US Open Tennis Tournament

      On September 3, I went to New York to watch the US Open with my parents. The first game was a women's singles and the second was a men's singles, and they were all quarterfinals. The women's singles tennis players were Serena Williams and Wang Hao, and the men's singles were Dimitrov and Federer.

​

     I didn't think the first game was too intense. Serena Williams' advantage was obvious. It was easy for her to win two matches. The game scores were 6 to 1 and 6 to 0 respectively. The whole game ended in just 45 minutes. At that time, the screen showed that that was the victory of the 100th US Open held by Williams! Go, Serena!

​

     After the intermission, it was time for the second match between Dimitrov and Federer. That game was so intense! I was very focused on watching, the game was really close, if you don’t believe me, take a look at the score: 3 to 6, 6 to 4, 3 to 6, 6 to 4, 6 to 2. Federer is a very strong player, but in the end, Dimitrov won the game. It was so unfortunate! Federer's back was hurt, but he still persisted, and despite the loss, I still admire him.

​

     It truly was: “Don’t laugh if we lay drunk on the battlefield. How many warriors ever come back safe and sound from the battlefield?” 

​

     That game went on for more than three hours. At the end of the game, it was already 12:00 A.M, September 4th, which happened to be my birthday, so I took a photo under the outside clock. Then we walked out of the arena, crossed the boardwalk to the parking lot, and drove home.
