Gael Monfils versus Marcel Granollers . A great match. A fun match.

Mohamed Lahyani  in the  umpires chair giving the score in Spanish and in English  and in this  case might as well add  French…

It’s a grand match and the Spaniard is about to win.7-6,3-6,6-4  What else do I see? Yup. It you guessed too many empty seats you got the answer right. What a shame. Ticket prices need slashing. Season ticket holders or series ticket holders need to be wined, dined and given a great level of service. Tournament directors that don’t service their super fans are super idiots. A tourney promoter and a tourney director shouldn’t be the same person unless they have dual talents.

Stacy and all “suits”….. We are happy you had your best attendance in a dozen years. That’s because tickets prices were relatively low…  Shame on you for not overseeing a better job of ticket sales at every event. Most tourneys and stadium builders believe if you build it they will come. Nope. If you, market an event, nurture it and make players accessible to the media and fans ticket sales would improve.

If you build it… I do love the stadium court in Valencia. It’s magnificent.

Updates: Monfils lost and blew his chances of making London this year.

Del potro beat Sam Querrey 6-2,7-5. The Bryans are in the dubs semis.

Updates: More empty seats. Players love full stadiums. Who wouldn’t. You are playing your hearts out ….
