So over the next couple of days I'm taking a few days off due to the fact that quite unexpectedly I found that I could watch the US Open. I was SO excited to have accidentally stumble across the Open on SBS. I always get to watch some of Wimbledon and the Australian Open as I just love watching tennis. I have never been able to watch the US Open and when I accidentally came across the tennis on SBS well that was it for me, everything gets put on hold. US Open  Sorry the photo is a bit blurred.
