GUADALAJARA, México — Guadalajara is known around the world as the birthplace of tequila and mariachi music. For the tennis players who come to the WTA 500 tournament, the city is the only stop on the tour where they can soar through the skies before their matches.

Players can also book rides from the airport to their hotel. WTA communications director Alex Prior said it is the only WTA event to offer helicopter shuttles as a regular service.
