One of the 4 grand slam tennis tournaments (US Open) takes place each year in New York. The first week before the official opening starts with Qualifying Tournament, in which 128 men and 128 women compete to catch a place in the main tournament and face the greatest players. The best part of this first week is that it is completely free to public, so I took advantage of that yesterday. You can see celebrity players up close, training for next week , as well as not so famous players playing in the qualifying tournament.
- Victoria Azarenka currently world no 1, during training session
- American Bobby Reynolds in the qualifying match against Australian James Duckworth
- Romanian Marius Copil, in the qualifying match against Ruben Bemelmans (which he won)
- David Ferrer, currently world no 5 player
- Signing autographs for children
- Roger Federer being interviewed by Jim Courier
