The Big Apple is calling - US Open 2006

[Dido]

Federer is still missing, but I think they will put him in the schedule later! Or he will play on Wednesday.

[Madou]

Thanks Kuniochi
DAVAI MARAT !!!

And they often try to put the stars on different days: monday for Agassi, Tuesday for Nadal (and our beloved Marat), and wednesday for Roger

[avalon]

GOOD LUCK MARAT!!!! ;D ;D ;D

For once the scheduling and time difference seems to be working in my favour. Looks like I won't have to be up in the middle of the night to watch [unless all the other matches are over and done with in record time ].

Loving the hair by the way. Curls are just starting to sprout.

Not a good start for the Aussies, Ljubicic out [but it means we get to see more of Lopez ] and Agassi currently on court not looking too comfortable . Hope he wins

[avalon]

The Agassi v Pavel match is getting exciting. But poor old Andre looks absolutely knackered. I hope for him, he can hold out

[safinette]

Agassi and Pavel gave a brilliant match! Watching Andre playing like he did makes more difficult to say him bye. GO AGASSI!!!!

[cynful21]

YES! Agassi won it! *pumps fist* And another good thing is he has a good 2 day rest after this.

Bad news. I decided to check out the weather, and as I live in PA I could see a massive storm, not only going to hit my area, but also going to go through NY. Boooo.

Hopefully it'll clear out in the morning, but it looks pretty big so we might have a nasty rain delay. ><

[Annie]

Excellent match!!! Agassi-Pavel was great and I am happy we will get to see more of a legend ;D ;D ;D ;D

Oh Marat's timing is disgusting....not before 3 am for me and the OOP is full of Russians...I think I need to skip work and go to sleep LMAO ;D ;D ;D

UDACHI MARATIK, MITYA AND ALL RUSSIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Udachi,Marat!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

[Madou]

Poor Annie... The time zone I am in is already not good for the USO, but yours ! One thing you could do (I used this trick before, but right now I'm on holyday so I don't need it): go to sleep veeeeeeeery early, like that you can wake up at 3 am without feeling like a zombie, and you'll have to take a nap tomorrow.

... Hey Marat, look at what you make us do only to see you play !!!! ;D ;D

[kuniochi]

It will be another sleepless night for me but I hope I'll get to see him WINNING! ;D ;D ;D

UDACHI Maratik!!!
