Yeah it's my third year at the Roger cup! The year before I saw Agassi and Nadal play in the final too. I watched quite a few matches last summer which was cool.. took the week off work.. hehe
also.. Justine is 5'5 I think... but she is very lean and small compared to most other players.. her power is impressive! |
Ive only caught the Rogers up once sadly. 2005 when the women were there.
But I got to watch Justine Henin-Hardenne at the practice courts, and the CLOSEST one to teh fence too. That was ing INCREDIBLE... better than watching a match bc you were SO CLOSE. I didnt even realize it was for for a few mins. Really took a while to sink in... I was floored! I was NOT expecting that kinda reaction from myself when I saw her up close and personal for the first time. It shocked me. She singed one of those giant huge fuzzy tennis balls. It was a very great day for me.
I recall getting VERY drunk there too that day in the sun! It was so ing glorious! Wonderful afternoon and evening.
Even at 5'5 shes still a very tiny, tiny tennis player... when many of the greats are so tall, pushing over 6 feet! I have so much respect for Justine! So much. |

Nice! I saw Clijsters warm up on the practice courts last summer before she pulled out during her match with Stephanie Dubois from an injury. You are right... get to be so close! I was disappointed I had just missed Martina Hingis though :(
Also.. my boyfriend and I were also pretty loaded for most of the matches we saw.. especially when there was a 3 hour rain delay once... good times! |

Getting hammered (be it in the sun or bc of rain delay) at the Rexall Centre at York is a GREAT way to spend a day while watching tennis! :D

You'd love it! Nothing beats slamming down some drinks and watching the game on the huge screen at the Heineken bar partying with all the Swedish and Dutch fans, always a highlight each year ;)
Hope Safin wins tonight :eyes: |
