US Open: A Couple of Days

I have been at the US Open the last two days. I love the first few days. I can see my favorites (before they stop advancing - which is a great way to say before the lose). And, to be honest, yesterday my 3 favorites were all playing. Rafa played too, but he is everyone's favorite.

So, to the tape.. (all pictures mine - except bottom of college of Holgar, and day 1 players.

Borna Čorić. He is on a great comeback trail. He is a handsome young Croatian who was out for nearly two years with a shoulder injury. He has come back better than ever.

Mackenzie Macdonald (Mackie). He is a ex-UCLA tennis guy. I didn't get a great picture and he lost, so  I don't get a second chance for pics. He is half-Japanese and half Scottish and I think he is the cutest player on the tour. But, he isn't the tallest or the best :-(. I probably like him because he is only 5' 10" and has to work harder than most.

This is Holgar Rune, a young guy from Denmark. He was in the finals at Roland Garros

 (the French Open), and I really wanted to see him. And definitely not because he is cute as hell, or he has great calves (like Mackenzie and Borna, I do not have a type).

I didn't get many pictures from day 1. But this is cool, and Ed sat right behind both Bill and Dr. Ruth. He and Bill spoke for a while, but Ed is too cool to ask for a selfie.

Finally - Some others I saw but my pictures did not come out

From left: Day 1: Maxime Cressy - another ex-UCLA guy that lost first round. Day 1:Upper is Caper Rudd, he is from Norway and won the French Open (over Holgar Rune above).  Day 2: Lower is Sebastian Korda, an American that won.

On last thing.. If you think Sebastian Korda has an "familiar" look, you may (if you are old enough) remember his dad. His father was Czechoslovakian Australian Slam winner Peter Korda. Sebie is his son.
