So I just got back home from Warsaw. It was fun as it always is but I have to say last year I had much better time there.
Anyway here's my report hope you'll enjoy it. 
Day1: (Tuesday)
My first tennis experience on day 1 was bumping onto Anna-Lena Groenefeld, when she was coming back from court #4 when she practised I guess before her singles match. I wished her good luck in German. She seems to be a nice girl, but she still does look huge. I wanted to go down on the outside courts to check out who's practising. I spotted from the hill Czakwetadze, Dementiewa, Krajicek and Henin. But the gates were closed and while I was looking down at the players practising somebody from security told me it's forbidden to do so. :tape: Wtf? I don't even look like a terrorist...
Anyway I decided to head onto the Center Court but it was still like 20 minutes before the match was supposed to get underway. It was freezing... I dunno not warmer than 7C for sure. All of a sudden it started snowing. :tape: It was not a blizzard, just a couple of snowflakes. But can you imagine to see snow in May? :spit: HILARIOUS.
DEMENTIEWA vs TU
It was one of the worst sets of the tournament I've seen. I think there were like 2 service games held a piece - all remaining ones were breaks. Tu started with a DF... Lena didn't made us wait for one on her behalf for that long either. :tape: She was sooo off. Really nothing to describe, there was barely a point worth of former Top5 player and GS' finalist. Tu did well in the TB to clinch the 1st set. As it was a torture to watch I left the CC with friends to watch some matches on the outside courts.
GROENEFELD vs KANEPI
When I arrived it was already *3-2 for ALG in the 2nd set. I thought Kaia would put moe effort into this match. Both weren't playing that well. Basically ALG was trying to hit it hard or when it didn't work she hit it even harder. It paid off that day. At the end Kaia made me hope it can turn around as she broke back for 4 all but unfortunately got broken back at love (4 UEs in a row
). Then it looked like ALG will have again troubles with service game and Kaia actually had a double BP to get it back to 5 all but she wasted both of them (if my memory serves me right ALG served an ace on of the BPs) and ALG won 64 in the 2nd. The only higlight for me at this match was Carlos Rodriguez who was sitting like 2 or 3 raws behind us. I always thought he was much taller and uhmm... bigger. :lol: far from it....
Actually I wanted to come over to hm and ask for an autograph but he left before the match finished. :sad: :awww:
That's it for now I'll finish my Day 1 report a bit later.
