It was an interesting first day of the US Open, to say the least. I had a nice practice with my South African friend Chanelle Scheepers, then had a fun autograph session at the American Express Experience. As first-round matches got under way and I finished my visit at AmEx, a massive downpour dropped on us. I mean buckets! We got pummeled. There was wind, rain, and leaves flying everywhere. It was pure chaos. All of us players escaped to the player lounge, but it couldn't hold everyone, so I decided to head back to my hotel. We got soaked again as we ran out to our transportation, but it was worth it.
Lunch was the best part of my day, because we had Korean barbecue at Miss Korea. Yummy! Really, I love Korean food; bulgogi and kimchi are my favorites. I know, I know, maybe it's not the most healthy thing to eat at a tournament, but sometimes I just can't help myself.

Keri Russell and her husband, Shane Deary, attended the US Open in New York on Saturday. Keri's growing bump was on display again in a striped dress after she was spotted out last week for the first time since announcing her pregnancy in July. Keri and Shane showed sweet PDA in the stands during the tennis day, and they were joined by another famous face in the crowd, Jeremy Piven. The Entourage star sat in front of the couple for the match, which came just a day before the series finale of the HBO hit aired to mixed reviews. Keri not only has her second child in the works, but she's also getting started on her next film, Austenland, with producer Stephenie Meyer.
