US Open Notes

Big Night at the Open! xTian joins Killer B #2, Mamacita, kentak3, some dude, Mr. Shoulders, Evil Twin #2 and her BF for some fun under the stars. Lots of highlights after the jump

Maria Sharapova does a good job stroking the NY crowd, before and after her match talking about why NY is the best stage to be on. In fact, Maria Sharapova's outfit was dedicated to the work of Frank Geary! I think she made that up because it makes no sense.

Andy Murray hates NY. He did not stroke the NY crowd at all or remind us all how awesome we are. As a result everyone in the stadium was firmly behind Ernests Gulbis in spite of his limitations.

Gulbis has amazing talent but apparently could not care less, according to McEnroe anyway. He has a big serve and can move but looks downright lazy at times. Anyone who goes out to the Open should show their American Express card and get a complimentary headset so you can hear the ESPN feeds.

Los Brother McEnroe and Brad Gilbert are covering the men’s draw. It’s a little too much Mac Attack for my liking. Patrick – please don’t call your brother Johnny Mac. Also we get it, you don’t think Gulbis works that hard. Move on, don't pile on. While we are here, I should point out that on camera Brad Gilbert is about as comfortable as a possum in a hurricane.

As I mentioned in my tweet yesterday, I am pretty sure Pam Shriver (a pseudo McEnroe) is going to kill Mary Carrillo before the fortnight is out. Mary sent Pam around the stands looking for random Estonians to talk to and possibly to get Mary a sandwhich. Play nice Mary Carrilo. No one likes you anyway.

My girlfriend Kateryna Bodarnenko upset former French Open Champ Ana Ivanovic in a showdown of mega hotties. Proof positive that the hose is your home for in depth Tennis Analysis.

More to come over the weekend.

Shout out to Killer B #1 for coordinating and then not coming...
