The grandstand

Our third court of the day - the grandstand. This used to be the
second biggest court at the open. We bought some food and found a seat
in the fifth row to watch the number five seeds knock off the number
two seeds in the mens doubles. When you sit this close you can see
how much pace and spin the pros put on their shots. What I really
learned is that they play a whole different game than what I try to
pass off as tennis. And these guys can't even make it on the singles
tour. I don't think I could get one serve back in play in an entire
match. Sort of like Letterman trying to return Roddick's serve. If you
haven't seen it, check it out.
