On my way to the Open! Got reserved Louis Armstrong seats today and a grounds pass for tomorrow. On the docket:
Sabalenka, Ostapenko doubles, Jabeur, Gauff/Sock, and maybe Vickery. we'll also probably watch part of Sinner to start.
Woohoo!
Pretty much did this minus gauff/sock and Vickery. Also got to see a set of Eubanks/Shelton doubles and they were great even though they lost. I sat right behind ostapenko's mom on the bleachers and listened to Jelena yell at her in Russian after every other shot. She carried that team BTW.
Also caught a bit of Manfol(?) before Jabeur and he was also a fan favorite despite losing.
Today going to see ostapenko singles AND doubles, Shelton mixed doubles, and hopefully some Shelton singles.
MiR is right, it's an amazing sporting event.
That dude in front of me in the last photo was in ostapenko's camp and was definitely gambling on his phone during the match. He also vaped throughout the match and we got a healthy whiff of weed from the park that got a "that stinks" reaction from Ostapenko. Good times!
