now, andrea, back in 1980 you were 15 and became the youngest quarterfinalist at wimbledon, also the youngest semifinalist at the u.s. open that same year. what was it like to be thrust onto the world stage so early? >> well, it was exciting. you have to imagine with melanie's situation, cow can hear her excitement and her exuberance. if you're playing something you love and you're able to do it in some of the grandest stages across the world, i mean, wow, it's just such an opportunity, and it seems like she's just appreciating every moment, and that's why i think she's doing so well. she just has that excitement, that exuberance, the ability to put together those big matches, and it's just so great for not just the u.s. open but american tennis in general. >> in almost 20 years have gone by, but what kinds of pressures are teenage players under yesterday and today? >> i think there's definitely pressures in the sense of there's responsibilities. there's expectations on you. i think melanie's able to enjoy this experience so much because she was ranked 221 i think last year, and she'

certainly pay attention to this, not to say they don't watch the french and the australian and the wimbledonhis is one a lot have their eyes on in this country. >> yeah, but also the economists have their eyes on it, because this looks recession-proof. last year the beginning of the year, they were celebrating all of their economics and then the economics turned south on them. they all had a plan. they're much more flexible today. 700,000 people coming to this event. they also sold out 85 of their boxes. they have more revenue than before, about 15 million in concessions and the revenues should go up, 10%, 15%, 20% during a recession. why? it's 20 minutes from the epicenter of corporations and sports and they've done a lot to improve the quality of the fan experience, not just the product. they've done a good job. >> they have and it really is an experience up there and if you're not a tennis fan but the whole experience around the arthur ashe stadium it is nice and the big stars, the william sisters and federers, they're all still in it, that's of interest to the fans as well. i want to tak
