I was talking about Cincy and Toronto. Those are big.
But, "Money Talks".

Toronto:
"Despite a series of rain delays and a string of upsets, tournament director Karl Hale was pleased with the success of the Rogers Cup, which included a record $10.7-million in ticket sales, increased sponsorship, and 151,106 tickets sold.

In my experience, this is probably one of the most competitive sports entertainment weekends we’ve had with [Major League] soccer, the golf, and the tennis on,” Hale said. “Our record ticket sales — and attendance that could have been a record without those rain delays early in the week — show the power of tennis and the power of the stars in tennis.”

Cincy hasn't released official attendance info yet, at least as far as I can find.
