It was 7:30 and we saw that the game at the Ashe stadium was about to start on the big screen. Showed the ticket and got a stamp on my wrist in case we needed to go outside of the stadium. Took a few escalators to the top of the stadium. There was a gorgeous moon just beyond the famous planet object.Our seats were in the row Y, so we needed to climb like 50 steps to get there, but the view from there was stunning, even though you can't see the face of the players.
First game was Maria Sharapova, everyone knows her right? She was in her new black outfit inspired by NYC (Chrysler Building) per her interview. She won easily over unknown player. After the game, she talked about her comeback after the shoulder surgery, and in my ears her English was better than before. Maybe she now has an American boyfriend...
The 2nd game was Andy Murry from Britain. He had a difficult time to win over again unknown player, even though score did not reflect that. We were cheering the opponent (actually majority of the people there were cheering that guy not Andy for some reason).
We had a great time watching the games and catching up - about friend's wedding and other personal stuff.
I will come back again next year for sure, or at least I will buy the tickets when it goes on-sale.
In this video, I was looking at the skyline of NYC, CITI field (NY Mets Stadium)...)
