U.S. Open Tennis

This past Thursday, I went to the U.S. Open with a friend from school.  It was a great time.  We watched two matches,  Maria Sharapova won the first match and Novak Djokovic won the second match.

The most interesting part, however, wasn't the tennis.  During the men's match, about ten rows behind us in our section, was the "U.S. Open Fight" which has been featured on several national news shows.

Long story short, there was a guy who was yelling at the players between plays and evidently this woman (who was clearly crazy) didn't like that, so she started a verbal argument with the guy.  It was verbal until the woman slapped the guy across the face.  The guy didn't do anything back (besides asking her to hit him again) and just as it seemed to be calming down, the woman's elderly father went up and starting punching the guy.  The guy stood up and both the old man and the guy fell down about three rows of seats.  It was super dramatic.  It stopped the tennis match and the cops had to come.  Lucky for us, my paparazzi instincts kicked in and I got a few snapshots of the showdown.  Here's the beginning of the action (they're right in the center of the photo):

Angry lady: "YOU'RE GOING TO GET EVICTED"
Guy: "EVICTED FOR WHAT, EVICTED FOR WHAT" (picture that in a heavy NY accent)
