Presenting Rogers Cup Mens Tennis from American Express

Some tennis fans prefer to watch women’s tennis matches while others like the men’s tennis matches more. If you are of the latter persuasion and happen to be in Canada in , maybe you ought to see if you can score a ticket for the Rogers Cup Men’s Tennis Tournament which is an integral part of the ATP Masters Series. It is not surprising that many of the best of the best in men’s tennis sign up to participate in the Rogers Cup Men’s Tennis tourney because the prize money at stake is pretty substantial (all 2.45 million US dollars of it) so maybe you should see what all the fuss is about and get a ticket too for yourself. The prize money breaks down to 400,000 US dollars for the singles winner while 99,300 US dollars is allotted for the doubles champion team.

The Rogers Cup Men’s Tennis tourney has been graced by the presence of many tennis legends, like Roger Federer, media sweetheart Andre Agassi, Ivan Lendl, Bjorn Borg, and the temperamental John McEnroe (to name just a few.) The Rogers Cup Men’s Tennis tourney has been played every other year since it was founded in 1881, making it one of the oldest ongoing men’s tennis tournaments in the world. The surface used for matches is Hard – DecoTurf.

If you are pretty good at tennis or simply a die-hard tennis fan aged from 12 to 16, there is a way to see the action up close without paying for a ticket actually. How does being an official ball person for the Rogers Cup Men’s Tennis tournament matches sound to you This way you actually get the chance to see the tennis action really, really close – so close that you might get hit by a ball between the eyes if you are not agile enough to dodge an incoming shot. And you might even have the opportunity to get an autograph from or photo with your favorite tennis celebrities when the match is over (unless he lost in which case it might be better to keep your distance to avoid any uncomfortable situations developing.)

Not only do you save yourself the cost of a match ticket, but you will be paid $10 per day that you work as a ballperson – but this will probably go towards your own meals (lunch and dinner.) There is also a ballcrew party you will automatically be entitled to attend after the final Sunday of the Rogers Cup Men’s Tennis matches where you can celebrate with your fellow ball persons your unforgettable experience for that year.

If you had enough money to buy a ticket anyway but got hired as a volunteer ball person, you can always let someone else have your ticket. Being an authentic ball person is glory that you should never pass up because sometimes such opportunities never pass you again. So volunteer while there are still openings and see how you fare.
