You were so lucky to be there in person, although I guess it took a lot of stamina to sit there for so long. The arena is beautifully situated too. Did you hear that our Aussie girl, Sam Stosur, won the women's final. We as a nation are over the moon. It is so long since we have had a tennis champion. Yet back in the 50's and 60's we were often winning.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-56136384499288604282011-09-14T21:06:56.711-04:002011-09-14T21:06:56.711-04:00Tennis actually provided me with a lot of exercise...Tennis actually provided me with a lot of exercise...chasing the ball. I wasn't so great at hitting it. Wow. What an opportunity and your pictures really give us a sense of time passing and the intensity of the game. Love the mosaics with each of the opponents. I like watching tennis from the comfort of my easy chair. I'd have been down for the count in the stadium.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-27445144087363835462011-09-14T21:06:45.542-04:002011-09-14T21:06:45.542-04:00Hubs and I play tennis for fun, although we can be...Hubs and I play tennis for fun, although we can be quite competitive (hehe), we like following the matches too - you were lucky you were able to attend!<br /><br />I found out on the weekend that my parents are into watching tennis now too, which was a surprise for me.

I was so sorry that Rafael Nadal lost the other day, though Dojokovic played a super game. I'm just a BIG Rafa fan, what can I say?! ;o) tee-hee... There is not much of tennis scene at all here in Norway, so I just follow the big international matches--thankfully there's a lot of online coverage so I don't miss much. So great you were able to see these greats live!

He does a lot of driving for the pro players, meeting and greeting,etc, both for the games played at Stanford and he's gone to help in LA a couple of times. He's done it so long now that he knows some of the pros ( especially the girls ) by name!<br /><br />He's asks me every year but I still haven't made it to any of the games yet!RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-84204274938891798782011-09-14T01:21:13.713-04:002011-09-14T01:21:13.713-04:00It is always a pleasure visiting your blog, Pat. ...It is always a pleasure visiting your blog, Pat.
