Come see some of the biggest names in tennis up close! One of the best parts of the US Open is to come and watch players practice against each other in competitive matches prior to the official opening. You'll find us front row at Armstrong or Grandstand or whatever court promises the most exciting matches. FREE. We'll meet at the Open Grounds at 2:00 pm Take the #7 train (allow about 45 min) http://web.mta.info/nyct/service/pdf/t7cur.pdf or the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) to Mets-Willets leaves Pennstation at 1:22 PM and arrives 1:38 PM $6 about 15 min from Penn Station http://lirr42.mta.info/schedules.php - subject to change - double-check schedule before you leave. Once you get off the subway or LIRR, walk over the wooden walk way towards the US Open grounds. You'll find yourself in a circular plaza, most often decorated by Mercedes Benz or other car sponsor. We will meet at the benches around plaza. Don’t bring anything on the “prohibited” list including a steel or glass water bottle, a backpack, or a bag bigger than 12″x12″x18″. Don’t forget sunglasses, sunscreen and to dress in layers as it can get hot during the day. http://www.usopen.org We'll have dinner around 7:00 pm in Flushing at a highly-rated Zagat Asian restaurant.
