Tennis Anyone?

I seem to be having a harder time finding a great place to play tennis than finding great tennis to watch. I attended the first round of the Davis Cup on Saturday and watched Calleri/Nalbandian play Aspelin/Bjorkman. I think I can safely say that it was the best sporting event I have ever attended. The Argentine fans were say fun, screaming and chanting after every point. Three of the loudest guys were standing right behind us screaming things obscenities that I have never heard of in my life. My cousin Kyle and I are in the bottom of this picture. Kyle is in the red sleeve-less shirt and I am to his left. The Copa Telmex tournament started on Monday and I was able to go Monday night and Tuesday night. Above is a picture of the first serve by Carlos Moya on Tuesday. Unfortunately the tournament is sold out for the rest of the week leaving me with nothing else to do but right about it. I checked out the Club de Amigos which is a club that not only has tennis, but has basketball, soccer, pools, etc. Unfortunately, they only have annual memberships and I have to be home for Andy´s wedding in October.

Good reading. I´m staying in Denmark waiting for the outdoors season to start.
I lost my first round match at "Skåne Open" in Sweden and I hope to qualify for Båstad and Argentina later this season.
Best wishes

That camera is amazing, I've got to get one. It was really cloudy and raining that day right.
