Tennis

I haven't been to the tennis often before, but yesterday we were lucky enough to get tickets and see a really fabulous Round 4 match between Jarkko Nieminen(below) and Phillip Kohlschrieber, the guy who beat Andy Roddick the other night.

In fact my only complaint about the day is that I have a bright red face, and a job interview coming up. (Yes, yes, I applied alot of sunscreen. Twice.)
