Pacific Life Open Tennis

The Pacific Life Open Tennis Tournament was held in the Palm Springs area of Indian Wells during our stay in Indio. It was located only about 2 miles from our RV park.

Being the tennis lovers that we are, we HAD to go! Joni has been to 1 tournament (the Virginia Slims in Dallas) many years ago, but Delton has never been to one before.

The facility was beautiful and the day was warm. See the overview of the facility. This picture was taken as we exited center court.

There were 6 courts for play. Pictured is center court from the nose bleed section, where we were seated. We watched Nadal (number 2 seed) play Young (unseeded). Nadal won but Young gave him a good match. (Pictured on center court close-up)

Was also watched some doubles play and then went back to center court to watch some women's singles, Davenport vs Chang. They went 3 sets with Davenport winning.
We had a great day. Federer didn't play the day we were there. We were disappointed that we didn't see him. But, we watched some the tournament on TV.
