re: 2017 Non-GS Tennis Thread

Yep first time. Overall good experience. Queues are too long, but that's a petty gripe. I was in the second to last row all the way up. Better view than I expected. Tickets were ~$100. I'd like to be closer next time.

Another story: I'm watching Sock play on one of the outer courts, playing whoever that guy was that beat him. I'm surrounded by a bunch of brits who are just shitting all over "the american", as they referred to him. Talked about how much of a dick he is. How he doesn't have much other than a forehand, how he'll never win a slam. It went on for over 10 minutes. Then after they had apparently exhausted their vitriol, they each then did a 180 and took turns taking selfies and pictures with him in the background, giving thumbs up, etc. They even asked people to move aside for a second so they could get a good selfie. Two faced bastards.

Another one: I'm sitting in the side court watching Mattek-Sands. After she won a game, the chick who she was playing starting yelling something to her people in another language (don't remember which). The guy sitting in front of me apparently spoke the same language and interpreted for his friend that she was saying "This bitch is fricking lucky."

So I got to see Federer, Monfils, Donald Young, Sam Groth, Sock, and Mattek-Sands. I was surprised at how hard fed hits his forehand. I mean I knew it was world class obviously. But I've never seen it in person before, and I guess his effortless swing on TV lulled me into a false sense of pace. But it was really, really fricking hard.

Also, hot classy women in small dresses, big tits, and no bras. No fatties. That was a nice plus.

Here's a few random pics:
