Kelly writes an interesting piece but it is more fairy tale than fact.

"Once you're there, you will have to buy champagne because that's how it's done. It doesn't matter if you like champagne or not. It's expected. Everyone around you is blind drunk, so you might as well be, too."

Hardly, as a two time visitor to Arther Ash Stadium in separate years with seats just feet from the court, no one I saw was drinking champagne nor exhibited being drunk.

"Arthur Ashe Stadium is the worst venue in tennis, roofed or otherwise. It is cavernous and echoey and watching sports there is akin to watching a neighbour half a block down the street play horseshoes from on top of your roof. You can tell that there are two people out there doing something physical, but that's about it."

I've sat 10 rows from the top and 4 rows from the court...have also been to Wimbledon.  AA Stadium is a GREAT venue to watch tennis. 

Kelly is trying to write something from nothing.  Better stick to boxing.
