China Open tickets go on sale tomorrow

Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Roddick are just three reasons why fans of top-flight tennis are hoping to make a date with this year's China Open, tickets for which go on sale tomorrow.

Cheaper ground passes give casual fans another excuse to saunter around the sidelines of the $2.1 million men's tournament, or the $4.5 million crown-jewel WTA event, both of which run from Oct 1-11.

"We hope to attract more people to watch the tournament by offering cheaper tickets," tournament director Zhang Junhui said. "So we have more diversified tickets to meet the different needs of fans."
