2 Sep 2009I’m not a sports fan in general or a tennis fan in particular (futbol can get me a little worked up though), pero since the U.S. Open is really just a stone’s throw away from Casa Mala, it’s hard to ignore it. There is the constantly circling Direct TV blimp over my apartment and the 7 train is suddenly filled with confused/scared looking white people who never take the subway out of midtown or well, ever. Although I will say, I don’t know if it’s the economy or what, but there seem to be less people at the Open this year.
Since the U.S. Open takes place smack in the middle of a Latino immigrant ‘hood, I like to look at some of the Latino players at the U.S. Open. Today’s player is Victor Estrella. Yes, that’s Victor Star for the translators in the room. Victor was hoping to be the first Dominican in a Grand Slam pero lost to brasileƱo Julio Silva.
