ruining another thread with your ridiculous and unnecessary trolling.

Google image search. This David Ellison and Larry's current wife Melanie. I've only been able to find one photo that might be his 25 year old daughter Megan, but since I'm not sure I won't post it.

Don't think the guest is his daughter. Also, the access letter on her pass is different than his, so perhaps it is not a family member of any type, but another tournament guest.

I noticed three different attractive woman, who appeared to be in their twenties, sitting next to Ellison on three different nights. I thought they looked like the sort of "models" that Mikhail Prokhorov likes to have around.

I was wondering myself. During one of the matches she was wearing a Star of David necklace. And their interaction doesn't give any hints at all as never did I see them talking to one another, and she just seems to sit there poker faced. For some reason I got the impression that she was really keen on Nadal at one point.

I gotta think it's his girlfriend. During the Fed/Nadal match they were holding hands (daughter, I don't think so) and he was constantly talking to her. Looked like he was explaining the match to her. Nice to be rich.

She looked rather upset at the end of the Fed-dal match. However, in the final she was wearing an RF cap.
