Been busy, so I’m a little late in posting a re-cap. The US Open has ended with Federer and Henin taking the titles. Again this year I was lucky enough to spend time there during the first week of the tournament.

I did manage to have tickets to see the tennis in Aurthur Ashe Stadium where some of the greatest players of the game took the court. But, for me the best matches will always be found on the outer courts. This is where the not so big name players and even some soon to be stars can be seen trying to win their first or second round matches.

My favorite courts on the grounds will always be courts 14 and above — this is where “courtside” seats consist of couple of small metal bleachers which would feel at home at a high school and where the front row seat holders have the advantage of leaning up against the chain-link fence. You can’t get closer to the game than that.

The pictures I took have been added to my photo album. I hope to update this post later this week with the list of matches I got to see.
