Nothing beats the experience of a Grand Slam tennis tournament and there is no place like New York City. This was my 17th consecutive year of attending the Open. Much has changed over the years such as bigger crowds and continuous improvements to the grounds, but the one thing the never changes is the quality of tennis on display and the buzz that fills the city when this event is happening. Great people, great players, great atmosphere. Wow!
View from our Midtown NY City hotel room of the Empire State Building, just a few blocks away.
Practice courts are a great place to see the players up close. A favorite is Court 5. Here is Fernando Verdasco of Spain getting ready before a match later.
Feliciano Lopez of Spain out on a back court in the first round.
Bernard Tomic of Australia in his first round match on Grandstand Court.
Ivan Dodig of Croatia with a forehand return against Fernando Verdasco on Grandstand.
Fernando Verdasco in action.
It's great when you can get seats close to the court in Grandstand.
When the Empire State Building is lit up in red, white and blue, you know it's time for the U.S. Open. Great view just before going to bed after spending the entire day watching tennis.
