The tickets I got put me waaaaay up in the nosebleed seats (no different than any other year really). The matches started super late due to a long day session. So while we waited for the gates of Arthur Ashe to open I got to see Andy Roddick and Nadal on the practice courts real close..very cool!
Once we got in Serena and Justine were set to play a blockbuster quarterfinal before Nadal and Ferrer were gona slug it out. The ladies match didn't start until past 8pm and so the guys match didn't start until after 10pm. By the time the second set finished it was almost midnight. We were going to head home when we saw a bunch of people rush the courtside seats below, so we said 'what the heck, let's go!'. When we got down there they were giving away courtside passes since half the stadium was empty by this time. SO we ran down got out passes and grabed the closest seats to the action...front row!!!!! We couldn't believe it, it was crazy how close we were to these dudes! At that point we said 'screw it we're staying here until the match is over!'.
So after emptying my 4G media card getting some sweet shots and watching Ferrer pull a huge upset over Nadal we finally went home...at 2am! Happy Birthday to me!
