October 24, 2017
If you’re a tennis fan, traveling to watch professional tennis live is an incredible experience. The pace of the game, pure striking of the ball and the raw athleticism is awe-inspiring. 2017 was one of the most entertaining years for both the ATP and WTA Tours in recent memory: Federer and Nadal (somewhat unexpectedly) won all four Grand Slams making the ATP tour the #fedal show, Maria Sharapova came back with a vengeance after her suspension, The Laver Cup was launched (and certainly lived up to the hype) and Serena Williams won the Australian Open while pregnant. If the drama, triumphant moments and dynamic rivalries of the past year have inspired you to travel to events in 2018, we’ve created the ideal resource for you.
Below you will find a comprehensive list of all the big tournaments from January to June with trip planning links telling you where to buy tickets, where to stay, where to eat and explore and a list of local courts if you’re planning on playing tennis yourself. Our research indicated that some of the events are already close to selling out, so it’s advisable to pull the trigger on bookings as soon as possible.
