The 2023 China Open will be held at the National Tennis Center from September 26 to October 8. Recently, the lineup has been announced one after another, Spain's Alcaraz, Poland's Swiatek and other tennis players are all listed, and Chinese Tennis Association's Zheng Qinwen and Shang Juncheng will participate at home.
Today (23rd) is only 3 days before the official start of the Chinese Open, and the courts and facilities of the National Tennis Center have been renovated and ready to welcome players and fans.
Eat, drink and enjoy the charm of tennis
Coming to the Chinese tennis to watch the game, shuttling between the various courts countless times a day is a normal operation. Beijing has low humidity, strong wind, and high temperatures during the day, so don't forget to replenish water in time.
The dining options in the China Net Park are more abundant than in previous years. The main entrance of the audience, the newly built dining complex opposite the South Square, can be used for dinner, dates and rest. There are dedicated dining areas on either side of the aisle of C Hall. Snacks and drinks are available at the entrance of the Diamond Court in all directions, with coffee, tarts, roast chicken, hot dogs and many other options, and there are also gourmet tents near the Lotus Field.
If you are tired of watching the game, or don't know where to go when there is no game, you can visit the sponsor area of the South Square and the leisure area of the West Square, which is also the favorite place for many children. And in this area, you may encounter players holding autograph parties.
Sun protection and warmth Summary of experience of senior fans
In addition to preparing your tickets, be sure to take care of sun protection and keep warm. At the end of September and the beginning of October, the temperature difference between day and night in Beijing is very large, and you can wear short sleeves at noon, but you basically have to wear a thick jacket at night, otherwise you may be shivering at the diamond night club. The ultraviolet rays in autumn are still vicious, sunscreen, sun hats, and umbrellas can be carried, but pay attention not to cover the fans in the back row when playing umbrellas.
In addition, daily necessities such as tissues and towels should also be prepared, especially for fans and friends who want to spend a whole day in the park. If you are a fan of star chasing, you can also bring some tennis magazines, big tennis balls or star photos to autograph the stars, and it is not recommended to use a selfie stick when taking photos, because it is easy to poke yourself and other fans.
Newcomers should be familiar with the etiquette of watching the game
When watching the game on the Chinese Open, you need to pay attention to the following viewing etiquette to maximize the charm of tennis without affecting the players and other fans watching the game.
Do not use flash to take photos during the competition.
During non-inter-game breaks and inter-session breaks, do not move around the court at will. If the player is ready to start serving but you haven't found a seat yet, find a seat near you and wait for the next break to come back to your seat.
Don't shout or applaud until a point is over. At the end of each minute, you can give a generous applause.
Do not interfere with players during matches, including talking to players, instructing players to play, insulting players, etc.
If you bring a child to watch the game with you, if the child cries loudly, please leave the venue immediately after this point, calm the child before returning to your seat and continue watching.
