09/09/09
Today being the ninth of the ninth two thousand and nine, I had to do something of a tribute.
Did you know that September (has 9 letters in it)
Today is also a Wednesday (9 letters there too)
I am also posting this Doodle Date at 09:09 am on 09/09/09
Opportunities to mess with numbers like this don’t come along too often
Anyone turning 09 or 99 today?

I love the US open, it is such a fun 2 weeks of amazing Tennis. I love the late night prime time matches that always produce such entertaining matches. This year has been no exception. There have been some great matches and what about the upsets. Melanie Oudin, John Isner giving us shocking upsets that make the game so exciting. Safina & Venus out so early…. it’s hat makes the open what it is. So I had to do US Open doodle tribute. I thought about doodling a racket…. nah too boring. Thought about a Roger or Rafa sketch….. better but who would I take on (I may still tackle a couple in time)
So I figured it doodle object week, why not take on the ball….. but thus sucker is tough to draw on. I still think it’s a perfect item for Object week. So in honor of the US Open, here is our doodle object for this Wednesday.
