Bruh as someone from socal desert I can tell you. Indian wells is set during the good months. If it was anytime during June-Sept humidity and the heat would destroy the players lol
I wish pros had to play in that type of heat.
As a consumer, I want to see pro athletes push themselves to the brink of injury and death for my pleasure.
@@MarkSansait that'd definitely be interesting to watch cuz even those of us who grew in this weather can barely stand it. I could barely stand it in soccer and I definitely hate it in tennis lol
I love playing under the lights in the heat. Yes it is hot but you don't have the sun baking you. Early morning before 10 am is nice too.
@@MarkSansait wish you get a partner like your mindset lol 😆 😂
@@MarkSansaitYou're sadistic af 💀
Honestly this is such great content. More in depth stuff from a tournament that’s happening right now! It is a highly favored tournament for all players on tour so this is pretty cool to see. Beautiful shots on the Bublik form even though we all hate him right now for taking out Murray 😭
Lmfao I miss Bubliks neckbeard
someone buy this man some chapsticks!
I road tripped down in 2019 for 3 days and the best vacation I have ever been on! enjoy mark! I agree the proximity to pros and being able to see the nuances in pros is so underrated.
I seriously want to go every year!
hey same, maybe we met
My best friend is a retried teacher and a linesman. I've followed him all over (getting comp tickets) to LA, Cincinnatti, Miami and New Haven many times each, Long Island, Mahwah, Schenectady, Binghamton, Newport (several times) Indianapolis, the US Open every year until Covid.....and a private match between Courier and Sampras in a hangar on Long Island.....Sampras pays his rent-a-plane bill by doing the match for free.....actually, I have to pay for the Open (except once he got me tickets from a friend) but the others were all comps...I did this for 25 years. Once I drove down from NE Connecticut with a wealthy tennis friend (former banker) who had private courtside seats at the Open. It must have been about 110 degrees and I was melting, but I couldn't complain because I had courtside seats at the Open for free! The guy was an amateur singer of showtunes...he had a nice voice and would put on little performances around the area. When we arrive at the Open, first day...everything all shiny, clean and waiting to go, he turned and looked at me, and said, "Joe, it's Brigadoon!", which is a funny comment most of you won't get. Brigadoon was a hit musical in the 50s or 60s, about a magical land that existed once every 100 years, but only for one year....the Open, and really all big tournaments, are like that. They are relatively dull places that come to life once a year for that magical time when the ATP and WTA show up...Everything is clean and shiny, the food vendors are stocked an ready to go.....all the many attendants are dressed up in their uniforms.....and all the beautiful tennis fans show up...tennis fans tend to be intelligent, well-behaved, interesting people...rowdyism, or even arguing, is basically, unheard of. Great place to meet people.....
I was there yesterday! Saw Nick Kyrgios at the practice court and he was talking to the crowds and trying to entertain us during the practice session. Fantastic experience!
Wow, I've never seen an "on the grounds" type of video of Indian Wells. It definitely rivals the US Open in terms of how big the event is.
I havent been to the US Open...
yet
@@MarkSansait it's the only one I've ever been to. Attending all of them in person is on my bucket list!
I've always wanted to see the "behind the scenes" on the bigger tennis tournaments. Much appreciated! Do you plan on attending the Cincinnati 1000 Tournament this year?
Depending on my PTO (vacation schedule), yeah!
Werd. Indian Wells & Cincinnati are goated tournaments. I feel like players like it more than the US Open. Honestly US Open being in Flushing, NY (where I grew up at) is not such a great location & gets real crowded & congested quickly when it comes to transportation. I was there for the NY Open which is in Nassau, NY which is more spacious & outside the city area. Sadly they had to cancel the whole thing altogether bc the pandemic ruined them economically. 😢
@@UchihABitachi I think culttennis did a VERY good documentary on that!
@@MarkSansait it’s pretty sad. I even have a NY Open t-shirt from the time I was there to commemorate a time before “they will never financially recover from this”
6:03 behind you on the right of the screen is Michael Russel and Lily Russel! I spoke to Lily when she was in Melbourne earlier this year
Yep, the practice courts are great. I saw Nadal practicing with Tsitsipas, Tiafoe, Medvedev, Rublev practicing with Karatsev, Halep, Berrettini
Awesome video Mark! I recommend bringing some Chapstick next time 😎
After you said “Don’t just go to tenniswarehouse” at 5:21, i thought that was Chris in the back who started following you haha
It was good seeing you at Palm Springs during our national tournament!
Good seeing you too!
LMFAO they sent a hit on me, but couldnt complete it because it was being vlogged.
Glad you got to enjoy tennis paradise Mark! I was out there Sunday and may go back for some semi-finals later this week. We’re definitely spoiled with the nice tennis-friendly weather 11/12 months.
Another tip, at the smaller courts, know where the players enter, that's where they'll also exit and they walk the grounds to the locker room amongst the people. Great for the kids who want an autograph or if you want that selfie with a player. Saw Diego, sabalenka, monfils, halep, all up close. Can't say enough about the practice courts, but this is best during the first few days since everyone's still there. Probably won't see the super stars like Rafa on the grounds tho. That would get too crazy.
Bublik is a fun guy to watch. Really interesting and smart player.
tall and lanky MF!
Carmex is really good for dry lips😅
Hahaha I didn’t know Cali was that dry.
*smiles in cracked lips*
I was down there monday - thurs. Friday is when the big crowds start for the weekend. I usually stay on the practice courts mon and tues, and wed- thurs stadium courts 3-5 where you can sit down low with the grounds pass. Really great weather this year. Keep up the great content. Unfortunately this is the only pro tourney to see atp players in California, so I try to make the 7 hour drive every year if I can.
Too bad we didn't run into you! Indian Wells is a blast! The practice courts and the smaller stadiums are so much fun, because you are able to get so close.
Next time!
Agreed. I like to watch as many matches in stadiums 7, 8, and 9 as I can. It was weird that stadium 8 was used just as a practice court - no main draw matches. Stadium 2 is good as well.
lol I know you caught a solid buzz with that sake 😅
Thanks for posting. My husband and I do Cincy every August. Our 50th bdays are coming up, and we are between Indian Wells and Miami for a getaway. This helps!
Excellent review, thanks Mark! Sounds like this in one of your favorite pro tournament venues you've ever been to?
TBH just Western and Southern
What kind of camera were you using for this video- it looked nice
The one where the audio was more "full"..
Sony A7C with a Sigma 16-35mm f/4 for the vlogging portion.
The one where the audio was more "muted"..
GoPro Hero 10 Black with Media Mod
@@MarkSansait Have you been happy with the Hero 10? Do you use that for most of your hitting and match coverage as well?
Have attended 11 of these tourneys. Sacramento to Palm Springs in 2.5 hours in my plane. 11 hour drive!
I want to attend every year
Dam I’m in Arizona and never been here. Sounds like it’s worth a visit!
AZ is fun as hell too!
Came for Indian Wells, left with some info about mountains lol
you know what else is a mountain?
Dominic Thiem's @$$
Nice bumping into you bro! Looks like you had a packed day there but I'd definitely go back to visit again too. Who was your favorite player you watched though 👀
Lmfao Opelka totally slaps the ball so hard
Great job!!!! I’m attending for the first time tomorrow and this is helpful
DO NOT give up the secrets of the practise courts
I’ve been there a couple times and this is a nice summary of the experience. Well done.
I saw Federico Delbonis shopping at the nearby Big 5 today. I said hello. Looks like he is out of the tournament in singles and doubles.
Where the link to the legal trouble video ?
go back to to that part (around 5:00), i put the card up
@@MarkSansait nice 👍🏾 got your back!
Great video, hope to make it there one day. S. La. summers are BRUTAL to play in
def!
Cold and windy especially cold in the night time! Get a puffer jacket or heavy hoodie to wear until the end of the tournament! Cold, cold, cold!🥶
It’s a two-week tournament but men’s singles matches are best of 3. That makes it less rigorous than a G.S. Why do people then suggest it could be the 5th G.S.?
Mark, nice to meet you at the TW demo court. I have some good video of you hitting. I'll share it with you for let's say a set of strings?😀. You can use it for this video.🤝
This video has me very excited about attending one day.
I invite you come to the National Bank open in Toronto this August. I’ll hook you up.
those straight to black edits are kinda hard to watch. jarring. great video though. I was there at that one, you covered it well
Best Vlog in a while!
Thanks fam!
great vid. Mark
That transition tho
:)
Really cool video!!
Time to move to SoCal?
its beautiful, but expensive :)
Hell no stay away. Come and visit but don’t come here to live. We have enough homeless snowflakes here.
if you are in indian wells, let's hit!! i'm also around LA area until 22nd.
Miami next?
Your sensor needs cleaning when shooting f5.6 and above.
haha thanks for pointing it out. I just cleaned it after reading your comment :)
I thoroughly enjoyed this video!
Been a while since Johnson was 54
Doubles ranking I believe
That is amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Great video!
Thank you!
Would do anything to leave Ohio and experience that weather! Come to Ohio and drink some bourbon bro
Im down.
@@MarkSansait let me know.
Lol did TW recognize you, pull up and try to shake you down? 🤣. They’re like hey look who it is… it’s that Mark guy we sued.
they required a cavity search.
@@MarkSansait lmaoo!! That is the least we can expect from such a MASSIVE company. 😫
lol
I'm in the video!
Nice!
noice
You need a lip balm man!!!
👍
:)
Look like Chinese from China 😢
Wimbledon is much better tho but Indian Wells is beautiful too
