In for middle Saturday and Sunday day sessions.

I want one of them lobster rolls and will be drinking a lot of honey deuces and Heinekens.

PSA for those who have tickets to Ashe. I just noticed yesterday that you are not getting three matches beginning at 11:00, but instead two matches that begin at 12:00. The new Louis Armstrong stadium will have three day matches.

I hope one of the top four draws Stan first round.

I haven't been in twenty years. I am starting to think with the day/night breakup that maybe I should have gone a few days earlier when there is more action going on around the grounds.

Second round is perfect. Just try to watch some practices and pay attention to this thread for people scoping good outer matches. MidnightVibe talked up Nick Kyrgios five years ago, so I watched him play Cilic up close on a side court at the French Open. The next year, Nick beat Rafa at Wimbledon and Cilic won the U.S. Open. That is the type of match to look for. Hopefully, doubles is going by then, too for you to check out.

Thanks, I'll probably end up gravitating to where the hotter female players are

I am definitely getting candied bacon cooked with a blowtorch and served on a clothesline.

Cool stuff about Armstrong. I didn't realize the upper deck is first come, first served. I hope the ventilating system with no AC works when it's hot as balls outside.

I’m there opening Monday. Day matches in Ashe. Probably mostly walking around the outside courts though.

Whoa, I thought the draw was tomorrow.

At quick glance, Rafa's draw is a joke.

No kidding about Rafa, seems like a cakewalk to the semis. Stan/Dimitrov 1st round will be a good one.
