I love the US Open and attend every year.
Unfortunately, my 2011 experience has been a washout. All three sessions were either canceled or delayed so badly by rain, I didn’t bother to make the trip to Flushing.
I was tempted to blog my frustration, but realized you had heard that all before during a similar rainy stretch in 2009. So I kept my mouth shut.
(You’re welcome.)
But I can’t not mention the fact that I was lucky enough to get a ticket to today’s Men’s Final between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal!
SCORE
I know that moving the final to Monday probably means a lot of people couldn’t attend the match, hence the large number of seats at resale. These are seats that weren’t available before the tournament began.
I’m pretty stoked. I’ve never been to a final before. And I am a HUGE fan of the Joker.
So, if you watch the match today, look for me in Arthur Ashe. I’ll be the tiny dot way up in the promenade section, having the time of her life.
Love lost
It’s no secret I love US Open tennis.
And I don’t mention this to make anyone jealous.
It’s just that this week – today, in fact — they are holding the US Open Qualifying matches at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center in Flushing.
The matches are free and open to the public — FREE — and I’m not in town. So now the shoe is on the other foot.
I’m the jealous one.
Oh well, work is always better with tennis on TV in the background!
