Having played both PPA San Clemente and APP Newport Beach recently, I’m still shocked about conditions players have to deal with at these tournaments. The venues are so overcrowded and parking a nightmare and port-a-potties…. Not permitted to use indoor bathrooms at Lifetime in San Clemente. Hours of waiting in between matches at both events, but at least with APP losers can still come back around to gold medal round. And we pay a lot for this! Conditions need to improve. A player shouldn’t have to spend 10 hours on site getting to gold round and all the while scrambling to find a court to warm up on for 5-10 min. There’s a lot of room for improvement!

Great point Beth!! If you're paying for it especially, the conditions should definitely improve for players. Maybe have designated player parking and have the fans shuttle in from outside parking lots. Either way, it seems these venues will have to change as well to accommodate these tournaments
