You have a Mean dad.
Last 2 years we parked our butts in the front row of Stadium 2 at Indian Wells. We've seen Hewitt, Berdych, Murray, Baghdatis, Ljubicic, Gonzalez, Moya, Haas, Hantuchova and others (including Federer playing doubles). I caught Baghdatis' wrist band (1. It was gross w/ sweat, 2. He was aiming at the Greeks sitting next to us but I snagged it.) It's now my son's lucky wristband...
I've seen Federer, Roddick, Djokovic, Nadal, Safin, Nalbandian, Henin, Sharapova, Mauresmo,
Blake, Gonsalez, Isner, Vaidisova, Davydenko, Ginepri, Haas, Lopez,Tipsoravic, Robredo, Querry,
Moya, Verdasco, Youhzny, and I'm sure I'm missing a lot.
**EDIT** add Bryan Brothers, Stepanek

No one.
My parents can't afford it.
I'll pester them into buying tickets at a pro event eventually.
Be a volunteer (ball kid perhaps?). That's one way to see matches.

Well, I am a ballboy, so I have seen a ton of people play and when it is not my shift I go to center court to go watch like Federer, Hewitt, Safin and everyone else play. It is pretty sweet and you get all of these clothes for being a ballboy. The best singles person I have ballboyed is Berdych and best doubles probably Miryni and Bjorkman, but I also ballboyed for Djokovic and Zimonjic. The best girl I have ballboyed for is probably Mirza.

I've seen a TON of players thanks to the US Open qualies and actual tournament.
This year at qualies I saw....Ferrer, Robredo, Davydenko, Berdych, the Safinator, Karlovic, Santoro, Monfils, Murray, Moya, Nalbandian, Simon, and several others. Saw Vince Spadea is person as well, lol.
I went on a Wednesday to I think the 2nd round. Saw Tsonga, Davydenko again, Moya was playing but there was an immense crowd around his sidecourt so I couldn't even catch a glimpse of him. There were others.
Then at the semis thanks to the whole rain delay stadium switch I was FRONT ROW for Rafa/Murray for 2 and a half sets. I did catch most of the first set of Federer/Djokovic as well. Got Martina Navratilova's autograph as well.

I've seen Roddick, Murray, Sampras, Haas, JMac playing dubs with Bjorkman, along with lower ranked players like Bjorn Phau, Wayne Odesnik, Donald Young, Jesse Levine, Steve Darcis. This all comes from the Sap Open . I went one night to see Agassi, but he pulled out last minute and we ended up seeing Sam Warburg and Joachim Johannson

Forgot about women I've seen, completely lol.
I saw Henin for a bit last year, as well as Kuznetsova. At this world team tennis thing this year, I saw Venus Williams as well as Ryler DeHaart(sp?)

Your comment was stupid and demeaning.
"This year at qualies I saw....Ferrer, Robredo, Davydenko, Berdych, the Safinator, Karlovic, Santoro, Monfils, Murray, Moya, Nalbandian, Simon, and several others. Saw Vince Spadea is person as well, lol."
No crap Murray, Ferrer, and Davydenko weren't in qualies, what do you take me for?

For those of us in locations like Washington state, transportation is more expensive than the actual ticket to most pro events. There's maybe one challenger up in B.C. annually that I might be able to get to, but nothing close or large anywhere.
I have yet to see any pros play in person. I almost went to davis cup in portland but the tickets sold out too quickly.
I live in Pakistan so getting to see anyone live ever was this incredibly insane and increasingly desperate dream that I harboured for several years. haha. But my parents somehow managed to send me to Dubai earlier this year to watch a few days of tennis so I saw Federer, Murray, Roddick, Berdych, Ferrer, Monfils, Santoro, Youzhny, Haas, Aisam ul Haq, Gasquet, Djokovic, Nadal, Kolschreiber (sp?), Cilic and Ferrero...it was awesomeeeee!!!
