2015 Western & Southern Open Sets New Attendance Record

 

Numerous attendance records were set as 14 of 16 total sessions at the Western & Southern Open were sold out, leading to a record total of 199,217 fans to attend the 2015 tournament.

 

Five attendance records were set during the tournament:

Weekly total: 199,217

Single day: 26,338 (set Thursday)

Single session attendance & Day session attendance: 14,380 (set Tuesday)

Over the course of the week, 14 of 16 sessions drew a record attendance for that particular session.

 

“It’s amazing to watch record-breaking crowds come in each day,” said Tournament Director and COO Vince Cicero. “The event grows each year as more casual fans are attracted by the variety of entertainment we offer around the grounds to complement the world class tennis on the court. Fans coming from every state and all over the world to make this a marquee event on the tennis calendar.”

 

The 2016 Western & Southern Open will be held August 13-21.

 

Tickets for the 2016 tournament will go on sale early next year. Fans can sign up now for email alerts about the on-sale dates by visiting www.wsopen.com.

 

 

About the Western & Southern Open

The Western & Southern Open is held at the Lindner Family Tennis Center, 20 miles north of Cincinnati in Mason, Ohio. The tournament is one of the prestigious ATP Masters 1000 events on the men’s tour and a Premier 5 event for the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), making it one of only five events in the world outside of the grand slams with events of that caliber occurring during the same week at the same venue. More than 67 million people watch the event worldwide. The tournament is also one of the last stops on the Emirates Airline US Open Series before the US Open in New York. Since 1974, the tournament has contributed more than $9 million directly to its beneficiaries: Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, the Barrett Cancer Center and Tennis for City Youth.

 

About the Emirates Airline US Open Series

Now in its 12th season, the Emirates Airline US Open Series continues to serve as a true regular season of hard court tennis, linking seven summer tournaments to the US Open. In 2014, Serena Williams won the US Open and Emirates Airline US Open Series women’s title for the second consecutive year, earning a record tennis paycheck of $4 million. Rafael Nadal (2013), Roger Federer (2007) and Kim Clijsters (2005) also accomplished the feat of winning the Emirates Airline US Open Series and US Open singles title within the same year.

 

Editors Note : other tourneys could learn a bit how to treat the ticket holders , players , coaches , media … Indian Wells where arrogance is the norm and instead of juice bars or ice cream. There’s just bars with liquor. Oh and Nobu. @ Indian Wells I’m certain they all have the attitude that they are under “Larry’s Umbrella”

The Cincy tourney program book lists every volunteers full names. And it lists their years of service. Paul Flory was the tourney director for 40 years. He loved tennis. He loved that event. He never drew a salary.
