Where's the next class of talent? Well, during the same minute that the USTA announced that Venus Williams had withdrawn from the U.S. Open due to an unspecified illness Wednesday afternoon, Christina McHale, a 19-year old from New Jersey beat former Wimbledon finalist Marion Bartoli. This has already become her greatest run at a Grand Slam and if she can move to the fourth round, watch the entire press corps descend upon her. They need the story.

As soon as I land, I hit the ground running. There are places to go, people to see. I always run over to Causeway Bay to check out all the small boutiques that carry local designers. They're on trend and cost a fraction of the price compared with the major labels.
