Figured we might want to get this started.
Some tune ups are taking place currently in Winston-Salem & New Haven.
Qualifying started yesterday, and outside of the French, this is definitely my favorite tournament.
The French is last on my list. US Open & Wimbledon are my two favorites.
Oh man, I want to get up there sometime, but it's just a bit of a flight/hotel and I'm too lazy to prepare for all that during this stage of my life.
Going to be my first time since 2013 that I'll not be attending the Open.
Why?
I don't think I have been since 2001. I bought a shirt and saw Agassi lose to Sampras in the quarterfinals. I think that is when I saw Federer playing on one of the side courts
Wasn't able to get Friday off. Too late to request it. I feel like the first Friday/Saturday is the best day to be there. You get to see a ton of matches on the outside courts and there's a lot of competitive matches as it is the 3rd round at that point. I can't do Saturday because I need to be home enjoying opening day of CFB so Friday was my only option
What about Sunday or Monday (Labor Day)?
Not enough action for grounds pass tickets IMO. There are only single matches taking place on 2 other courts during the round of 16 which is what's taking place those days
Seeds are out for the US Open. The highest seeded American Man is Stevie Johnson at #19. Isner is 20, Sock is 26, and Querrey is 29.
What was your (anyone who has attended) favorite live day of attending the US Open, ever, and what matches stood out that day?
So that means there's 4 courts total which have singles matches, right? Two of which require reserved seating and are excluded from grounds pass (Arthur Ashe Stadium; Louis Armstrong Stadium).
And 2 courts which are included in grounds passes, right? (Grandstand and Courts 4 - 17, whatever courts the matches are scheduled on).
Just trying to make sure I understand the setup.
That seems like Isner's lowest ranking in years.
