Tennis trip : Pacific Life Open or Sony Ericsson Open ?

Question

I am planning a 1-week tennis trip to attend one of these two tournaments. Where should I go ? Key Biscayne or Indian Wells. Which tournament is better? Why? Which city will I enjoy the most?

Answer 1

I've been to the Pacific Life Open in Indian Wells and can tell you that there you can get really up close to the players (especially on the practice courts). I got over 20 autographs on my big yellow autograph ball! The city itself is pretty boring, but it's quite hot and there's lots of pools. The electricity windmills are also quite the site to see. Hope that helps!

Answer 2

I've only been to Pacific Life Open. In the area, you can also do the following in addition to watching some great tennis:

- Tour Joshua Tree National Park
- Go shopping at the nearby outlet stores (I spent a lot of money there last time I went)
- Check out the windmills
- Play golf (a lot of nice courses there)
