If you're wandering around the outside courts at the U.S. Open, it doesn't get much better than the alley between Courts 6 and 7, which always offer plenty of good action. It's unfortunate, however, that I'm not 6-3.
I just watched the conclusion of a doubles match on Court 6 featuring Andy Murray and Ross Hutchins, both of Great Britain, and the No. 1 doubles team: Daniel Nestor (Canada) and Nenad Zimonjic (Serbia).
The top-seeded duo prevailed: 7-5, 3-6 and 7-6 (7-2). Murray was not pleased. After losing a point during the deciding tiebreaker, he launched a ball toward Laguardia.
Like I alluded to earlier, wandering between Courts 6 and 7 is fun because it gives you an up-close view of some star players. When a player of Andy Murray's caliber shows up, the alley becomes quite crowded, so it doesn't hurt to be a few inches taller if you're standing a few rows back.
Around the grounds: The Kuznetsova-Srebotnik match is now in the third set, Djokovic took a hard-fought first set from American Robert Kendrick and the crowd is buzzing with anticipation for this Moya-Tsonga match on the Grandstand a little bit later.
