It’s November. What’s that mean for men’s tennis? It’s the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals!  What a showdown… What an event … The O2 arena is fantastic for viewing tennis. It’s a venue that is one of the best anywhere in the world. The “Buzz ” is amazeballs…..

The first thing we all love to see is all the players in their handsome suits. They get measured in Paris and by the time they arrive in London their suits were waiting for them.

Geezer reported to us that many of the players weren’t proficient at ties. They know tie breakers… But making a nice knot around their necks? Well let’s just say Geez said that at least four players were in the hotel lobby having a nice little man making their ties…

The guys all “cleaned up” and looked great! What a handsome bunch !
The crowds are fantastic. They had their tickets reasonably priced – I’m not saying they were cheap. I’m just saying they were reasonable.

There’s a loud message to tourney directors globally. Lower your ticket prices !!!!!

Big Boss sat with some lovely ladies who had great seats that had paid 50 pounds for a day session that starts with a dubs at noon followed by a singles around two o’clock. Their seats were excellent. They had spurlged and bought the night session as well. So for 100 pounds they really got some great tennis for their money. The US Open this year it was over fifty dollars a day for a grounds pass? Shocking. Totally ridiculous to ever have any open seats at any tourney around the globe.

Tennis tourney directors… ATP…. WTA…. Wake up!! It’s better to fill the seats to grow the sport. The “suits ” want  to drape empty seats?  Change  TV camera  shots?  Come on guys…. Lower the ticket prices! Make kids tickets almost Free… How can there be growth in the game if we don’t fill  the seats …..

We would love to hear from the tennis fans!

The only way to describe this U.S. open is soaking wet without raining... It's really hard to play tennis when your socks are soaking wet and you are "sloshing" in your shoes. Your shoes get really heavy when they get wet.
