Please recommend me ATP tournaments and its best stages in Europe this and early next year - I'm a Rafa - Big 3 fan/maybe we'll meet up. No hate!

Semi-Pro
So it'll be cold until Monte Carlo but I love tennis more than weather (0 degrees in Paris and Turin.. I'm from a colder climate. Not Syberia though :). I'm like "well, it's one of my last chances to see a slam or ATP with x and y".
Would you go to early rounds middle rounds or final? My background - RG semi-final and final and Wimbledon final. (don't think I'm posh because of Wimbledon. It was my dream that kind of didn't live up to expectations also I got the tickets lat minute so that I could see the clouds - the seats were high ). Finals are higher stakes but that semi-final at RG was well.. Zverev's semi-final couldn't compare to Nadal-Djoker. I have Paris and Turin this year on my mind and Madrid and Monte Carlo next year. I thought I was above it but when I got to chance to take a picture with Novak I was again a giddy girl nineties/00 girl again. But terrible at selfies he was so patient I took around 6 pictures to have us both in my frame. Don't blame me. I'll never forget when he gathered around people from Serbia and Serbian kids. I can't enter US until they allow us to but maybe it's for the greater good. Australian Open - the same.
I have no idea if I should pay this year for ATPs (and make sure I see my favs) Nitto included. I'd be grateful if you could help. This forum is so nice, I know they're haters but you're amazing people, helped me with my racquet (I'm the longest and worst playing female playing at sub-par club level..) and now with ATPs. If so what's the best stage to see great tennis and not overspent. (I learnt at both RG and even more at Wimbledon that it's all nice but my mum texted me about the game and I was like "well, yes, I don't see much it's ok I don't see a close up like you do). Please don't hate poste here <3
Early rounds - I get to see almost everyone but it's early.. however it's not a slam and finals are finals.. But most important is which I should choose since I don't have time and money to go to every game. Of course you can't predict who would participate.
Thank you in advance, this forum is the best!

Very understandable as Djoker has this effect on all women.
Forget about Rafa and visit Melbourne and watch Djoker win another AO. Hopefully Australia will have opened its doors to tourists by then. You can meet up with Bart.

Based on what you've said the remainder tournaments of this year aren't thaaaaat appealing to you - as you're mostly a Nadal fan, specially if we consider you're already going to two great tournaments (Turin and Paris).

I would save it all to April/may/June of next year. Barcelona, even though it's a 500, is one of Nadal's personal favourite tournaments, the city itself is nice and the venue is good. The tournament is a good indicative for RG as well. Pricing is ok too. Then Rome, as you will have some amazing outer courts and the foro italico itself is worth the visit. This is also a tournament where we usually see Nadal and Djokovic in good shape, so maybe you could catch another final or semi-final with them. And then RG for obvious reasons.
 
Rome is the best bet to see that Rafa/Nole classic
Weather usually is ideal for tennis too
Where are you traveling from?

Haha thanks. Happy slam is indeed happy, I love the aura especially this year (the comparison to other covid slams). But my post aged terribly in less than 24 hours. I'd so want to go to Australia but it's been "closed" for a while and judging by NZ case I'm scared :(

You guys are such experts :) I probably will go because I love tennis and won't bet on Nadal anymore. I'm from Poland so the flights are short and cheap :)
