In August, you can see players like Coco Gauff or Novak Djokovic just by driving a few hours from Chicago to one of the premier events of professional tennis.
Coco Gauff, of the United States, celebrates match point against Karolina Muchova, of the Czech Republic, during the women’s singles final of the Western & Southern Open tennis tournament on Aug. 20, 2023, in Mason, Ohio.
Last year, it featured not only Djokovic and Gauff, who hoisted the winners’ trophies, but 2023 Wimbledon champ Marketa Vondrousova, 2024 Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka, and American Taylor Fritz, who raised his profile by winning a title while being featured in the Netflix documentary series “Break Point.” Also there were this year’s French Open champions, Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz.
For most of the tournament, players can be seen practicing or competing on any of the fan-accessible courts from morning to night. This year’s main field includes 56 men and 56 women in the main singles draw. Next year, it will expand to 96, going from nine days to 12. But you can have it all, and on the same day. One pleasure of tennis tournaments is the freedom for fans to move from one match to the next when the urge strikes. If a player who catches your interest is taking the court at the same time as another player you want to see, you can scratch both itches, watching one match for a while before migrating to the other. If a contest proves dull, you can seek out a livelier one.
The ticket options are fairly simple. You can buy a reserved seat in Center Court, which also grants you access to every other court. Or, on the day of the session you’re attending, if Center Court has sold out, you can go to the box office to buy one of a limited number of grounds passes, good anywhere but Center Court. Multiday packages sell out months in advance.
