The Benefits of a Grand Slam Tennis Tour

January 25, 2013 By grandslamgal

Find out why going to a tournament with Grand Slam Tennis Tours is a great way travel.

Great seats mean an un-disrupted close up view

Fantastic Seats 

One the things that makes a huge difference to the experience that you’ll have at a grand slam tournament is how good your seats are.

While it’s true that there are no bad Australian Open seats in Rod Laver Arena (especially in comparison to Arthur Ashe Stadium at the US Open!), having seats closer to the court means you’ll get a better view and be able to take better photos. And you can really hear the whack when the players hit the ball!

Last week I attended the Australian Open with Grand Slam Tennis Tours who have access to fantastic seats, front row in fact.

The seats were right behind where the players sit down during the breaks, which means that’s also the area where the players often throw their towels, sweat bands and shirts to the crowd after a match.

Grand Slam Tennis Tours have been taking guests to the Australian Open for 25 years so they know how the tournament works. Travel packages can be built to fit around your schedule, including flights, accommodation and tennis tickets for all four of the grand slam tournaments.

Other benefits

Other benefits of a grand slam tennis tour include:

  • Welcome dinner with Fred Stolle and other former tennis champions
  • Access to Corporate Bar areas onsite at Melbourne Park (which aren’t as crowded as the public areas)
  • Exclusive tennis academies at Kooyong
  • Melbourne city tours
  • The services of a tour host who is onsite to answer your questions and help if any problems pop up.

You can also add on Day Trips and sightseeing tours around Australia.

A great way to travel

If you’ve ever considered going to a Grand Slam Tennis Tournament with a tour company, or you’re looking for a complete tour package that meets all your needs, contact Grand Slam Tennis Tours.

Until next time
