Elaborate the part where you thought about killing yourself! Seriously, this was highly entertaining. Thanks for the reports.

I enjoyed your Day 3, Rebecca, since I was not there... esp the Juanqui/Younes match report! I wish we got that one on TV... I want to see it... great to see Juanqui in a playful, relaxed mood... Ancic/Nalby practice? or was it a match... can't remember now... I saw Mario posing for giggling teenagers later in the day... must have been Tue. so I decided to film him... such a doe-eyed wonder...

More!!!!!!!!!!! Just a question?! You like Hewitt, or no?! Not really That's what made it funny There was this kid during the match that was yelling at us from an overpass about 100 meters away. That is, there is this walkway near court one, and if you are standing on it you can likely see most of the court, but it's not a part of the park. Anyways, this kid was yelling "HI MR HEWITT!" and did this a few times. "HI MR HEWITT!" and finally a few minutes later they yelled "BYE MR HEWITT!" It was a fucking riot. Nobody could figure out where it was coming from.

They were both pretty serious, especially Nal who was pretty focussed the entire three days that I saw him. *proud*

I have a couple of Roger, that are decent. In a few weeks I will get all that stuff scanned and put it up on a site.. I'm going to put them all up somewhere that people can actually access them this time Eventually I want to develop a site where I will put all my photos and tourney stories, but that will wait a while... I didn't see him with Tommy! What day was that?

btw.. when asked who the nicest guys in the tournament were, a couple of the ball kids apparently actually named nalbandian ;D *proud* Apparently he's very nice to the tournament workers and the ball kids like him... I was a bit surprised, to be honest.

David is much much much better looking in real life. Very cute. He doesn't really photograph that well since he has odd features.

Enjoyed your reports, Becca! Sounded like you had a fab time. I saw Nalby in Basel last year, (he won there too) i was walking to the restaurant to join my husband and another friend and he was just leaving with his 2 'companions' (i must have been the only one that recognized him in there) and he does look better in person than on tv. He's burly, isn't he! Is Ancic that skinny in person? He looks pretty lanky on tv. Rogi Fan mentioned something that she met you, but i was expecting more details on your encounter. What day are you going to the USO? A friend of mine here said that if ever i went there, the night sessions are a must to see... ;D

Mrs B - could you - or somebody - show me where Rogifan wrote about meeting me I was standing at a fence watching the big screen at the end of Larose-Kuerten on the first day, when somebody came up to me and asked if I was Rebecca. Now, I knew it had to be Rogifan since she was the only other person left there that would have been able to spot me, but I forgot her first name. I thought her name was "Julie" or "Juliette" or something, lol. SO when I asked and she said no, that wasn't her, I was a little baffled So she made me guess, which was funny since I knew who she was and just didn't know her first name Eventually she said "agassihole" and i pointed out that i just didn't remember her first name. After that I ran into her a few times on my way to and from matches, etc. Personality wise she was just as I expected

You must have thought my name was "Juliette" cos I;m a Rogi fan and there's that connection w the Swiss cow and all that... I just posted more on our meeting in the Rogi forum, Becca... my last post in fact and I can't remember when I posted in the "usual" forum here... must have been a few days ago... just look up my posts... Funny, you're not quite how I imagined you to be in person... you're rather quiet and perhaps even a little shy... not like the "GRARing" Becca I know fr the boards!! You're much feistier in your posts, esp in wtaw!! You were very mildmannered in person, Becca. Anyway, it was fun meeting you and I s have taken your piccie!!

Maybe next time And people always tell me that they expected me to be more "aggressive". somebody else I met was expecting me to be more like the friend I had with me is But no... I'm not loud and bubbley at all. I'm pretty quiet and laid back

The only thing I can say is how jealous I am of you FR and Becca that you've managed to watch live tennis RF, are you gonna show us that pic of Becca? I could make good use of it drawing moustache, horns and other 'nice' attributes if I'm having a fit of anger Seriously, nice reports. Off to check Rogi's thread

Thanks Becca, for this fabulous report. Not being able to attend a tourney myself, the next best thing is to have you guys coming back with such great exciting reports. David is not that bad looking, is he? He just don't looked very South American, is he a German decent? Anyway, it's funny that they kept saying on tv that he was late for practice, and here I think Becca mentioned he's almost late for a match. Guess that experience of missing the Wimby Jr. SF/F match didn't really make a dent on his mind, at least didn't make him any more punctual .

Well this time David might have had an excuse for being so out of it As posted on another board: "Nalbandian's family has been placed under police surveillance, because the police learned of threats that a member of his family would be kidnapped. There has been a wave of kidnapping cases in ARG lately, involving athletes' families. "
