CAMELOT FANTASIES

Hi Guys, let me post some pictures first. I'll talk about my experience in details later.

On my first day, I just browsed around and took pictures. I didn't get to see too many practice sessions. I was just looking for Andy and somehow I missed him. He practiced before I arrived at the Centre. Anyway, I found Nick Kyrgios, Robredo and Dodig practicing. In fact, on Wednesday Nick practiced until 10:30am and went directly to play his match against Andy at 11am. That's how serious he was about his match but unfortunately for him, he wasn't able to play his best on that day and Andy was just too good for him. People are just zooming in on Nick these days and I feel he's very overwhelmed by that. My guess is, it will take him a while to get back on track again. Look what happened JJ. Nowhere to be found these days.

Before Andy's match on Wednesday, I was talking to a volunteer there who happens to be 16/17 year old boy (a massive Federer fan but aren't they all?) and when I told him that I was there to see Murray primarily, he kind of shook his head and said, "I don't know about Murray today. Nick is a very dangerous player" etc. To which I said, "if Andy's feeling confident, then Nick shouldn't be a problem. So it all depends on which Andy shows up on court today". Then he mentioned how big a server Nick was - to which I again said but Andy's a top returner and a very big and experienced player in his own right. I did tell him that I wanted to see a longer match so that I could see Andy for a longer period of time. He said as a Federer fan he never wishes such thing since he likes to see Federer as comfortably as possible. I laughed and told him 'no worries. Most Federer fans are like that anyway". I don't think he got my joke. lol.

So here's a few pictures from Day 1 Monday. I didn't see any matches on that day so just some random pictures of the arena here.

A portrait of Agassi inside the stadium....they have all others but this one was right in front of me.

Isn't this neat?
