Hi Lee,
Anne has given your great advice.
I agree about "holding the mayo". That's why I bought my lunch at the Open instead.

I agree with you, Anne, about watching the play on the outside courts. Sometimes, they're the best ones. Do you like walking around and watching the practice sessions? We saw Federer last year. So much fun to be right up close and see how hard they hit!

The first time I went to the US Open was actually during the qualifying rounds. All the "big" guys and girls were there practicing. Best part about them is they're free (also no concessions, etc.) Pete Sampras was walking out the gate as we were walking in (with very little entourage). Why oh why didn't I jump beside him, ask my then hubby to whip out his camera and take a picture?

Lee, the subway out to the US Open is a piece of cake! And, this is a non-New Yorker speaking.

Anyway have fun and tell us all about it. You, too, Anne!
