Default Miles: '11 USOpen Ladies Champion
Suck it Sharpie & Waffles!

Suck it Venus and Serena!

Miles has won the 2011 US Open women's tournament and now owns the hardware!






Yes, that is the real women's trophy. The USTA held an event in Times Square today to promote tickets going on sale to the general public. Since I happen to be in NY at the moment, couldn't resist showing up for a chance to take a picture with the trophy.

I was hoping they had the men's hardware but alas it was only the ladies trophy. So instead of holding the very same trophy that Rafa held last year, I got to hold the trophy that has been won by Waffles the previous two years.

I assumed it would be a replica but the USTA folks insisted it was the actual trophy and asked that I be very careful with it. A security guard was watching over the hardware the whole time which I suppose confirms the real deal.

The trophy isn't particularly impressive since it doesn't have the names of the winners engraved on it, but still it was an EPIC thrill just holding it!

Glad the USTA is doing such fan friendly things like this.

With his serve, Miles definitely belongs on the WTA.

In all seriousness, that's really cool. They should send the trophy out on tour during the US Open Series (heck, send a replica, and just tell us it's the real trophy).

Nicolas Mahut is going to be so jealous.

Thanks for sharing the photos!

No doubt. In fact, you're almost kissing her!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. When I got there, while there was a line to purchase tickets, there was no one in line to take photos with the trophy. A volunteer led us right to it and we started hamming it up for the camera. Once others saw what we were doing, a line instantly began forming.

With his serve, Miles definitely belongs on the WTA.
Sadly, Miles cannot argue with this point. If he were ever to play Caro, it would be a serving hotmess for the ages.

In all seriousness, that's really cool. They should send the trophy out on tour during the US Open Series (heck, send a replica, and just tell us it's the real trophy).
This is an awesome idea. In fact, the USTA could come up with an entire winner's trophy presentation backdrop so that it looks like you are being awarded the trophy post victory inside Ashe stadium.

(I love how you bit it like Rafa )
Haha, cool! They let you bite it?!?
OMG, I so did not want to be tackled by the security dude so I loudly proclaimed that I was going to now bite the trophy like Rafa before striking the pose. Amazingly no one objected.

GVG's post seems to have disappeared from the thread, but sorry I missed running into you. I would have thought you would have arrived later when John McEnroe and Kristin Chenoweth made promo appearances.

I didn't even know you'd joined the tour!!

Watch out bitches! Miles is on court!
Just imagine me and Akgul taking on Huber and Petrova in a doubles match! The ump would have to keep reminding everyone that they are watching a women's doubles match!

Nicolas Mahut is going to be so jealous.

OMG, you all know of my love for big babes quite well!
