A day at the US Open
I turned up to the US Open with my Belgian flag waving and my spirits high, and watched two men's semi-finals before watching Henin assert supremacy in the women's finals. We were filmed by CBS Sports, waving our flags around like lunatics, and rooted for the underdogs in each of the matches, braving sunburn and heat exhaustion, and having a fantastic time.
We also saw the two mens singles semifinals, including Roddick's big comeback against Nalbadian. The crowd really wanted at least one American in the final, and Nalbadian seemed to lose it when he missed his match point in the third set. Roddick's serves are scary, clocking consistently over 130 mph.
