Roger's Cup

We all ended up going early this morning in the pouring rain to the Roger's Cup tennis tournament. L had a volunteer shift anyway. We enjoyed going through the sponsor promotions and entering all the contests for giveaways. I won a Sunoco gas card that could be worth $2 or $10,000...I won't know until I gas up at Sunoco with it. We saw a few players warming up in the qualifying round but then the rain started up again. I was able to get 2 tennis skirts for L, she's been looking for a navy blue one forever. K wanted to get a huge tennis ball for $25 but as I'm clearing out the basement, I decided we don't need to accumulate more expensive junk. He did manage to get some Davis Cup player autographs.

Yesterday M and K were lucky to see Nadal warming up on one of the side courts. There was a huge mob at the site. M did manage to get a few good shots of Nadal which I hope to upload at some point. M thought he looked a lot taller in real life. L says he's 6 ft one inch tall. She was miffed that she was working in the booth next door and did not get to see him although she could hear the uproar. She did get to hold the door at one point for a bunch of other famous names, catching her breath every time.
