Yesterday I went to the US Open for the day, this time with Doug and his family.
Unfortunately most of the big-name players had already played on Wednesday, but we still got to see Sharapova at the end of the day, who totally crushed her opponent in straight sets.
I thought this was kind of funny…

What if they had one of these at dance performances?
Pirouette revolutions performed so far this evening… 205.
…just being silly.

Not so silly — a lot of fans count Odile’s fouettés. It’d be tough to keep track of the whole cast though.

It’s the combination of athleticism and artistry that makes ballet dancers so intriguing.

I agree, Philip! It’s interesting to me how many ballet dancers and fans are into tennis. I read an interview with David where he said this was the one sport he really loved to watch, Kristin’s obviously gone to the Open, and I just peeked at Philip’s blog, and he’s been there a lot this week as well. I’m gonna have to start watching more tennis!

American Express is donating $100 per ace made in the Arthur Ashe Stadium to the USTA Tennis and Education Foundation. Pretty good idea for a fund raiser!
