U.S Open

After following the men’s bracket in the U.S. Open for nearly 3 weeks I was extremely disappointed that I missed the final. The original final between Roger Federer and either Andy Murray or Rafael Nadal was supposed to occur last Sunday yet due to rain on Saturday everything was pushed back one day. I watched the women’s final on Sunday night and was told that the men’s final was the following day. I figured that the men’s final would be played during primetime just like the women’s final the night before. I was anxiously awaiting the match all day Monday and wanted to see an epic final.
Yet as I was sitting in the south campus-dining hall I saw a few people starring at the T.V. I turned to look at it and saw tennis; I was quite far from the T.V. so I figured it was highlights of another previous match. I didn’t make much of it after that until I got back to my dorm room. I turned on my T.V. to see the announcers talking about Pete Sampras and his 14 carrier wins, I immediately felt relieved for this must be the pre game show talking about what Roger Federer is up again. Yet I was stunned to find out that this was the post match show and that Roger Federer had just won. Three weeks of watching this tennis tournament to miss the finale, I was pissed.
