Bonnie returned to NYC and with SONATA at Flushing Meadows, NY, the World's Fair Marina, we were next door to the US Open.
We obtained a "grounds-pass" ticket which allowed to all events, except the main statium, the Arthur Ashe.
We started to watch one event, the match between Del Potro and Melzer. 
Del Potro won his match. He went on to win the US Open.
On the grounds were attractions from the time the World's Fair was held there . . . food and snacks to eat, and many items of wearing apparel for tennis fans.
We were fortunate again . . . to see Kim Clijsters. She likewise won the US Open. What a come-back for the young woman.
The evening was ended with a doubles match. Charlie is now so educated about tennis. In the doubles you must watch carefully, for often the point is over in just seconds. In singles you have the volleys back and forth that can go on and on . . . and you can see that happening. In doubles it is the serve and then the return . . . and that may be the point. Singles is endurance, doubles is skill and a mind game.
