  1. …WoW!…Just what Tennis needs???…Another meaningLess Event where an insane amont of $$ is
    awarded to the few who need it the Least…who is
    this Event supposed to appeaL to??…do the greed
    merchants that put this format together really think it would (or should) capture the interest of Fans???…especially in this economy???…it would be ‘one thing’ IF this prize $$$ was the award for winning a Grand Slam or some other
    meaningful Event that is universally recognized
    as the epitome of the sport…not some trashy one night event…why bother with this nonsense??….
    everyone knows the Pro Tennis CaLender is already
    overstuffed…I’m surprised BJK is allowing her name to Represent this silly, meaningLess Event??

  2. Dan obviously did not get his tickets in time. Who wants to blame the economy for ruining a celebration of tennis of this magnitude anyway. I am an avid tennis fan and this is just the thing to make me forget about the state of the economic crisis, even if for only one night. Hope Ana takes it out by the way, she’s great.

  4. Hi ..what an outstanding way to kick off the Tennis in America campaign..I bought tickets very early to be sure to get the best courtside seats..but just learned about the vip event prior to the matches where Billie Jean King and Ivan Lendl will be making appearances…how can i get tickets to get into this….
    thanks Karen

  5. I am so excited about the Billie Jean King night.
    I sure am pulling for Venus and Serena. I wish I had tickets. I think it will be good

  6. I agree with Dan. However, I will still watch it to be honest. That’s fine that these four players make millions from other sources, but perhaps this event should give part of their earnings to NYC communities/programs in need of some financial assistance. Just a thought. At least people that are buying these expensive tickets will feel like they are contributing to their community and not just these already filthy rich and well established athletes.

  7. It’s just tennis for the top 4 players why get ur knicckers in a twist? Bad economy or not life goes on! Copme on Serena and Venus make that dollar! For those who wish to help the community please go ahead and do it, am watching my girls!
