A Guide To Choosing The Right Grand Slam Tennis Hospitality Packages

By:


There are four major tournaments in world class tennis, the Australian Open, French Open and US Open tournaments, and of course, the Championships at Wimbledon. These grand slam tournaments are considered the most important matches in tennis, and attract crowds as big as the prize money. This is a brief guide to each of the grand slam tournaments so you can book the right tennis hospitality packages.

Australian Open
The Australian Open is the first match of the year taking place in January in Melborne. Although the Grand Slam here was originally played on a grass court, since 1988 it has been held on a hard court. Tennis hospitality packages for the Australian Open are in high demand as the tournament is notorious for attracting more people than any other tournament. It is estimated that the revenue from the tournament is worth somewhere is the region of 38 million Australian Dollars.

French Open
The French Open grand slam tournament is held in Paris between May and June and is the second tournament of the year in the tennis calendar. Purchasing tennis hospitality packages for the tournament will guarantee close up views of some of the most demanding tennis action in the world. The clay court is said to be the most difficult court to play on in the world, and as such guarantees the largest worldwide broadcast audience in Tennis.

Wimbledon
The Championships, held in Wimbledon, is the most prestigious tennis event in the world and the only grand slam tournament to be played on a grass court. Tennis hospitality packages for the Championships are as much about experiencing English traditions of afternoon teas and strawberries and cream as they are about watching world class tennis. Another Wimbledon tradition is set to be a thing of the past however; the installation of a retractable glass roof means that there will be no more calls of 'rain stops play'.

US Open
The US Open is played on a hard court, and is held in the autumn each year as the final instalment of the Grand Slam tournament calendar. Held in new York, the tournament attracts as many as 24,000 people to the stadium, and many more are reached through airing the tournament on prime time television. The US Open differs from the other grand slam tournaments in only one way; rather than the finals continuing until someone wins by two games, the American tournament has a tie break finish.
