Rotterdam 2004 first round

[Francine]

Just got back from a great day at Rotterdam. I arrived at about noon when Albert Costa's match had just finished, so me and my friend decided to walk around the courts for a while before attending the next match. We went to the practiced courts and Juanqui and Rainer were practising, so I watched their practise session and got Juanqui to sign my programm afterwards. I wished him good luck for tommorows match and he thanked me and gave a sweet smile, so I was like ;D the rest of the day, just couldn't believe that I was only at the tournament for 30 minutes and I already had run into my absolute favorite player, lol.

After that I watched Sichrapan against Davydenko. which Davydenko won pretty easily and Sluiter - Corretja which Raemon won pretty easily, Alex made way to much unforced errors.

After that match I went to court 1 and watched Rainer's doubles match, which he won and I watched Bjorkman/Johansson against Damn/Suk. The Swedes lost, but I had a great time cause I only sat about 5 meters away from them, so I had a great view ;D

Then I wayched Verlerk-Nieminen. Jarkko won, in a great atmosphere. Verkerk just played really bad and my father, who had joined me just before that match, concluded that he just can't tennis, onle serve .
After that I saw a few games of Henman-Robredo, but then we left because my father has to work early tomorrow and he was giving me a ride home .

I didn't make any pictures beecause CC is too big and my digital camera can't really zoom in, maybe I'll make some tomorrow.

Juanqui, Rogi and Lleyton tomorrow!

Thanks for the report, Francine! Hehe, Juanqui was his usual nice self, but I too would have been walking on air Heh, that's even if I had the courage to speak to him, LOL!

I'm so pumped that Jarkko won, at least one of my guys proved he could beat a Dutchie on Center Court against a huge crowd ;D Can't wait for Juanqui to do the same! ;D
