OMG! Today was amazing! We met soooooo many famous tennis stars! I'll start at the beginning. First we arrived in Cincinnati at 9 am. We got there an hour before the first match so that we could look around and stuff. Lana and dad ate and I ate a banana as we watched some guys warm up. One of them was sooo hot. It ended up that those two guys would be playing in the match we watched. We cheered for Gilles Simon (a really hott guy from France) who ended up winning. I was happy for him since he is like 11 seeded and really young. He looked about 19. Later while outside Centercourt I went up to him and asked for his autograph. He seemed really shocked and said (in French) that he did not speak English, lol. I'm so mad I didn't get a picture cause he was hott! haha. Next we just waited around so we could get player autographs. I didn't think that all the top guys would be there but to my surprise everyone but Nadal and Agassi were there. I got tons of autographs on my program. Some of the people I don't know but here are the ones I got:
Andy Roddick (omg, he is sooo hott in person), Jonas Bjorkman, Juan Ignacio Chela, Tim Henman (amazing!), Alberto Martin, Ricardo Mello, Tommy Haas, and Sebastien Grosjean. Here are some people who I saw but didn't get autogaphs: I stood about 2 feet away from ROGER FEDERER and we watched him practice but he wasn't giving autogrphs. Lleyton Hewitt was there but I don't think I saw him, Justin Gimelstob was there, and I saw Thomas Johansson. It was like the best tennis related day ever and I cannot believe the people I saw. I'll have pictures up soon. I only have them of Roger Federer, Andy Roddick, and Haas mainly. My camera wasn't working during the first match or I would have a picture of Simon, who is now on of my favorite players but I can't believe he couldn't understand me, haha. Well, I'll talk to everyone later!
