We should have better weather-related scenarios to pass along after 1:00 today – I look forward to hearing the game plan. Right now we’re operating like it’s business as usual.
Those who are part of the show this year: Actor Bradley Cooper, Jason Derulo, Greyson Chance, Jessica Jarell, Cody Simpson, Diggy Simmons and Mindless Behavior.
Novak Djokovic, Mardy Fish, Venus and Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal and Andy Roddick should be here, as well – though I won’t be surprised if Andy has to back out…he’s playing John Isner in the Winston-Salem semi-final today!
Opening Ceremonies before the night session – Monday Night on ESPN2? The word I got from those putting it all together yesterday: “Ground-breaking…weather permitting.” In other words – there are some cool, unique aspects to this show, but with the heavy rain and high-winds – they may not be able to deliver the entire planned show. Which would be a shame. Taio Cruz will be the featured performer…
