I didn’t know whether to be bummed or grateful that their grunts aren’t as loud as ESPN makes them out to be.
That was my first impression of the U.S. Open as I sat in my $35, 300-level seat of Arthur Ashe Stadium at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, N.Y. Thanks to a stolen promotional code for two-for-one tickets, I attended the evening session on Labor Day as well as the day session on Tuesday (sorry for skipping class, Professor Metzger).
And I wasn’t the only Villanovan there. Seniors Luis Miranda and Karim Hallaba of the varsity men’s tennis team were in attendance for both the day and night sessions the Thursday before Labor Day weekend.
