I was happy with the event overall. It was a good experience to go to Laver Cup and get to see all the top tennis players. However, since I went to last day of the event, we only saw two doubles matches. Not one single game. The second exhibition match should have been a singles match. This was disappointing and that’s why I gave a 4 star.
Went on final day, saw two set doubles game to decide winner. Never saw a singles game. Then saw a doubles game that was not part of tournament. So many empty seats lower level. Full upper level. Made no sense.
What a great 3 days of fantastic tennis, seeing the great Rod Laver, Roger Federer and all the amazing tennis players of The World vs Europe! Wish it wouldn’t have been such a trouncing of Team Europe, as I missed out on seeing a singles match on Sunday. The Raonic Eubanks vs Fokina Fils match however was thoroughly entertaining! 🎾♥️🎾♥️🎾
Paid for a full Sunday session, saw one competitive doubles match, before the competition was over. Watched a muted trophy presentation followed by an exhibition match to try and make up for the lack of anything meaningful. So no, this was not a worthwhile experience, especially for the price of tickets.
Overall I do not know what more Vancouver and the local organizers could have done better. The lay out was great, lots of vendors and good vibe. Issue was that the worlds best players just did not show up. The original ticket prices were very high and I suspect ticket sales were poor until resales became available. Personally I bought my tickets on resale and the special deals from BC Tennis and Rod Laver birthday special. But great job to the organizers, I think you pulled it off. One match that mattered on Sunday was too bad, but not your fault. I won’t be travelling for this event.
Fantastic to be at the tournament for the last day, very exciting and thrilling tennis by both Europe and World teams, very close final match. It would have been better value for money if we could have seen another two or three matches after World hit their 13 points as it was all over in a couple of hours! Still, it was wonderful to see pro tennis players in action and Captains Borg and MacEnroe. Missed Roger though, where were you?! Can we please have the Laver back again soon?
Vancouver 2023 Laver Cup was amazing. I enjoyed the games so much. Everything was perfect in Rogers Arena. The staff were very kind and friendly. The lightings were fabulous. It was an extremely fantastic experience to see the worldwide top tennis players in a single event. Best experience ever, unforgettable!
A great opportunity to see some of the best players in the world, but we did not even know some of them. All doubles format is disappointing. Tsitsipas never showed up, but then, we left early. It just doesn't seem like fierce competition as in the Grand Slams.
Absolutely loved everything about the Laver Cup.It was a truly excellent event.
If you haven’t seen professional tennis live you are missing out. The Laver Cup was a wonderful introduction for my wife and I of the excitement of the game. I hope Vancouver will continue to bring this level of tennis to the city.
Disappointed not to have some tennis fun stuff in the concourse. The sound from the benches was very hit and miss, connection had a lag when changing channels and even when it worked the arena sounds meant you couldn’t really hear the bench talk.
The laver cup was an amazing event. the tennis absolutely fantastic and Rogers arena preformed admirably. Lots of women bathrooms always necessary. Easy entrance and exit, lots of staff at the ready. Only issues, prices of food and lack of water bottle fillers.
The Laver Cup was a fantastic experience. The venue was excellent in terms of watching tennis and the amenities and food. The players were fabulous to watch and played at a very high level, even the ones I was not as familiar with. The only thing that should be changed is making spectators leave between the day and night sessions. The weather in Vancouver was cool and rainy, so there should have been some kind of restaurant or lounge on the grounds (outside the venue) to visit to pass the time indoors while waiting. Another suggestion: change the video opener for the sessions. It was great seeing it once or twice, but seeing the same video five times was too many.
Best event ever! I am hoping the success of the Laver Cup will inspire tennis Canada to host more tournaments in Vancouver. All of the matches, the venue set up - everything was incredible.
First of all, I’m a huge tennis fan so the Laver Cup was a big deal. Not my first tennis major event so I can actually make comparisons. There’s no doubt there was some tennis talent but the event itself had very little vibe. No doubt having the likes of Alcaraz and Djokovic missing from Team Europe was a big factor, but having the event a week after Davis Cup matches was probably bad timing for the big names. The Roger Federer interview was the highlight, worth waiting until 10:30 PM for that! My biggest complaint was the venue and pricing. The sound on the screen was out of sync with the actual game play. You could hear the ball strike in real time and moments later hear the strike on the audio. Tennis is a quiet sport, that sort of thing is really noticeable. Same goes for on court interviews, it was like watching a badly dubbed movie, so annoying, best to avoid looking at the screen! The Laver Cup emails touted that "you could listen to the commentary from the benches by logging onto the Arena wifi and scanning a QR code". Instructions would be available once you’re in the venue. First of all, the wifi is so bad that it kept crapping out. Secondly, even the ushers didn’t know where the QR code was. There were no postings around the arena, and the code that they put up on the video screen was definitely not detectable by my phone from that distance. Eventually I found an usher who had the code on a scrap of paper so I was fully able to experience the crackly, delayed feed. You would think that a venue that has the name "Rogers"plastered all over it would have functioning wifi, especially given that cell signals can’t penetrate the concrete walls. All this for a mere $350 a mid range seat, most of which seems to be fees and taxes. I doubt anyone reads these reviews, so if you did, thank you.
I bought tickets for the Laver cup as soon as it was announced thinking that I would get to see Novak the greatest Alcaraz the next greatest, then Medvedev, Zerev etc. So none of them came and so I feel after the initial excitement when Federer, Nadal and Novak took part the Laver cup is now a very high priced second rate tournament. My tickets were expensive and I paid the same for seats for a full day at Roland Garros and the food and the amenities were great. Rogers Arena didn't even have a decent cup of coffee and the only selection was cheap fast food. I would never go to the Laver Cup again and also Rogers Arena. I was happy to see Johny McEnroe and Bjorn Borg legends in the sport.
Enjoyed the tennis but was disappointed in the lack of top Europe talent available. Sat in the upper section and could not see the screen properly because the light apparatus was blocking a good portion of it. This was pretty bush league that the stadium could not figure this out properly.
Wonderful tennis, great venue. People in the stands saw less of Roger than people watching tv. No other commercials desired. Not enough merch. Sizes sold out. Only one stand with the speciality sponsored drink. Line ups Saturday were too intense. Seat views were good. Would’ve been very nice to have Roger’s interview in between day and night session Friday so afternoon people might access it. Was disappointing to miss it. Overall a must see event. In future years make sure there is incentive for top players to show by increasing prize value and/or perks and scheduling. Maybe a few more prizes overall. The 50/50 draw a bust
The tennis players were not as good as I expected. Also between the games I would prefer to see more visual and musical / dance shows. Due to the facts above, the tickets price was too high.
What a great atmosphere! It was well organized and just so much fun! Please bring more tennis events to Vancouver!
