Opening Night is a Late Night at Open

Usually we don't have matchesthat go into the wee hours until maybe the third of fourth round.  ESPN2's first night of coverage was a late one.  Andy Roddick didn't finish his opening round match until almost 1am.

While Roddick didn't mind the lat night victory, I'm sure the majority of fans watching at home were like me and couldn't last that long. 

A ceremony featuring Andre Agassi, and Venus Williams taking almost three hours to win her three set match were the main culprits.

Hopefully we finish up a little earlier the next couple nights.
