I thought it was excellent. I wish there were more people. I heard only 3,500 in attendance. It's too bad. The guys played hard and still have game. They had fun and made the crowd laugh some too. Brought back good memories of good times watching those guys.

We had a great time even though it took us 5+ hours to get from Louisville to Indianapolis due to weather. Wish the pros could have signed some autographs. The matches were good though.

I really enjoyed the match and talk of the players. However, the start of the event was delayed almost two hours....it started at 9:30 p.m. It's too late, especially for kids.

There is no question that it is an amazing experience to get to see McEnroe, Lendl, Courier and Sampras play in one night at one venue. However, the event did not start until 9:30 when the tickets stated 7:30. We saw that the court needed to be installed, so we waited. That being said, it was a great night. The players were very fun to watch and showed alot of personality. Sampras was incredible and McEnroe's play defied his years. Would definitely recommend to friends and colleagues. Hopefully they will keep running this tour for years to come.

Got a sitter and rushed through dinner to get to Boston on time so that I could wait 2 hours for it to start.....tennis was good, but very disappointing!

Supposed to start at 7.30pm but was delayed 2 hrs due to the floor hadn't been laid. Apparently lost flooring in Chicago!! Finally it started at 9.30pm. You would have thought that the games would have been in succession due to the delay but 'NO', they had to put in ads and have ball boy competition matches in between. I mean come on seriously. I left my house at a reasonable time to get to the game, having to organise my babysitter to come half hour earlier and then having the delay and finally having to leave before the final match ended as my babysitter had a driving curfew of 12.30am. The poor couple in front of us had to leave during the second match as they had to return to New Hampshire, along with other patrons at the venue. All in all the night was a disappointment I was really looking forward to the entire 3 matches but 'NO'!!!!! There was no compensation, free T-shirts nothing just a rambling host. NOT IMPRESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so confident to have a good time with my son, he loves tenis, i did purchase 3 tickets, got in there in time, and we have to wait 2 hours ,, My son had a nap in the afternoon, because he was going to have a important test next morning, we watch the first mach, but i could see by his face how worried my son was,he just could not wait no longer for the rest of the matches because he has test next morning. \\

The arena wasn't ready when we arrived for the 7:30pm start. They promised we'd roll in an hour and brought out some of the players for chats to help pass the time. But bottom line, no one hit a tennis ball until 9:30pm. We stayed for the first two rounds but had early Saturday plans so had to bail on the final match which was very disaapointing.

The event was great, but the fact that the tennis court was lost somewhere between Chicago and Boston and it started 2 hours late was a real drag. Especially for how much the tickets cost. They did the best they could to manage the situation, it was just difficult to get home at 12:30am with a 9 year old. They should plan a little more time between cities just in case a situation happens like this. They are going to have a lot of complaints since many people didn't stay.

The tennis match started 2 h after it was scheduled to begin. I think that they could have offered the spectators at least a bottle of water during the wait. Our tickets were expensive, and little explanation was offered for why the tennis court was being installed during the first 2 h we were there. Not very professional. The players tried to please the crowd, but they sure don't play like they used to! At least they didn't waste any time between matches. The event did not attract much of a crowd. I won't be back.

So great that every year we get the opportunity to enjoy the great talent of our favourite tennis players. Have said before but wish they wore microphones so that we could hear their comments/jokes more. The 2 hour delay due to flooring problems was a pain for everyone involved especially the players i am sure but they handled it well. Looking forward to next year !

I attended this event last year & found it to be entertaining & enjoyable. This year was another story. Arrived at the Garden at 7:15PM & was told the start time was an hour late-(8:30PM). Turns out they finally came out & the announcer told the crowd that the "flooring" got "lost" on the road & didn't arrive until that afternoon. Long story short we had to sit there & watch them slowly unload it piece by piece. It took over an hr & a half to get it laid out for play. Play finally started at 9:15PM & we took the commuter train in from the burbs & the last train back home left at 10:35PM. We got to see an uninspired match between McEnroe & Lendl before we HAD to leave to catch the last train home. We had to miss the second match & the final so we just wasted our money on those tix. I think they should have offered some sort of refund/ or compensation as they were at fault. It was very poorly run and they had no consideration for the public who spend good money & only got to see a third of the show! Never again!!

Pitiful. Event was supposed to start at 7:30, they lost the court so it was not setup. Event didn't start until after 9:30pm, unfortunately could not stay for the whole event because of the late start. Fail!

We got there at starting time and the tennis court was not yet set up. We had to wait almost two hours for them to put the floor together and get the net set up. The tennis was fair - not exciting and there were too many "commercials" between the games. Wouldn't recommend and I LOVE tennis!

Except for the delay caused by the installation of the court (important to us because we had a 2 - 2 1/2 hour trip to our home), the event was very enjoyable. We had to leave before the last of the 3 matches. However, the level of tennis was wonderful to see - particularly that of Pete Sampras.

Event was an hour & a half late in getting started due to surface being lost in transport from Chicago. What kind of operation is Powershares running here? The intro videos and music played before the arrival of each player was too loud, almost ear-piercing. No need for such noise and glitz. All I want to see is some tennis. The host from Tennis Channel was loud and obnoxious. The commercials shown on the Jumbotron during changeovers were annoying and too loud. All in all, the evening was a complete waste of $145. I will never attend another Powershares event again.

We had to wait 2 hours for the floor to be placed down in order to watch tennis. That was painful. However, the stars only played one set each, and that was really disappointing. We were also led to believe that there would be more players than the four.

I had been looking forward to this even all month. I was throughly disappointed when i arrived on time to NO court on the floor, and a 2 hour delay. It was great to see the legends of tennis play right before my eyes that is why i gave it 3 stars, but to start a tennis match at 9:30pm on a friday night was way to late.

McEnroe is so much fun to watch. He is so gifted and plays with a style that will never be duplicated. Of course, Sampras dominated as his talent is unmatched in this series. It was great to watch... Courier and Lendl were awesome as well!

The event was excellent. It was great to see these 4 guys play. I often now go to the US Open, but these guys had already retired. My only suggestion to improve the event was to have microphones on the court or on the players. The players often interacted with the crowd near them and it was hard to hear them. I think this would have made the experience even better.

The event was great with just the right length. The players were wonderful and the whole event was planned out very well. The only downsides were that you could not hear the players talking to each other (there should have been microphones) so we missed some of the jokes/banter. Also, Jimmy Connors was supposed to play when I purchased the tickets but was substituted with Ivan Lendl (who was just as good). It would have been nice if i was informed of that.

My dad and I went to this event and absolutely loved it. It's nice to see the old legends still have some magic in them! My dad was so happy to have the opportunity to watch some of his favorite players (Jmac!). He never had the chance to see them in person when they were still on the tour and didn't think he ever would. Hopefully Powershares returns next year in some form because Michigan doesn't see many tennis tournaments with this kind of star power. Me and my dad will be back if it does return!

Some gimmicky stuff I've seen before on this tour. Expected more shops, vendors, promotional things,etc. Flyer I received about event was promoting Connors as one of the participants. He was not there, which was disappointing. Poorly run event. I'm a very thin guy and bought a medium tshirt that was described as fitting true to size. It is skin tight and the sleeves are way short. Gonna donate it to charity since it doesn't fit.

I would recommend this Only with reservations: This was largely a staged event for entertainment in the same way WWE is staged. Each player was allowed to show their skills, and for those moments it was a learning environment for those wanting to see those levels of skill. However, why sell the large tennis balls meant for autographs if these old pros don't (and did not) have the time to give signatures.to the my child and others with the same dream?

Enjoyed seeing the greats play tennis again. HOwever, if you are not sitting immediately courtside (we were 5 rows up), you could not hear any of the banter between the fans and players. For most of the match, it felt very average to be sitting there. The players need to somehow wear mics to pick up what is being said out on the court. Also, there was NOT ONE Hawk Eye review, which tells me the technology was not available to use. There were many times it could have been utilized.

I gifted my husband with these tickets for Christmas! We had a blast at the event! A rare opportunity to get up close to these fantastic athletes. They were relaxed and fun to watch, interacting with the crowd frequently! The staff of the Amway are extremely courteous and pleasent and this has been our experience every time we've attended an event! My only complaint is that having done all i could to secure the "best seat" for mh husband- center court on the net- we sat down to have two large tv cameras directly in front of us! Nowhere was there any indication or adjustment for the obstructed view when buying the tickets! Despite this, we gad a great time and i hope more people will support this event in the future!

We enjoyed the PowerShare's tennis event in Orlando. We sat in a very close row. Seeing the pace of serves and play gave us an even greater appreciation of the four players. One comment would be to have microphones that pick up the players bantering and comments to the fans. We could not hear what was said at the other side of the court. Thank you to Jim Courier, John McEnroe, James Blake and Andy Roddick.

This was our second time seeing a PowerShares event, and just as enjoyable this time as last. It is so much fun seeing the stars of yesteryear - well Andy is certainly not that old - how they hit the ball, strategy, etc. The players also had verbal interaction, but it certainly would have been a better experience for all if somehow they could be miked. The people in the front rows could hear what they wear saying, but if you sat farther back, you might hear snipets to understand the general gist of the conversation. What was poor was Ticketmaster sent the event information such as doors open at, parking, other venue information ONE HOUR before the doors were to open. As we live 1 1/2 hrs away, that information did us absolutely no good as we were already on the road. It would have been more beneficial if sent out the day before the event. Amway Center was a great venue. Disappointing was that the restaurants in Amway were not open to the public, only the concession stands.

My very 1st professional tennis exhibition. I had a fantastic time watching my favorite players compete. I was surprised how much game they all had after being retired. John McInroe & Andy Roddick were my favorites. They both put on a great show & John is in fantastic shape at his age. Funny that Roddick complained a lot more than McInroe. LOL. I will most definitely return & bring my friends next year when they return. My center court 200 level seats were very affordable too. Thank you Ticketmaster.

Great way to exhibit former tennis legends. However needs to be more promotion of reasons for exhibition tour and where funds are being donated to. Ticket prices were significantly higher than in past. Embarassing low crowd numbers so pre-event promotion needs significant improvement along with greater local involvement. Event announcer was definitely not from area so maybe local promoter and announcer would be better. Very unhappy that John McEnroe was grumpy and sour-faced during his entire appearance and play, along with dropping the F-word in front of the ball boys and girls which was totally inappropriate, even for him.

Exciting to see these retired tennis pros play--all in one night. Parking was a problem--the buses got caught in traffic and so it was slow getting to the stadium. They did try to rush people through the gates but that didn't leave anytime to get drinks and/or food before play began. Then coming home, we stood in line for over a half hour to catch a bus. This is a long time to wait especially for older patrons. Because they played a total of 3 individual matches, so 3 total sets, it went fast. I would've liked to see more tennis--2 out of 3? And my biggest disappointment was that we couldn't hear the banter of the players--except for those in the box seat "facing the server". That left everyone else wondering what was so funny. These events are supposed to be entertaining and the players play to the crowd. So my suggestion would be to put mics on the players so we all can get in on the jokes--not just an elite few.

My only complaint/opinion is that the "final" match could have been longer, like say 2 outta 3 sets, instead of just one. I understand the semi matches being only one set. The final with Roddick and Agassi only lasted like 20-something minutes I think. Or maybe they could create a special "long set" and call it first one to 8 games, perhaps (?). Other than that, was a great night.

They play one set of semifinals and the winners play a final set. So you get 3 sets of tennis with these stars who've still got it. They also ut on a good show and when they are miked up, it is hilarious. Good tennis, good fun!

This was so much fun. I had no idea what the format was of the playing. They only played singles, thought it would be fun to have a doubles match with all four of them on the court. But it was so much fun to watch. The only thing I wish was that the players could be mic'd. Could not hear a lot of what they said.

The venue and players were excellent. I was disappointed in the size of the crowd. Why can't we get better turnout for tennis in Chicago? The line judges and chair were slightly embarrasing. Obviously they didn't have much experience calling matches. Overall I really liked the event but it needs improvement.

Love the event, but they need to mix up the players. Might want to get tees bigger than a medium. They say they're out by the time they reach Chicago, but I've gone every year and there have been some years when they've had nothing at all. If u want to promote pro tennis in Chicago get gear out so people can see it and ask about it. I'd be crushed if it went away.

My husband and I love tennis and have been to the US open. We got tickets to this event because is was in our hometown, so we figured, why not?? I'm so glad we did! It was super fun, and we loved getting to see Andy Roddick and John McEnroe in person. The crowd interaction was fun, and they played more tennis than I thought they would. I would definitely recommend for any tennis fans!

All three matches at Powershares Challenge in Chicago were terrific and close. Last match between Roddick and McEnroe was the best!! The competitive spirit of all 4 players was apparent - these guys all still want to win! The level of tennis was also amazing! Highly recommend the Powershare events!!

This was not real tennis and the players really weren't entertaining either. It was cool to see some of the greats of the past but the show was a big thumbs down. The place wasn't even half filled so don't spend the extra money on good seats. U can sit wherever you want with so many empties. They should really consider reducing the price of the tickets to get more people in the seats.

I expected more out of mcEnro besides him playing pretty great tennis. Roddick in the first match was funny and entertained the crowd as did Mark and Jim. Johon made no effort to do anything but to play the best tennis he could. honestly if I just wanted to see good tennis I would go watch the us open

Good evening of entertainment for tennis lovers. As a life long tennis fan, it was what I expected: a few hours of nostalgia watching former greats with still superior skills at the game. I have seen matches played by all four players in their prime. Not a bad drop off at all. McEnroe toned down his behavior as behooves one over 50 and has gained a bit more dignity as he as aged--I have always enjoyed his gifts and his brain. The other three are all "good guys" and I have watched them for years. I had superior tickets with friends, and the evening was good fun.

It was a rip roaring fun experience. The boys looked great and still a thrill to watch.

The event was very entertaining and the players really know how to involve the crowd. It was great to see the "TRUE GREATS OF TENNIS" in Birmingham.

We had court side seating so we could hear everything that was being said by the players, and that made it great! I thought that the outcomes may already be decided, but I don't think they do that. It really was a lot of fun!

This was my second PowerShares event. As always, Andy Roddick was great both in his tennis and entertainment value. The entire evening was ruined by John McEnroe. His tennis was average but his attitude was an embarrassment. He refused to interact with the crowd and participate in the post game interviews like his playing partners. There were many young kids with McEnroe tee-shirts who were anxious to interact with him but he ignored them. Don't bother going if McEnroe is involved.

This was my husband's Christmas present. When I gave him the tickets on Christmas his attitude was 'Why did you get me this?' We live in Atlanta and had watched Powershares several times on television. I made reservations for a long weekend at the Charleston Harbor Resort. On the day of the event we drove to Daniel Island where they had signs pointing us to the parking area. We then boarded school buses which took us to the stadium. There was a descent crowd but entrance to the stadium went quickly. We arrived at our seats and my husband beamed and said these are great seats! We sat down and looked around and decided there was not a bad seat in the place. This venue is the perfect size. After the first set Andy Roddick hit some balls with a few of the kids. After the second set James Blake hit some balls with a few of the kids. This was a really cute part of the evening. I saw people with several types of food. One being my personal favorite Chick-fil-A. There were stations where they sold beer and wine and someone said they made a great Bloody Mary.

We enjoyed the Men's Tennis play overall. But parking arrangements were terrible. A confusing 15-20 minute walk from parking lot, or a shuttle bus ride with too few shuttle buses, especially at 10 PM at night after the event. We did not eat at this event. Had a few drinks - overpriced. Also, we are huge John McEnroe fans - he was the main reason we attended. He played his one set match. But he left the court immediately after losing his match without speaking to the crowd. He could have said at least a few words, like Andy Roddick did after losing his one set match. We went to this event primarily to see Johnny Mac, and it was great to see him play. But we were bummed he couldn't take 2 minutes to speak to the crowd.

The event was very flat. Players appeared to not want to participate in the match & with the audience. The event was choppy with no continuity. No microphones to hear the players which was badly needed. Seats were available on the first level when we were told they weren't. People left early because the event was so boring. Players left the courts abruptly after the game, there was no apparent time crunch. We heard many people say the were disappointed & would not return given how boring the matches were. We will not return & we were looking forward to this. We bought 5 tickets. We were told to be there 3-4 hours early! Not needed!!!

They don't really try. No points last more than 4-5 shots. Save your money.

My family had never been to a tennis match before so we decided to give this a try. Keeping this short: we all had such a fun evening! Ate dinner nearby, walked to the stadium. Not a bad seat in the house. We had front row seats in the upper deck and this was a great value for $25/seat. The level of tennis was fast paced and entertaining. All the players also seemed to enjoy the competition. My only negative comment is that even though I'm a huge Mac fan, he was a bit disinterested in interacting with the fans as he usually does while on the court. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. Roddick enjoyed being the big hambone. We hope the tour stops in Charleston again next year.

PowerShares should be renamed PowerNAPS... This was the most boring event I've ever been to. We left 5 minutes after the second match started.. No energy, no excitement, boring in every meaning of the word!! Save your money for the US Open, or something with Tennis Players that are alive.

We were hoping for a quality event but QQQ tennis failed to deliver. There were no line judges and the players were making their OWN CALLS! What? No doubt they were trying to be accurate but a ton of serves were out and called in. It was very frustrating. There was a chair umpire who did keep score but mumbled and NEVER told us the game format. Was it one set, a pro-set, best of three? Etc etc. Yes, we missed game one of event but so did a ton of people because it was snowing. If anything was said it should have definitely been said again and the finals format FOR SURE! The semis (it turned out were one regular set. Okay, fine. But the finals were also one set. Blake wins the first set and we are looking forward to a McEnroe comeback but guess what? The thing is over! Who knew? It was a disappointing event in many regards and we will not purchase QQQ tennis tix again. I usually have good things to say and we do like the Barclays arena but this was an amateur presentation ... good players but badly run and lacked clarity ... and accuracy of calls ... read that as non-existent ... darn

The first of many (I hope) tennis events in the Orlando area. All four tennis players (McEnroe, Blake, Roddick, and Courier) are still in shape, and keep the audience entertained with the game and comments. I was very pleased to find the price for the close-up seats affordable. I will definitely recommend this event in the future.

I'm not a tennis fan and I've never been to a Tennis Match in my life. This was a present for my wife (tennis fan), and we had a lot of fun. Roddick was especially impressive and the joyful nature of the event made it more enjoyable for a 'newbie' like myself.

It was only 3 sets, but some good tennis, as well as some "show." It is a bit like the combo in the Harlem Globetrotters. I had a 3rd row bleacher seat, and could enjoy the views, the comments and the tennis. The cost was a little high for just 3 sets; thank heavens for the USTA member discount. All in all, it was a delightful evening.

We had a fun evening with good seats. However, we were disappointed that we could not hear the players comments as that was to be a highlight of the evening. Perhaps they could install mics on the sideline. Parking was good and well organized

I took my dad to this event as he is a big tennis fan (and I grew up watching McEnroe play). He loved it, and it was quite entertaining. You could tell that the players, though playing seriously, also had fun with it. I would have liked it if the guys wore mics so we could hear their joking to each other (and I was in row 11), but it was still great. Would definitely go again and would love to see other pros in the future.

This was a GREAT sports event. The quality of play was top notch and we hope that this event will continue to be at the Amway Center for years to come. Since the USTA center opened last week this should bring more quality tennis events to Orlando.

Fun night with real good and high level tennis. Only suggestions would be to microphone the players as they talked but we could not hear their banter which looked to be good. Also would have been nice to have a speed gun on the serve as us amateurs would be impressed with the speed.

The players needed to have a microphone because you could not hear any of the player/fan interaction. There could have been a speedgun so that we could see the speed of serves. Seats are very narrow in the UIC which makes it somewhat uncomfortable. Overall though it was fun seeing the tennis greats play.

Had great time at the Powershares tennis tournament. Unless you are there in person, it is really unbelievable how hard they hit the ball. Always fun to have them banter with the crowd also. Love John McEnroe and his witty comebacks. My only suggestion would be to have a section where the players can sign autographs away from the tennis court after the match. Many people rushed up to just take selfies with the tennis players in the back ground (not a real selfie with the person) and didn't have anything to sign but clogged up the path to get up to the player to have them sign something and then the player was done signing and leaving.

This was on my "bucket list"! I wanted to see Andre play live and now I have! And what a wonderful, intimate setting. We were so close to the action. I would do this event over and over and over again!

My father and I enjoyed this event at UIC in Chicago. The venue is small, so even seats in the upper bowl would have been good seats. A couple things that they could do better: 1. The scoreboard operator was not good. The scoreboard was constantly behind by 1-2 points, which was annoying. 2. They should have the players wear microphones. This point of the event is to see the players that you love to watch and get a sense of their personality. This is not a serious competition (although they are playing very good tennis). It would be more fun if we could hear the players talking to each other (especially John McEnroe). Part of the fun is the lighthearted environment. Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to see big name players playing high quality tennis in an intimate setting.

UIC Pavilion has horrible parking! No one tell you where to park, you just drive and find a spot. The spots are made for Smart cars only! I drove 6 people in a minivan and my car got dinged by the car next to me. Only 2 spots to get food! It took over 15 min in line just to get food. But, for a drinker there were 6 spots??? Event was great, facility was terrible!

Very well presented and enjoyable event. I enjoyed the other players, but for me McEnroe's star power, charisma, and tennis style was the draw. He is still playing a very high quality of tennis at age 55.

We very much enjoyed seeing these professional tennis players. We also enjoyed the fun comments made to each other and the crowd. I wish they would have worn microphones so that we could have enjoyed all of the comments. We felt like we missed some of the fun because we couldn't hear well enough.

My wife and I love tennis. The Powershares event in Indy on February. 14th was my surprise gift to my wife for Valentine. She was very pleased. It was impressive to see how the stars produced results now versus at the peak of their careers.
