My reserved seat in Armstrong paid off quite nicely when I saw this line-up for my Labor Day viewing at the US Open:
Novak Djokovic (SRB) [1] vs Philipp Kohlschreiber (GER) [22
Ekaterina Makarova (RUS) [17] vs Eugenie Bouchard (CAN) [7]
Stan Wawrinka (SUI) [3 vs Tommy Robredo (ESP) [16]
It’s rare to see the #1 player up close at the US Open on Armstrong. Although I was fairly certain that Djokovic would win easily, I had to see the match. I always enjoy Stan and I had never seen Genie Bouchard live. I then followed up my day session by watching Kei Nishikori take down Milos Raonic in 5 sets until 2:26 AM under the lights in Ashe.
Pictures & my impressions from the day are below:
