Rolland Garros 2007



Earlier this year, having experienced live tennis at Australian Open 2006, was thinking about Wimbledon for 2007 ...



Around May, found out that I needed to go to London in June for business, so thought would catch up with Jem in France before that. As it turns out the dates coincided with French Open (http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/index.html) !


Jem was brilliant and managed to organise for tickets to the men's quarter-finals and ladies' semis just a couple of weeks before the tournament. We saw everybody who eventually got to the finals - Federer, Nadal, Henin & Ivanovic. Also saw Djokovic (http://www.novak-djokovic.com/english/index.htm), whom we both like very much, beat Andreev. Djokovic has moved up to 4th place after his stellar performance at the French, well done! Nox, 加油!

The photo above was taken in the Paris metro. The slogan "Qui peut l'arreter?" means "Who can stop him?". There's a similar one for Nadal too that Nike has put up. It was an easy choice for me whose picture I wanted to take with :)

Needless to say, I was devastated that Federer didn't even come close to beating Nadal at the final :(
