I just ordered my tickets for the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters in 2015. My brother, two friends of mine and me will attend all 1/4 finals, 1/2 finals and the final.
Will somebody else from this board travel to Monte Carlo in April next year?

Looking forward to spring 2015 :)

I won't be travelling there, but I know the feeling. I've been a regular at the AO QF, SF and F for quite a while now and still get that excited buzz every time we order the tickets...

Thanks Russeljones. I´m sure it will be great :)

Wow, I´d like to go to the Australian Open one day. But from Germany that´s not that near. But would be an option if I can combine the AO and a vacation in Australia on day in the near future.

The vibe and atmosphere is amazing.

Monfils played against Kukushkin on Margaret Court Arena a couple years ago, the whole crowd was smacking this beach ball around in circles. Could be a new trend, we'll call it the Aussie wave.

Still security had to be a party pooper and confiscate one of them, but that didn't stop us from using more :lol:

I go to Wimbledon every year for the fourth round, which is the greatest day to watch tennis throughout the year. :)

Been to IW a few times, Miami once - I was there for the first Roddick V Federer match in 08, US Open three times (I saw Sampras V Rafter in 98), FO many times.

Going to WTF in London in a few weeks. And then going to Brisbane, Australia to kick start the New Year...and I heard a certain Mr Federer will be there to greet me. LOL

Been to the WTF and Wimbledon before. Would love to go Monte Carlo though. Personally I hope to save up and go to Rome in next couple of years (as well as getting onto Center Court at Wimbledon).

Wow, some of you have been to many tournaments so far. Seems Hitman leads the pack in this event :-D (Hitman, do you have time for work beside your hobby tennis???? hehe)

I´ve been only to the French Open last year (semifinal and final) and thought this was really exciting. Afterwards we decided to do it again.
First we wanted to book some tickets for the WTF in London but then decided to go to Monte Carlo. Nice is around the corner and the Hotels aren´t really expensive. As it is only 650 km from my place we can even drive by car.

LOL! Wimbledon I go to every year, because it is about one hour away from where I currently live. I started going back when I was a kid, me and my friends would go off sick from school, and then go to Wimbledon to watch Sampras play every year.

I started going to French as I got older, I could basically get up very early at home in London, and get into Paris, watch the tennis, and then get back home the same day and go to work the next day. Done that many times.

IW I have been going to since 95, during the height of the Agassi V Sampras battles. I have a family home in California, so, we would often go out into the desert to watch tennis.

Miami - I was actually in Florida for Wrestlemania that year in Orlando, but decided to spend a few days in Miami to watch the tennis also.

US Open - Been three times, just lucky that many of my visits to NYC were around the same time as the Open.

I am going to Australia to celebrate New Year, and since the tennis tour will be there, why not watch a bit there also? :)

I've been to Wimbledon several times, the O2 3 times, Doha last year and AbuDhabi a few times also Dubai a few times. Last year I had a Media Pass in AD so was able to ask the players questions at the pressers. Players were: Nadal, Nole, Stan, Tsonga, Murray & Ferrer.

Ive been to wimbledon 3 times. This year was the first time on Centre. I've seen all the top 4train. Only seen Djokovic live. He wasn't quite on form that day but it was the match against Stepanek this year. Awesome experience. I actually would prefer to see the smaller courts because your so close. It's like watching theatre, like its choreographed. The ball is moving so quick and they have to be so quick to get there it's like they know already where the ball is going. Can't explain it.

Just curious, how did you get a media pass? You don't exactly seem like a journo to me, but maybe that's just me.

OP, that's awesome, I've only been to the WTF (multiple times though) and the US Open on the ATP-tour.
It's great to watch them up close.

I still want to go to Wimbledon...

Though I spend my summers going to the Swedish Open every year, I would like to experience a slam.

Only USO (Several times) and Washington (several times).

Hoping to see Toronto and Cincinnati in the coming years.

Have watched Novak, Fed, Rafa, Tsonga , Soderling, Davydenko, Sampras, Hewitt, Agassi.

Watched Novak in one of the clutch tie breaks against a GOAT'ing Dolgopolov.

Sounds great to me :)
I wanna have a familiy home in California as well. Can you manage this, hitman? :-D

You guys really have travelled the world for tennis.
Personally I´d like to go to all grand slams and the WTF.
Indian Wells and Miami have to be great too. Which tournament did you guys love the most?

@ The Order
Great vid and great atmosphere at the OZ. I´d like to be there one day too :)

Have fun should be a blast.

Been to the Aussie Open the past two years since its the nearest Slam for me. Its a wonderful event so much fun especially the outside courts.

Really tempted to go again next year but don't think i'll pull the trigger.

Gonna be attending a couple matches of the WTA Finals next week.

Congrats. Sounds like this is your 1st tournament - or at least 1st big one. There's nothing like being there live - just got back from PVG. I've been to all majors, all M1000's, year end in PVG and SYD, 500 and up Euro clays. Just started going to Dubai every year.

I hope the weather is great for you. MC is usually awesome - but occasionally in Apr it can be cooler and damp.

Thanks, WCA. It's my second big tournament after RG last year. Looking forward to it. Also I'm thinking about going to London to the WTF.
