Tonight my Mummy picked me up from work and after a little miscommunication between Dad and I, Mum and I were on our way to the Brisbane International for the night session on Pat Rafter Arena. We had bought the tickets months ago, and when the order of play came out last night we were a little disappointed. That is the problem with tennis: you have to risk it and buy tickets and hope someone good is playing, or you have to risk it and wait until the night before and see the draw and hope if someone good is playing you can still get tickets.
First up was Marcos Baghdatis v Lucasz Kubot. Nothing against Marcos, he is lots of fun to watch and the Cypriots in the crowd always make it entertaining. But Mum saw him play yesterday while she was at the Brisbane International and we had both seen him play in Melbourne numerous times. It was the first time I'd seen Lucasz play and I was kind of impressed... Baghdatis ran away with it in the end.
Second up was Mardy Fish v Radek Stepanek. Hmm, now how do I put this nicely?!... OK, lets just say that I REALLY REALLY wanted Mardy to win. I actually like watching Mardy play a lot. I'm not so fond of Stepanek. Mardy was off his game tonight and it was disappointing to see him lose the way he did. Hopefully he gets it all together before the Australian Open in 11 days time!
Also want to send a huge shout out to my friend Donna who, along with her hubby T, went out of their way to ensure that I had somewhere to park my car tonight! Thanks heaps guys! Really appreciate it! It was so nice to be able to jump in the car at the end of play and not have to worry about trains etc.
I put my camera on the charger this morning so that I could include some photos with this post... However, that little miscommunication I mentioned at the start resulted in my camera being in the wrong car, which, of course, we only realised once we were in the stadium. Sorry!
I will try and include photos where possible from now on :)
xx love Breanna
