What to Do?
There's plenty to do in Cleveland between matches. Check out the following links to some of Cleveland's attractions, clubs, shopping and restaurants.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
The striking I. M. Pei design is a worthy testament to the subject matter: bold, modern and controversial. Once you enter the glass-encased shrine, however, the only issue is how to sample six floors and six decades of rock memorabilia in a single visit.
House of Blues
(concert listing will be published as tournament nears)
Beachwood Place
Area's largest shopping mall, located about 10 minutes from the Racquet Club.
