The organizers of the ATP tournament in Almaty deserve all the praise for the top-notch execution of the event, showing that hospitality can be taken to a whole new level. In addition to impeccable working conditions in the press center, which allow us to report seamlessly from the matches, the hosts made an effort to show us the beauties of their city.
One day, a few hours before the tennis program started, they took us on a tour of the main sights of Almaty. Our first stop was the Central State Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan, whose monumental building with a recognizable blue roof preserves the rich history of this region.
After the cultural enrichment, we headed to the famous Kok Tobe hill, reached by cable car. The beautifully landscaped viewpoints offer an incredible, surreal panoramic view of the entire city of Almaty and the surrounding mountains. For thrill-seekers, there is also the famous mountain roller coaster (Fast Coaster), whose spectacular track descends directly down the steep slopes of the hill.
To complete the story of this great event, we will soon add photos of the magnificent Almaty Arena to the gallery. You will be able to see what this modern sports complex looks like from the outside during the day and under the night illumination, but also feel the atmosphere from the inside, right from the center court where the matches are played.
