Somewhere in the middle of sleeping for two days, I had a great idea for the blog, and it had something to do with the Montreal/Toronto tournies, and I can not, for the life of me, remember what the great idea was! See kids...drugs are bad!

I would love too. However, do not even attempt to think i could run around Flushing Meadows to all those grand slam matches like you did at Legg Mason. However, I will give this thought. Hmm.

I will need a place to post my digital pictures.

Any requests for players?

Let me know how, where and when.

Well, I only had a few courts to deal with, not an entire gland slam venue! Though, can't you just don your cape and fly from match to match?

It is your trip, so you go see the matches that interest you, ok? Anything you send me is just great bonus stuff! I would be more interested in good match-ups than seeing a great player pound a lesser player in an ugly match. When is it that you're going?

I uploaded pictures to photobucket and then posted from there. I suppose you could do the same, and send me a link, or just send them to me (the ones you think are the best). It really is up to you and what would be easiest for you. This is for fun, so neither one of us should get stressed out! Easiest email for me is topaz720@yahoo.com

And, please feel free to write-up some of your adventures, too...I actually think that is more interesting than pictures most of the time.

Thanks...this will be fun!

With all the matches going on (often at the same time!) I'm sure you'll do your fair share of running around.

I would be delighted to see any pictures of any players you happen to see, but I actually do have a random request: Ernests Gulbis (LAT). Thanks a mil

Who the heck? It almost sounds made up. Below is pic I found. I didn't see him in the qualifier draw. Is he even playing? I think he just lost in New Haven qualifier as well. Just letting you know.

P.S. Im sorry to hear about your Eagles obsession Topaz. I guess we all can't be perfect. We will have to bet when the skins play them later this year.

Go Skins.

How exciting. I can't wait. I've been writing down the players names just in case i have to choose matches, I'll side with whoever I haven't seen and/or those you guys requests. I aim to please!

And...once the draw comes out and gets going, we'll have a better idea of what you'll get to see. I have to admit, I'd never heard of Gulbis either...interesting choice Starlite!

And yeah, buried in the middle of Redskin country can be tough for an Eagles fan, but I'll survive. My mom's cousing was a TE for the team back in the 80s, so I grew up watching games. I'm not 'anti' Redskins...heck, I'll even root for them when they play the Cowboys.

But then again, I'm always rooting for whoever is playing against the Cowboys!

Yeah, he lost to Gabashivili 3-6 7-7(9) 6-1.

Still has some mental issues but he’s young (19 in a week!).

And he is playing, he’s in the top section of the bottom half of the draw. First round against Potito Starace, could face Djokovic in the 3rd round. He’s only played in two other slams, Beat Henman for his (and Latvia’s) first grand slam win, and took a set off of Baghdatis in Wimbledon.

I heard of him last year, where he played Ancic in the QF’s of St. Petersburg, and I’ve always followed his results since then. He’s made tremendous progress, this time last year he was playing and winning futures. He’s one of 3 guys born in 1988 in the top 100 (Del Potro and Korolev being the other two). And he’s coached by Niki Pilic who’s worked with Becker, Goran, Ljubicic, Ancic, and most recently Djokovic and from what I’ve heard Pilic sees a lot of potential in him, as do I. I’ve seen him play singles and doubles for Latvia in DC, and he’s. He kind of reminds me of Ancic mixed with Djokovic, if that’s imaginable, but we’ll see where he goes in time.

Well, I figured since he’d be in NY he’d probably get tons of pics of pros we all know, but he wouldn’t know to look out for Gulbis. Just alerting you to a good player to watch out for!

Looks like Starlite has a little crush *ahem cough cough* on Mr. Gulbis.

Oh please, just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I have a crush on every player I follow.

Anyways I have dirt on you:

University of Chicago, school hasn't started yet. I start school after you guys! They're not a big sports school, but I'm probably going to play intramural or something I don't think I'm good enough to be on a team.
