One of the worst ever days on a Grand Slam centre court, that's for sure... #USOpen

No reason to pay through the nose for Arthur Ashe stadium ticket during 1st week of the Slam. Best matches are played elsewhere.

The Koepfer situation you can't do anything about. The Venus and Balazs matches show you the perils of Protected Ranking and Wild Card abuse. I understand why USTA gave Venus a WC but this was a likely outcome. And Balazs would have been straight setted by anyone in draw.

That's what happens when you degrade your product. The USTA are so concerned about the night session that they reduced the number of day matches on Ashe from 4 to 3 and now only 2. Terrible value for day session Ashe ticket holders.

Center isn’t usually the best place to be in R1 & R2, much more competitive matches happening elsewhere. It’s unfortunate that in many tournaments, who must buy Center court tickets. I’d be quite happier buying tickets for other courts at more reasonable prices.

And tennis is not in a crisis?? I have never seen so many retirements, injuries, players in dire straits, but we see the self-righteous “crusaders” at the top of the game ignoring the shambolic state of the sport. It’s so sad.

Pretty awful when a best 3/5 men’s match takes less time to play than a straight set women’s match.
