SubscribeOpen, and shut: Jews at the U.S. Open
Shahar Peer lost her match to Lara Arruabarrena-Vecino of Spain, 6-4, 7-6 in her opening round match at the U.S. Open on Tuesday. The Israeli press seems a bit harsh on her, don’t you think?
Peer is also playing women’s doubles.

Amir Weintraub (men’s singles; won qualifying match against Mathieu Rodrigues of France, 6-3, 6-2)
Jonathan Ehrlich and Andy Ram (men’s doubles; defeated Mikhail Elgin of Russia and Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan in first round, 7-6, 6-2)
Julia Glushko (women’s singles; won qualifying match but lost to Yanina Wickmayer of Belgium, 7-5, 6-2)
