Ok. So we’ve been rained on. Heavy at times… Steady drizzles. And we have red dust on everything. And we’ve gotten sunburnt. We’ve seen it all. Sometimes it’s been hot, Damp, humid and muggy heavy • all conditions.
But, and here’s the but, its been a really great tourney. Really great tributes paid to Roland Garros. We’ve seen lucky losers drive 24 hours (thought he signed up for Le Mans next) to get into main draw. We saw Novak bounce a lot. And noticed for the first time in his career he was wearing the same color wrist sweat bands. With ADIDAS it was once of orange and dark gray? Vague. Ok. We loved SERENAs outfit. Quite honestly we don’t know why more players don’t wear more compression clothes. And some players like Monfil need padded clothes!
Our global ambassador Dusan Vemic did not disappoint. He took the snail shots of escargot. And Gil took the photo of the garden pests. Gils trying to figure out how to sell his snails next FRENCH OPEN….
We are all exhausted. This is a quick turnaround. Getting ready for our faves. The grass. We love grass. We have our annual white party and Max Mirnyi birthday party. We are a team of 5 representing 10sBalls all over the United Kingdom.
Queens, we can hardly wait. Following you on Instagram. Stephen Farrow transforms the historic club into a modern day experience that’s beyond fabulous. It’s simple and basic. Tennis. Hospitality. Affordable. And did we mention. The worlds finest grass. See you all soon. Fraser you too….
This was a tennis tournament.... Like no other. This was a U.S. Open like no other.. Let's start with new logo. It's click art like ours? But we aren't the USTA.
The only way to describe this U.S. open is soaking wet without raining... It's really hard to play tennis when your socks are soaking wet and you are "sloshing" in your shoes. Your shoes get really heavy when they get wet.
What a start. First match in the new stadium and bye bye ladies number one seed and WTA World Number One. Simona Halep. Losing to Estonian Kaia Kanepi.
Roger Federer did it. So, did Caroline Wozniacki. They were the applauded and appreciated Australian Open singles winners. Much less well received was the brutal heat that turned the fortnight into the Dehydration Open.
Tennis players and coaches around the world will receive this prototype racket as part of, what we believe is, the largest and broadest playtest in racket history.
David Goffin, finalist of the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in 2017, will come to Rotterdam for the sixth time in February. The 28-year-old Belgian is the ninth player who has been announced for the 46th edition.
