Back in the late 80s, when I worked for the giant evil corporation, I got to attend a match at Centre Court at Wimbledon.
What I remember most was how green it all seemed. And small.
I called it intimate so as to not be a total ugly American.
I loved it. The weather was cloudy and cool and the people were delightful.
I have no recollection of who was playing. Two guys in white.
I'm so glad I got to Centre Court before it was renovated.
Then
Now
I've also attended the US Open a few times. Again, thanks to work - schlep some clients to the good seats and be lady like.
The Tennis Center in NYC is amazing. A park full of things to do even if you don't have a match ticket.
Arthur Ashe Stadium
I sat a few rows behind Barbra Streisand during an Agassi match. That was fun.
He had hair back then
I don't follow tennis regularly so I don't know a lot about the sport or the players.
A friend does Breakfast at Wimbledon every year and we all get together wearing silk PJs; we drink a lot and talk about the player's form. Not their tennis form; their arms, shoulders and butts.
In addition to Agassi I love Serena Williams.
Fierce
I have tons of photos from all my UK trips. I have to get them out of the closet from hell and scanned so I can share them.
