Has Brian
Earley, tournament director, finally
'thrown in the towel' on ever getting the 2003 US Open completed??? |
 |
"Now if you'd had the sense to hold the US
Open in Morocco, you'd be playing in warm sunshine right now.
And we wouldn't be standing here in the cold and the rain
wearing towels. Waddya mean, Morocco's not in the US?" |
 |
 |
"Credentials? I don't care about credentials.
You're not getting in here without a boat!"
Bunny Williams guarding Louis Armstrong Stadium. |
"It's only a little shower, you said.
We don't need to buy umbrellas or ponchos, you said.
Now all my wet clothes are in this little plastic bag and you've
got that look in your eye..." |
 |
|
"This is the city where you can sell people
the Brooklyn Bridge and
I can't get a dollar each for these three prime seats at the US
Open." |
"Never mind, dear, I'll have this sweater
finished in time for the start of the next match and then we can
get out of these wet clothes." |
 |
|
"Dum-de-dum. Round and round we go. Soon I'll
disappear..." |
 |
Clijsters: "Is
that a dry spot there?"
Earley: "Oh, yes. I think I see it..."
Clijsters: "Let's just watch it for
a while before it goes away."
Earley: "OK. Maybe I should take a
picture so we can remember it?"
Clijsters: "No. I think we should
get the TV cameras in for for this one..." |

Michael Barkann, USA
Network:
"We had a report of a dry spot right around here. We got
here as quick as we could but there's no sign of it. It's pretty
sad that there are people who will try to get everyone all
excited by spreading these false rumors..." |
 |
 |
There were even a few balls actually struck in
earnest today.
But a bathroom break would have been all that was needed to miss
all of them...
