点评:We attended the September 4th women’s semifinals at Arthur Ashe Stadium. This was my first time at the US Open, and honestly, I didn’t know what to expect walking in. All I could think about was how I was finally going to score those famous Honey Deuces. Instagram had hyped it up so much that I made it my mission to grab one as soon as we got inside. Lol.
We were a party of 8 and went all in on the Honey Deuces… only to end up disappointed. They were way too sweet, and after a couple sips, we gave them away and switched over to Aperol Spritz instead. The only catch is that they weren’t freshly made but poured from pre-bottled mixes. Not ideal, but with a crowd that massive, I get why they do it.
As for the matches, we got to see both women’s semifinals: Sabalenka vs. Pegula and Osaka vs. Anisimova. I’ll leave the deep tennis commentary to the pros but for me, it was more about the atmosphere. With the roof closed because of rain, the stadium felt like a giant echo chamber in the best way. Every cheer bounced around, the energy was nonstop, and just being part of that crowd was unforgettable.
Overall, it was such a fun night , drinks and food aside, the US Open lived up to the hype, and being there in person was an electric experience I’ll never forget!
翻译:我们去观看了9月4日在阿瑟·阿什球场举行的女子半决赛。这是我第一次看美网,说实话,我一走进球场就完全不知道会发生什么。我脑子里想的全是终于要喝到那杯著名的“蜜汁双人”鸡尾酒了。Instagram上对它的评价太高了,我一进场就立马想抢一杯。哈哈。
我们一行8人,一口气喝了“蜜汁双人”……结果却大失所望。它们太甜了,喝了几口之后,我们就把它们送人了,换成了阿佩罗开胃酒。唯一的缺点是,这些酒不是现调的,而是用预先装瓶的混合酒调出来的。虽然不太理想,但面对如此庞大的观众,我明白他们为什么这么做。
至于比赛,我们观看了两场女子半决赛:萨巴伦卡对阵佩古拉,以及大坂直美对阵阿尼西莫娃。深度网球解说就留给职业选手吧,但对我来说,更重要的是现场的氛围。由于下雨,球场顶棚封闭,整个球场就像一个巨大的回音室,营造出一种绝佳的氛围。欢呼声回荡在球场上空,活力四射,仅仅是成为其中的一员就令人难忘。
总的来说,这是一个非常有趣的夜晚,撇开饮料和食物不谈,美网公开赛不负众望,亲临现场是一次令人难忘的体验!
