One week of tennis in Hamburg is over and I must admit, Im pretty worn out. I never thought watching tennis could be hard work but 7 days non-stop take their toll - my absolute low came during the Hewitt-Nadal semi-final when I shortly fell asleep during the second set.. 
All hail to the inventor of sunglasses... 
So many things, both good and bad, happened that I wouldn't know where to start a report - I simply won't write one. Just let me say that it was a wonderful week! Thanks to my visitors Francis, Annabel and Alex who made the whole event even more fun and of course thanks to my home buddy Lena who managed to be there most of the time even though work called more often than she would've liked it.
I'm lookinmg forward to a tennis-free week to recover before the French Open and of course I'm looking forward to next year's event! ;D
I took a couple thousand photos and of course I can only post a fraction of those, but have fun looking at them anyway.
And of course: PLEASE DON'T POST MY PICTURES ANYWHERE ELSE - POST A LINK TO TGFR INSTEAD! THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING!

The premises viewed from Court No. 4
The Hamburg venue is pretty small. It consists of the stadium, 4 smaller courts and 5 training courts (depicted in the second photo).
Training sessions
Match Gasquet - Gaudio
Marcos Baghdatis losing to Philip Kohlschreiber
