Day 103: New York City, US Open
September 6: Had the best day today!
Woke a little early... went to Flushing to get tickets to the US Open (Grand Slam Tennis tournament).
Got to see a number of men's quarter-final doubles matches, plus two great centre court (round 4) matches at Arthur Ashe Stadium:
Lleyton Hewitt (Australian) defeated Dominic Hrbarty (Slovakia) in three sets,
while Roger Federer (Switzerland) defeated Nikolas Kiefer (I think he's German) in four sets... but it was a great match, and the first time Federer has lost a set the whole tournament!
The atmoshere there was amazing... loads of giveaways and promotions (eg AOL, Lexus, Olympus), very friendly people, and more.
Will be returning there on Sunday for the men's singles final and women's doubles final, if not before.
Headed into Manhattan in the evening. Saw the movie "40 year old virgin" - funny, but not recommended for people my parents' age... before catching the train back to Long Island.
