U.S. Open

Tuesday, September 6th, 2005 at 9:51 pm

I spent most of my Labor Day watching the U.S. Open. I started out watching Lindsey Davenport win in straight sets. Then I watched Andre Agassi fight to pull out a five set win over Milesse. I almost walked away at that point to go play tennis or do something else when James Blake, an American who has had to battle some tough odds, came on to play Robrero.

The match was intense, like the Agassi match before it. Every point was hard fought, and the momentum swung wildly from side to side. It was a real treat to watch such talented athletes play a sport I love. My tennis league starts this Saturday — guess I’ve got some big shoes to live up to now! Ha!
