Dani Beckstrom vs. Ryan Field in U.S. Open ball crew showdown
NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- U.S. Open fan week gets underway Monday, a week when fans can watch the qualifying matches in this year's tournament for free.
Meteorologist Dani Beckstrom tried to sneak her way in this year by auditioning for the ball crew.
But it turns out she wasn't the first member of the Eyewitness News team to try this.
Sports anchor Ryan Field made the trip to Queens five years ago!
So we've stacked their performances side by side to see who fared better.
You can see the results in the video player above!
ESPN is your home for full coverage of the U.S. Open.
After fan week this week, the matches begin next Monday, August 26.
And for the first time ever, ABC will air the men's final on Sunday, September 8, on channel 7, WABC-TV.
