Fascinating Day Watching US Open Tennis
1) It's on tomorrow. Andy Roddick versus Rafa in one of the quarters, Isner in the other versus Andy Murray. Should be really good. Two Americans playing on 9-9-11. And maybe two Americans in the final on Monday?
2) Ask for the trainer again Djokovic when you're not really hurt and the crowd will, should, turn on you. We don't do that in America. You wanna learn about mental toughness? Ask New Yorker and US citizen Mr. Ivan Lendl what it takes to make it on Broadway.
3) Chrissie's dress? Breathtaking.
4) The players are angling for a union. That's a good thing for them, and for everybody. Curt Flood and Marvin Miller started a floodgate of dollars into major league baseball. A union can only be a good thing for tennis. Don't fight it so hard, management.
5) Hilarious to hear the jets roaring over the grounds this morning. "We'll show you who's boss" says New York City.
5) The most lucrative sporting event on the planet needs to be better run. Clearly a dome or roof is needed over Arthur Ashe Stadium. And the unnecessary delays in getting the Roddick match started reflect poorly on the tourney organizers. Come on, man. This is big. This is the Open. It can be better run.
7) Serena Williams is a glorious sunbeam of a woman. I am rooting for her in a big way. She is class, niceness, and a fighter. She and her sister are America.
