The Deft Volleys #1/The S-Thread #1 For 8/21/12: 2012 US Open, Day 1 (Qualies Day 1)


The United States Open for the top tennis players of the world doesn't begin next Monday on August 27. Rather, it starts today, as the mentally grueling and challenging drama that is the qualifying rounds begin.

Marquee matches to watch on Day 1 of the 19-day journey that is the toughest Grand Slam in tennis include Ryan Harrison's brother Christian Harrison taking on Grega Zemija, as well as Alison Riske taking on Lauren Davis.

Also, two women's intriguing matches at the Open today to look at involve a once mercurial French star in Aravene Rezai slowly playing better again (who faces a difficult match against Chinese 18-year-old hope Saisai Zheng) and the current mercurial but struggling adolescent talent that is Caroline Garcia (who has a tough 1st Round match too against Alberta Brianti).  

It should be a fascinating first day at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center. The schedule is here
