USOPEN Monday September 3

I have been at the USOPEN with the Doyle family, who received this trip from last year's scholarship shootout auction.  We arrived in New York on Saturday.  Austin and I went directly out to the open to watch matches.  Yesterday the entire Doyle family and I were at the US Tennis Center all day watching the day and night matches.  Lots of excellent tennis.  While we were there, we joined up with ATA player Este Kaufmann and his dad Pete.  We watched some young american's do well and we watched some of the top players in the world. 

This morning, 2nd on after 11am we are going to watch ATA's Ashley Weinhold in her first round match in the junior portion of the USOPEN.  She is playing singles and doubles.  This draw features the top 64 junior players in the world, 18 & under.  Ashley plays a seed today, but I'm not sure seeding means that much in this tournament since many of the girls have been playing primarily a professional schedule.  We will also try to catch the Roddick and Federer matches today.  Lots of great tennis at the USOPEN today.
