SAP Open tennis

Last week we got to enjoy a few games at the SAP Open Tennis championship. They had 4 top seeds visiting this time - Safin, Murray, Roddick and Blake. We saw the first round game of Safin and Murray. Safin was entertaining as usual...giving us hope for a longer match everytime ;) There were some good shots but otherwise Safin had it easy. We did witness few of his tantrums on court but nowhere close to what he is capable of. At the end of the game he spent a lot of time signing autographs and even taking pictures with general public. That was really cool and we would have gotten one such picture if it wasn't for us having no batteries in the camera and not being able to get one there.

Business proposition for next year: Have a stall with disposable cameras and battery.

The other first round game we saw was between Murray and Kim. This game had some really good shots and a good display of power tennis.


The third game we went for was the finals. We were hoping we would get to see Safin and Roddick battle it out, but I guess getting up at 9 for a game was too early for Safin (in his own words) and Roddick just ran into a better player (Murray). We didn't have much hope for the game between Ivo Karlovic and Murray. But it was a lot of fun and very close. Some amazing serves and shot making. I wish these games were 5 sets instead of 3. It was so much fun watching it.

Some pics from the finals.
