London’s Royal Albert Hall has hosted the BlackRock Masters Tennis every year since the tournament first started in 1997 – with the one exception of 1998, when it was held at Olympia.

One of the most awe-inspiring locations for a tennis tournament, this world-renowned architectural icon is transformed into a gladiatorial tennis arena, resounding with the fans’ cheers and, of course, McEnroe’s tantrums…
