Tennis Players Kick Off the US Open at The Empire Hotel

While we were totally preoccupied with the Olympics, other sporting events have been getting prepared in the background: like the US Open, which had its big Players' Party on Friday night at the Empire Hotel in New York.

While an awful lot of non-tennis-playing celebrities paraded around the Empire, a big slab of attention did go to the rightful stars: Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams both turned up in pretty eye-catching color that was kinda hard to miss.

Apparently the party was held on the Empire's pool and bar deck on the rooftop but we don't have any reports of tennis players being thrown in the pool. Pity.
