I'm going to be in town during the LA Open with a chance to potentially see 2nd round matches and I'm wondering if anyone has any information on the typical tournament schedule. Specifically, how many matches are on in any given session, day or night.

I know I probably wouldn't make it to UCLA until maybe 2PM, so I want to know if a day session ticket would still be worth it or if I should hang on for the night session.

Also, early round marquee matches are always scheduled at night and at least for me, it is not a lot of fun sitting in the hot LA sun watching tennis. I would go in the evening. Also, the UCLA stadium is very intimate, not a bad seat (or should I say bleacher) in the place.

Miles, yes, I saw that link, but I was wondering abut how many matches are scheduled in a typical 1st or 2nd round session, any idea?

Miles, you're such a helpful guy!

Ditto what Miles has said. I vote for the night sessions too - bigger names, especially with the Legends matches going on throughout the week. And not a bad seat in the house.

Thanks Miles, you've been a phenomenal help.
