tennis, life and a few things in between

Round of 16 at the Open

3 sets. It’s so sweet and moving to see them hugging each other when it’s over.

Lucie Hradecka (CZE) [3] and Marcin Matkowski (POL) [3] lost to Bethanie Mattek-Sands (USA) and Sam Querrey (USA) in the third set super tiebreak 10-7. Sand played really well, kind of carried him.

The American pair made to the final and lost to Martina Hingis and Paes in the super tiebreak, also 10-7. Heart breaking!

And the airplanes fly by the half naked man.

Wushuang Zheng (CHN) [14] lost 2 and 3 to Francesca Di Lorenzo (USA). She jumps high to hit forehand – a jumping flea -:)

American Express Card built up on the three courts side of the main hall. The second floor felt a bit shaky tho. Light fares and drinks, plus massage.

She asked me if I play … then went on to say this isn’t her life style. Oh well.

The sleeping beauty is only 10 days old. The last time we took a picture together in the Open was 1994
