Hey guys, hectic first day here at the open, and I didn’t even play! I have a lot of friends and family in town and they are all getting settled in. This morning I woke up bright and early to ring the opening bell for NASDAQ with Melanie Oudine. That was an exciting event that not everyone gets the chance to do. Hopefully the market does well this week and I get asked back!
At the courts I practiced with Robby Ginepri, before a little trip to the 
American Express tent to check out this cool project I have been working on with them. If you are at the open or checking out their website online you should take a look. It’s a lot of fun and involves myself and some other young faces of tennis.
Then I spent some time with Olympus, who has provided Dan the Intern 
with a camera to take pictures all this week, so check out my website soon! All of the pictures on this blog will be from the Olympus Stylus Tough Dan will be using this week. I then was presented with my award for winning the Olympus US Open Series. It’s an accomplishment I’ll treasure and never forget. Hopefully I make a run here at the Open starting tomorrow so that accomplishment can be worth even more!
Sam
As a result of winning the Olympus US Open Series, Sam Querrey is in line to win the biggest prize in tennis history - $2.6 if he wins the US Open. In an effort to get even more fans behind Sam, Olympus, the official camera of the US Open, will give away a Stylus Tough camera to ONE lucky ‘Get Olympus’ fan on Facebook each time Sam wins a US Open match. The winner will be chosen randomly each round. Go Sam!
