Welp, if you haven't seen my Facebook status yet, looks like Roland Garros is a no go (for this year anyways). BUTTTTT I went to the Nice Open last friday, which was fantabulous! First I saw the Bryan Brothers play, which was fantastic doubles. And since of course they are so dominant they finished early so I headed to another court where I could watch some other doubles. That part was cool because I was actually so close to the court that I could hear them planning the next point at the wall between each point, sweet right? Then came Gilles Simon verses Almagro which was another blowout for Almagro. But it was still really fun to see because Gilles is from Nice so he had a lot of loud French fans there that was entertainment for sure. And after that match I could've seen Monfils play but no, he had to lose to some american bryan baker. Who the heck is bryan baker?!? Well anyways that got rained out which was probably good for my mental state because I would have just sat there and pouted that I wasn't 30 feet away from Monfils at the moment because of this Baker dude. Whatevs.
So the title of this post...yes I caught yet another ball from an awesome famous person! After the match, Mike Bryan stood up to take balls from the ball boy to hit into the crowd - I obviously immediately stood up and since I'm about a foot taller than everyone here in France, Mike looked me straight in the eye, pointed to me and hit one right into my hands :) Obviously because I'm awesome and he knows it. Yeahhhh that's what's up.
So I know people have been wanting pictures of Nice and such and they will come! Theres lots so for now Ill add a few more of the tennis ones that I have and you'll see the city later. Ok soon, not later, soon I promise!
