Has anyone been to the tournament in Cincy just prior to the US Open? I'm thinking of taking my 80-yo mom as we've watched tennis together our entire lives but haven't been to a proper pro tournament together before.

Hotels seem reasonable and I'm assuming tickets to the quarters and semis would be doable. Any advice here or another site where I could go to get tips and strategies for tickets?

Watching last year there seemed to be a decent amount of available seats even for the later rounds.

I went a few times as a kid. I think I last went in 2011 and 2017. It's relatively easy to get around. You should be able to find hotels, even if Kings Island is packed. I think I have typically stayed off of I-75, like a Holiday Inn near the IKEA and Top Golf. Looks like there is a Marriott and Courtyard over there, too. There are some hotels just a bit south in Sharonville, too. Over on I-71, you're closer to the park and tennis center, but there is probably less availability.

Keep an eye on what matches you'll get each session. I did Friday night and Saturday afternoon in 2017. I think that was a women's and men's quarter on Friday and two women's and a men's semi in the day session. We didn't bother staying for the third match, which was women's. I don't think they have three matches for Saturday afternoon now. In fact, I am seeing maybe a Monday final? Women's matches complicate planning. Night sessions are better for old parents.
