    I'm going to be in Toronto for work next week, and just found out we got tickets for the Rogers Cup quarterfinal next Friday. Hopefully, I'll get to see Federer or Nadal play!

    I've never been to a live professional tennis tournament, but it seems like it'd be really fun to watch..anyone ever been?

    I've been to the tennis masters while here in Houston and went to a woman's tournament way back when just to see Steffi Graf. Fighting to get her autograph was fun as a kid. :).

    Best seats in my opinion are right behind the baseline. Don't have to shift your head from side to side and plus you get a better idea of how hard they hit and the type of angles these guys hit on their shots.

    I thought you were going to play in it.




    I guess watching it is ok.

    I volunteered for the Rogers Cup two years ago. It's the only big tennis event I've seen so I've got nothing to compare to, but I really dislike the stadium, Rexall Centre.

    I guess you going to York University, I graduated from Schulich school of business, too bad it's summer time, but this school has amazing women, from every ethnic background you can think of, truly amazing :D We were ranked #1 by plenty of magazines.....

    Anyway you are going to find parking a mess, I went a couple years back....... other than that it was fun.

    Oh yeah don't hang around that neighbourhood (off campus) it's dangerous according to our standards.....
