The Sport Chek Face-Off was absolutely incredible! I enjoyed every minute of it. To see Roddick playing Tennis has always been a dream of mine and I'm glad I had this opportunity before he retired. To see greats such as Serena, Radwanska and Raonic as well was an unforgettable experience I will always remember.
Hi Just wanted to say it was a wonderful event and I really enjoyed it. I have only one suggestion, and that would be to have mircophones on the players! Andy was very entertaining and you knew that he was talking to the fans but we could not hear what he was saying to us. Other wise it was awesome!
The tennis by the four pros was entertaining and high quality. But I did not enjoy the pre-show mock tennis. I have absolutely no interest in watching people who barely know how to play tennis - just because they might be someone who is a TV personality? Please tell the organizer to stop doing that or find celebs that can actually play (e.g. Hayden Christensen or Matthew Perry).
Good entertainment. But could spend a little less time on the celebrity portion.
We had a great time!! The tennis was very good yet lighthearted by times. Really enjoyed Roddick's impersonations. The only negative I have is that it would have been even better had the players had microphones. Quite a bit of the banter was missed and we had great seats. 8th row.
The tennis with the four major stars was fantastic ! The entertainment was tereffic, especially from Roddick doing other tennis stars imitations.
A totally enjoyable event. A great show of tennis. Memorable moments
When you pay to see a tennis exhibition, you never know what you are going to get. Obviously it wasn't going to be high-intensity, cutthroat tennis, but the two feature matches weren't bad. I was a little concerned that Serena wasn't giving her best effort, falling being 0-5 in the first set, but then she picked up her game. There was some excellent shot making in both matches. The exhibition doubles match with the pros and the local "celebrities" went on about 20 minutes longer than it should have. All in all, it was a good night.
Too much time spent on the 'celebrity' component. For out of towners not many of the celebrities were 'household' names. Would have been better to have Roddick and Raonic miked so we could have enjoyed their comments. Overall enjoyed the evening and seats in Section 115 provided great viewing.
I enjoyed the matches; however, although Serena is my favourite player and is the greatest female player currently, I was a bit disappointed in the lack of effort by her especially in the first set. I guess, since this was an exhibition match, she did not put out as much effort as she would in a grand slam. If she did, it would definitely have not been much of a competitive match as Radwanska is not in the same league as Serena.
This event was very entertaining and also included some great tennis from the four professional participants. The whole thing was quite casual and it was interesting to hear what the players were saying and to see the impersonations.
The players showed their talent well and put on a great show. Lots of banter from Roddick and some great shot making all around.
Very entertaining and great to see athletes in such a personal environment. Loved being able to see stars that close up. Great display of athleticism. Perhaps next time put microphones on the stars/players so we can hear their banter/discussion.
Would have preferred players to have been "miked" or directional mikes used so it could be fed to the crowd what their comments were.
Had lots of fun watching great players play. Serena didn't push herself though. ACC atmosphere is always fun.
My wife and I, plus another couple - all tennis players and fans - got great seats for this event. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. It was entertaining, 'exhibited' many moments of awe-inspiring tennis - and very well presented. It was so great to see these tennis greats in a relaxed environment, far away from the circuit and its pressures. It showed them to us in a very different light! Awesome! It is fantastic to see major tennis stars devoting personal time to this kind of event, in support of tennis related causes. The Players seemed to be right in it, and adding the celebs to the mix for the doubles event, was hugely entertaining. Our thanks go out to all of them.
Match was good, but the ACC needs to do crowd control. Whether a tennis match is exhibition or master series, they need to have security allow crowds into their seats during change odd games, as they do at Rexall Center. Every 5 minutes someone was getting up from their seat or coming down, and you could not watch the match. It was visually and noise distracting. And for this reason, I would not buy a ticket again. I went to the women's hockey last night at ACC...and it was the best hockey game i have seen in 10 years ! Go CWHL !!!! I will now support Women's Hockey over tennis events and NHL...Better sport to watch all round !
I ENJOYED THE SHOW IT WAS FANTASTIC AND THE PLAYERS AND THE HOST DID A GREAT JOB
If you love tennis DO NOT GO TO THIS EVENT NEXT YEAR! The first hour was with so called celebrities who could not play, and the pros who could not care. They fake having fun and the tennis was beyond boring. The women's match was also boring. They played at half the normal speed. The only good part of the event was the men's single, but by then you had to sit through over two hours of lousy tennis and lots of screeming from the officials to make it seem as if this was a great event.
Would have been even better with less Celeb games.
