US Open 2004 - Day 1 |
August 30th was the first day of the 2004 US Open, and basically the only day I could attend this
year, as it started later than normal and school started earlier than usual. Thanks late Labor Day!
Anyway, we stayed for about 9 hours total, but it definitely flew by. I think I saw a record number
of players this year too. Only problem: Lisa Raymond didn't play. Doubles hadn't started yet and
her first singles match was on day 2. I sorted the pictures below in chronological order by match
and by player, so check them out! |
