The U.S. Open (Tennis)

 On Saturday we took the trip on the 7 Train up to Flushing Meadow to see the beginning of the U.S. Open.  On this day we were able to get in for free before the matches begin.  The matches begin on Monday.  The cheapest ticket for any of the matches is $70 (this will keep the riff raff out).


 Practice sessions were occurring for the women.  We asked around but couldn't get definitive answers as to who these people were.  They are from all over the world.  Nevertheless, we saw some powerful swings, volleys and serves.

 This is the trophy.
Citifield, where the Mets play, is situated at the same location.  They use the same parking lots.
