This tourney is definitely highly recommended -- it is ridiculously beautiful out here -- can't get enough of it!  The mountain views that surround the entire grounds continue to amaze me, even after 3 days. Early end today, after two very long days, and to prepare for tomorrow's very long day. Definitely scorching in the sun, but there's enough breeze (and spots to take a break in the shade) -- cools off quickly after the sun goes down, though. Has been soooo much fun .... even after day 1 life was VERY good -- got to see the four players that were still on my must-see list: Fed, Rafa, Novak, and (of course) Marat  -- all in one day!  Plenty to report on -- and TONS of pictures (and video) -- that I will get up when I get home next week.  |

Edit: Does everybody on Stadium 2 has to go to tiebreaks?!?  First Fish vs Chardy and now Del Potro and Sweeting as well. If this goes on, Marat will play way past 3am  |

Cheers for the tips. The boy has a women's match on before him ... it'll be anywhere between a 2am and 4am start then ... night night. Think I'll grab a few hours and get up at 2am.  |

6-3 7-6 ;D Well done Big Yin. Good solid display - convert more of those break points though! Nice to see you on a court looking like a) you want to be there and b) you want to win. ;D
Go get some rest. That means no clubbing.
FG
I can get back to bed now ...

Mary, Marat must have received your expressed fairy dust . ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Jen and Annette must be very happy. Well, he did give us some heart attack in the 2nd set. But since he resumed his composure during tiebreaker, I just forgive him. Can't wait for the interviews, reports and photos. ;D |
