US Open
Although last year I did a decent job of securing tickets for the 2006 US Open, this year, I just let the Open sneak up on me with no real attempt to check it out.
Luckily, I got a last minute call from my cousin to join them for taking in a night of tennis. The day games that day had run late, but we managed to enjoy a match with Justine Henin vs Serena Williams (who we had also seen last year). And just like the year before, she lost. Next was Ferrer vs Nadal, and although these guys were great (especially the tenacious Ferrer), it was pretty late by then so we left after watching just 1 whole set. Oh well…
I should remember to try to get as close to court-side as possible next year, just to see how it feels.
