Thanks, Billie. Are you going this year?

 

[Billie]

^ Thanks Billie. Great.

Thank you BB, they are nothing like rubydo's professional photos, or Kiu's, but I don't really have time to take them anyway, I get into matches once they start and I am not the most skillful of the bunch in this regard. I take them in the warm-up period and first couple of games. One time when I came closest to Nole, I didn't even remember to take my camera out of my bag.:cry

Last time I even made a sign for Nole and my friend saw me on TV with the sign. It was too funny.:lolz: In 2008 we were sitting behind Marian and Miljan and my mom saw us on TV as well.

Moxie: Yes, I am going this year again, I wouldn't miss it for anything. If I don't have anybody to go with (frankly who would be crazy enough to spend the whole day out in the sun watching guys hitting yellow balls over and over again) then I just go by myself as I love earlier rounds when you see a lot of good players.

^ Billie: I'm like you. I go to the early rounds of the USO even if I have to go by myself. And it is a lot of sitting in the sun, watching people hitting fuzzy yellow balls, but I like to go to the outer courts and see lots of different players, like you. And I'm generally too distracted to take good photographs. But yours were good from the last one. I hope you'll send us some more from this year.

Thank you Kieran, I had a great time and I wasn't even that upset that I watched Tsonga destroy Nole. I really appreciate all tennis players, they each bring something to the tour. When you watch them live and see how skillful they are, I can only admire it.

Really fun photos, Billie! Thanks for sharing them.

Who is that in phot #15?

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

People were posing in front of the US Open sign , there was a line of people waiting there, just normal fans. I wanted a picture of the sign, it was not going to happen without some people in it, so there you have it.

Oh, Ok. I thought the pretty girl in it was a tennis player that I was not able to recognize.
