The dude doesn't seem to be aware that tennis is the last "gentleman's sport"!)<br /><br />But I'm really rooting for Federer now... let him complete the Grand Slam (I heard today that only 5 people have done it!), equal Sampras in number of Grand Slam titles (in a few years Nadal which catch up and surpass them both!), and then I can stop feeling sorry for him each time he loses to Rafa! :p<br /><br />Yup, that's me in the middle! With my parents. My sisters and I got their tickets as a 35th wedding anniversary present and 60th b-day present for my Dad (they spent the week in Paris, 2 days of which in Roland Garros; I joined them for that as I was a few hours away in Belgium at the time). And yeah I thought that sign (that my mom had promised the people in her office she'd make... guess who actually made it? :p) would be big enough to get us noticed (along with our Spanish flag). Unfortunately we were in the one corner of the stadium that doesn't get decent coverage by the cameras!!! :o( and in the middle of people as opposed to right behind a barrier, so we could only open up and wave the banner when they changed sides... Was still boatloads of fun! ;o)CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-82146865226530303222009-06-01T22:16:06.516+02:002009-06-01T22:16:06.516+02:00Crazy Cris - writing your own comments!
It was re...Crazy Cris - writing your own comments!<br /><br />It was really sad but I think Nadal dropped it - he really wasn't playing his usual game. It's sad because I shall have to lend my support to Federer now (heaven forbid murray actually turns into the next Button!).<br /><br />Is that you and your home made poster in the picture? Surely it was big enough to get some TV coverage!Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10869507549443474002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-19616788184766456302009-06-01T16:37:53.096+02:002009-06-01T16:37:53.096+02:00ahhh, now that's more like it!

He's now fighting to stay in the 3rd set.<br /><br />First Djokovic, then Nadal, now Federer??? What the hell have they put in the Parisian water this year?!CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.com
