Some scenes from the next-to-last outdoor day at our beautiful, beloved NEW YORK TENNIS CLUB! Windscreens coming down, awnings disassembled, all autumn rituals in NYC.... oh, the days dwindle down; to a precious few! Playing among the autumn leaves...

OOh la la, some exciting stuff @ the French Open, n'est-ce pas? But the best highlights are at the New York Tennis Club!

FUN dubs at the club today, as the outdoor season's days dwindle and the autumn leaves start tumblin' down...

Congrats to both Thiem & Zverev re the US Open men's final, but shame on the USTA, no? https://www.nytimes.com//spor/tennis/us-open-coaching.html

WHY does Chris Fowler have a (this) job, please??????

Another fabulous foursome: Dave, Sean, Lois & Gene-- but: What's wrong with this picture?

Now let's talk about something positive: SHELBY ROGERS!!!!!!!

Djoko Defaulted. Period. The rule is the rule. C'mon, James Blake & Cliff & Darren, do you and the chair ump NOT know that Djoko should've been issued a WARNING when he first slammed a ball into a side wall 2 points earlier? Think perhaps that would have warned him not to do it again? Only Renee Stubbs said all the right things, to wit: Every player knows that if you hit someone, you're out. That's it! BG, this has nothing to do with replay. length of referees' discussion, ...nothing. The chair ump clearly at fault for the whole thing for no punishment or comment about the 1st time. Every time should be preventable. Anger management, Djoko! Sportsmanship, too! Let this be a lesson to all tennis students, parents & coaches!

Some wonderful scenes seem at NYTC: https://vimeo.com/454367100/64dd6d6c8f

Who knew these cute members can concentrate and WATCH THE BALL?!
