The players are all excited. The draw was made this morning. The stage is set. What happens now is all up to the Tennis Gods and how the ball bounces…

Funny as I walk around and see the red (dirt) CLAY on everyone’s clothes I wonder to myself is there a big sponsor deal for a laundry soap company ? I see red clay on everything … Socks especially. Gotta run, still recovering from that great players party. It’s not everyday there’s a party in the Eiffel Tower.
