There wasn’t much to watch during Rafael Nadal’s first-round match on Ashe yesterday, as he looked just fine during his first-round win, 6-2, 6-2, 6-3, over coke-kisser Richard Gasquet (who, strangely, didn’t want the ballboys to hold an umbrella over him during the changeovers). Next to us in the third row, a 5-year-old in crisp white polo and khaki shorts nudged his father and looked up: “Dad, are those the nosebleed seats?”
We decided to take a walk around the stadium. Here’s a slideshow of what we saw.
