Scott Dunlop: BNP Paribas Open – A Great Fan Experience

The BNP Paribas Open in La Quinta California may be the best value in tennis for spectators.

It is one of only a few major tournaments where the women play at the same time and place as the men. It goes on for over ten days and usually has the top players. It is played in a beautifully designed tennis garden with all the right amenities. Tickets are available at the event or can be purchased from season and box holders directly or through ticket agents at many resorts and tennis clubs around the area.

If you get a chance, it’s definitely worth a visit!

Update on UK Tennis Situation with Master Louis Cayer
March 25, 2020

I would like to share a mindset I instil in all the players I coach, one I believe has greatly influenced all of the player’s performances; “whatever happens, I can handle it.” This mindset is achieved through a systematic, tactical development process, so that whoever the opponent, whatever the surface, regardless of the environment, or scoring, the players can, and will rise to the challenge as it is presented.
