Greetings everyone, Mike Casey back for Day 4 at the Open.
I confess. I did not look at the schedule of play before I left my house this morning. When I got to the Tennis Center just a few minutes ago, I glanced up at the big scoreboard outside of Arthur Ashe Stadium and was very disappointed to see the following matches on the show courts:
Dinara Safina vs. Roberta Vinci on Arthur Ashe
Stanislav Wawrinka vs. Wayne Odesink on Louis Armstrong
Bethanie Mattek vs. Alize Cornet at the Grandstand
At first, I was angry. Who are these people? These are the names the USTA wants to showcase??
Then I collected me thoughts on stormed off to the media center. There I found some good news.
Two good matches with high-profile American players on Arthur Ashe court this afternoon:
Venus Williams vs. Rossana De Los Rios
James Blake vs. Steve Darcis
Unlike yesterday, when I barely set foot inside Arthur Ashe, I think it's safe to say I'll be planting myself in Ashe for a few hours this afternoon. Hopefully I'll provide a little different perspective than I did yesterday, when I did some Ashe Stadium-bashing.
Catch up with you later.
