ITC

[Giselle]

Hello everyone! I though I would to this thread since I'm volunteering in the ITC. Its great to have credentails, yippie!
Its a small tourney but very nice anyways.

Some of the names that are comming are Tommy Haas ;D, James , Xavier Malisse.

I went to day worked and looked around, there are so many players, I really don't know who they are. Jan Michael Gambill entered today as a wildcard. But he lost to a russsian tennis player named Gabashvilli (it took me a while to learn the name). I guees Teimuraz (his name) is easier to remember. He did a great job and even though the fans outside didn't know who he was and where did he come from, he was very nice to all of them. and they kept asking eho are u where u from? and he had a nice accent...hes a cool guy I think, I wanted to yell something in russian but I forget every bit of the little I know once I had him next to me.

Here are some of the pics I will keep u posted.

hey giselle........have you managed to sneak ur way into the mens locker room yet!!!! i wait in anticipation for those tommy haas undercover pictures;)

Well....not really Iman. The thing is that the first rule for volunteers and anybody in the tournament its do not go to the players lounge! they put it as bright as my orange colored shirt (seriously I can't sneak in with that bright tshirt anywhere) but I did get to see Gambill's interview in the interview room...I was standing in the players desk door just to check my next schedule and gambill was standing next to me...I coulsn't beleive it. I thought that if something like that ever happened I will scream or something. But I just froze. Hes so cute, so sad he lost.

Annie I took those with my cellphone, i dunno how to make them larger....I will take my new camera to the tourney to practise for my next quest. SonyEricsson....

I just got home form work and too tired to go and see tennis. Plus all the suden theres a cold front and I'm not feeeling this vibe. I will try to go tomorrow after work and get the scoop.

I decided to go today since blake was going to play. I went even though it was freezing here. I used my credential to get inside, and saw the Gashvili guy (can't spell it) walking aroun the players desk, I was of course standing, doing nothing loking like I was doing something. He saw me and kept walking and I froze....I wanted to say something but I couldn't and I didn't want to get in trouble. He played in the afternoon two matches, won singles, lost doubles....once again he seems to be a nice guy, little shy though.

Blake's match went by in minutes, literally I don't even think he played more than one hour. Kendrick had no chance but he was entertaining, it was an ok match, showing all Blakes power and definition 6-3, 6-2.
here are some pics...I tried to get Kendricks face in the pics but he was wearing a cap (at night?).
