Our first
match was again in Stadium 2, so we got a very intimate experience. The first
Scot to win Wimbledon, Andy Murray, was pitted against the Frenchman Adrian
Mannarino. While Mannarino put up an admirable effort, the champion Murray
showed his colors and was able to defeat him in straight sets.
Next we
watched a 3 set match between Romanian Simona Halep and Carla Suarez Navarro.
The only match we have seen so far to go the distance, Halep lost the first set
and then went on to dominate Navarro for the rest of the match – it was really
top notch.
Our third
match of the day was no big deal – Frenchman Giles Simon against the Woman’s
favorite tennis player of all time – Rafeal Nadal! The tennis was spectacular,
the excitement riveting – but the best part was when Rafa changed his shirt
between the first and second set – I thought the Woman was going to swoon!
Our third
match was appropriate for the Palm Springs area – senior tennis royalty of
Roger Federer against young American big man, Jack Sock from Omaha Nebraska –
what could be more heart of America than that! While the dude is old, Mr.
Federer had no problem dispatching Mr. Sock in two sets.
So far,
we have guessed at tickets and we have seen Djokovic, Nadal, Murray and Federer
– God, I love Indian Wells!
Talk to
you soon!
