I’M HOSTING THE US OPEN!

EEEEEKKKK! I am just now realizing that I really haven’t shared this news with anyone outside of my close friends and family, and honestly I’m still kind of pinching myself about it.

Working as a host at the US Open has been a goal of mine ever since I started working in the tennis world. For those who might be unaware (don’t worry I totally was before I worked at the BNP Paribas Open lol), in the tennis world there are what’s called Grand Slam Tournaments and there are 4 of them - Wimbledon, the French Open, the Australian Open and the US Open. These are the biggest tournaments in the sport and the US Open is the final of the tournaments in the calendar year.

Basically it’s my job to have fun with fans and play these crazy games with them. Like you know all those games Jimmy Fallon and Ellen play with their guests on their shows? That’s what I’ll be doing haha.

And if that wasn’t cool enough, want to know something I’m kinda freaking out about (all my Peloton fans are gonna freak) - the host of one of the shows I’m working on is freaking ALLY LOVE!!!!! You guys I’m not kidding when I say I’m the world’s biggest Ally Love fan and I’m dyingggggg because they’re making a segment for the two of us called Alley Ooops to run all of our bloopers throughout the week hahahaa.

Oh and did you hear the news that Serena Williams is retiring after the US Open?! The energy is going to be electric with her there and I feel incredibly lucky that I get to be there to watch her play for the final time (even though I feel like she might one day come out of retirement because I just can’t believe that it will be over for her!!).

Anyways, I’m thrilled but I’m also SUPER nervous because well, fun fact about me…I love to overthink and worry about things I’ve never done before haha (I should probably work on this).

Okay, BRB boarding my flight to NYC!
