US Open!!!

Wow....Watching the US Open Women's Finals live at Arthur Ashe was definitely a great experience. Loved the crowd, the drinks, the freebies, the posters, the food....everything about the place was fun and sporty. Next time though we would book for the Men's finals!

Everytime we go to Arthur Ashe, its the same heady feeling that takes me over. In 2005, I got a chance to watch the 3rd round ...even then it was the women's match:-( ha ha...It was very unfortunate that day cause, the very next day Sania Mirza was to play the 4th round! Such a close miss! But all of us...we were a group of 6, got a chance to show our patriotism on NDTV....never knew if it was telecast or not though...lol;-)

Its so nice to be among a huge crowd...everyone having come to enjoy their evening watching 2 great sports  persons play their favourite game. The only dampening factor was the weather. Had it not been a bit chilly it would have been more rewarding. But matches played by women for some reason gets over too quickly. Its not the days of Martina and Steffi anymore! Have seen some of their matches go on and on. So, next time it is Men's Finals!
