Am visiting Madrid for a few days and today went to the Madrid Tennis Open. Saw some amazing games on the new blue clay courts. This is court number 2 where I saw Dogopolov beat Tsonga. Del Potro defeat Ciric but the most exciting game was the one between the 2 spaniards that was so close with David Ferrer beating Nico Almagro by 8:6 in a tie break.

This is the first time I have used my new netbook whilst abroad. Seems to take me a little while longer to write anything but hopefully I'll get the hang of it soon.
That must have been exciting to watch. the costs look super. Do you play tennis?
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice to have something to take so you can check email and blog while traveling? I am enjoying your adventures here, there and everywhere. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow did the blue clay seem to you? There was a lot of criticism against it in the press here!
ReplyDeleteLucky you for getting to see such great matches! I had the good fortune to see Nadal (and others) play in Roland Garros 5 years ago and LOVED it! But haven't been able to go to another big tennis competition since then... Hopefully the perfect combination of money+opportunity will come along soon! :o)
