Do those who live outside of the US get the pre-match ceremony?

If so, what do you think of the singing of "God Bless America" by Carol King with background choir and march of the flag with marines?

Her voice was horrible and she was offbeat. :tape:

Well,we don't have it I think.
Can someone please upload it at youtube or where?Thanks.

seeing as ES started at 8:15...no.

ES didnt show it, they showed some parts of the presse conference from nole/roger

1. I think it's a massive waste of money... does anybody really love these musical presentations?

2. I do think it comes across as jingoistic and self-serving, regardless of the intentions.

3. Who on earth chose Carol King to do this? She's an icon -- but this isn't suited to her strengths at all! :shrug:

No - we get pre-match expert analysis from Annabel Croft.

"Kuznetsova needs to get a good "swing on the racket" and go for broke" :lol: :tape: :drool:

lol, i'm watching it on CBS online. gotta love the whole cheesiness, no one does cheese quite like America :lol:

we have the pre match interviews with Mary-Joe Fernandez

uhm no..

Yes, we do and I didn't enjoy it.

Useless, especially before the most predictable final ever

No they didn't show it on eurosport!

thank God no we didn't .

That's why US Open is the worst of all slams.

lol, i'm watching it on CBS online. gotta love the whole cheesiness, no one does cheese quite like America :lol:That's funny. Where are you from?

Yes, we do and I didn't enjoy it.

I wonder if anyone in the world enjoyed it! :haha:

That's why US Open is the worst of all slams.

Sorry, but this Slam has had the highest number of good matches this year.
