On Tuesday evening, I met up with Amena and Lena in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park to watch a U.S. Open game in Arthur Ashe Stadium. Since we bought the tickets a few weeks ago, we did not know exactly who we would be playing until just a couple days before the game. We were excited to find out we would get to watch Roger Federer play Roberto Bautista Agut. It was a good game, with #17 rallying, but #3 ranked Federer was fascinating in how he managed to work his way up to the net quite strategically. While we didn't get to rub elbows with Anna Wintour or Sally Fields, who had prime courtside seats, we saw the game quite well when we were not eating chicken fingers and fries or catching up on each other's lives. The second game matched Caroline Wozniacki against Sara Errani, and the match was not so even. In any case, we left mid-match around 11PM to catch the 7 train back home.  |
Next year I'll have to study a bit more on how tennis scoring works and learn what "love" means in the context of scores!
