\"New<\/a> \"score<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m weak: 10:40pm flight out to Asia and I haven’t packed yet, but when the US Open is calling, I dash off to Flushing in no time. It’s day 10 of the two weeks long tournament. A glorious sunny day, cerulean blue sky n all that.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN0616\"<\/a> \"DSCN0617\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jordan and I watched women’s doubles quarterfinals between Y. Chan and Jie Zheng vs Bethanie Lynn Mattek-Sands and Meghann Shaughnessy. The Chinese pair won over the Americans.<\/p>\n

\"Zheng<\/a> \"DSCN0620\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Zheng Jie’s coach (can’t recall his name but he looks very familiar) in white cap came over to rally us to cheer for Zheng Jie.
\n“I’ll count to 3 .. you’ll say \u90d1\u6d01\u52a0\u6cb9” .. make an extra effort.
\nTrue to his words, he would shout in good Mandarin
\n“\u4e00,\u4e8c, \u4e09, ..”
\nWe would chime in with “\u90d1\u6d01\u52a0\u6cb9 ..” The echo worked: they won, despite 64-mile serve.<\/p>\n

\"64<\/a> \"Day<\/a><\/p>\n

Zheng had double fault and her second serve came at 64 .. but the China dolls managed to win with persistence and remarkable retrievals. By 10th day, most matches were done, courts became vacant<\/p>\n
