US Open

Entrance of the stadium in Flushing Meadows, Queens.

Enjoying an official bellini before the men's finals. Betsy goes to the Open every year and this year invited me along. Thanks, Bets!


Great park around the stadium. Was a World's Fairgrounds in 1939 and the big globe still sits there.

Along with alot of mosiacs of pavillions and sponsors of the event. I love this one of Elsie the cow.

They had a ceremony for Martina Navratilova. She thanked her lover and Renee Richards. Chris Everett gave the opening speech. I had forgotten that Martina defected from Czechoslovakia in the mid 1970's. Anyways, the USTA gave her a ring and we gave her an ovation.

Then all the red carpets were rolled up and we waited for the main event.
