Labor Day became a day of waiting as rain disturbed play most of the mid day of Labor Day Monday. Never easy for any competitor playing in any match let alone a 4th round at a grand slam like the US Open.
Now it is about the countdown if you get to a middle Sunday of a Grand Slam it is about doing less of everything and time to reload the energy!
This is how my day started yesterday at The US Open.
Marion Bartoli’s retirement has created the most surprising story of the tennis year so far, many are comparing it to Bjorn Borg’s early retirement
It always happens when you are into a tournament the time starts flying by and before you know it you are almost half way through!
As I am writing this story I am in the same place I was last night 8 hours ago! The US Open is for many reason the toughest slam of them all!
What a day! I must say it is hard to beat a day like this! If it would have been the perfect day all of our players would have won of the adidas team but we are on the right track!
What a day it was! With a ton of matches and some rain delays in between! Not to forget all of the practise sessions for those players that were not on the schedule for the first day.
The Sunday normally is not to busy because most players have 1 session before the tournament starts the next day however if you have as many players as I do it is a challenging day of making sure the nerves and expectations are met an settled.
We are on Thursday before the Open and now the real deal starts and the last thing you want is a day that makes it even more challenging than it already is for so many people!
These are the days that the total magic is going to happen! Over the next 5 to 7 days it will be a mad house as all players and their teams arrive in NY and when I have to juggle many players and their schedules!
This is Day 3 for me but Day 1 for the US Open qualifying event. On my arrival this morning it was a different energy already.

You would think a week before the open starts things are very quite and easy going.
Visiting the site today for some practices and catching up with a multiple of people I found these very interesting subjects! The court cross section of the US Open gives you the detail of which over the next 3 weeks the world of tennis will be playing and millions of people watching.
