BEST Legg EVER

Last Thursday, Suz invited me to the Legg Mason Tennis Classic.

Due to the early elimination of Agassi and an injured Roddick, I wondered who was left to watch. Marat Safin and James Blake, that's who. They ended up going head-to-head on Thursday night, and I was there to witness what was probably the best match of the tournament.


Safin v. Blake

Now, there are a few things that really get Suz excited: anything related to Maryland, Spain, Brazilians. And tennis, especially Marat Safin playing tennis. Keeping in mind that an American was playing, I rooted for Blake while Suz cheered for Safin. To my dismay, Safin advanced to the next match.

Despite a 2-hour rain delay causing a 7pm match to end at 11pm, we had a great time checking out the tennis studs, especially when we sat within 10 yards of them. I'm learning that a tennis tournament is a great place to go if you're interested in watching some foreign men (with the exception of Blake) hit around a bouncy yellow ball for a few hours.

    Glad we stuck through the rain delay - it provided some much needed relief from the humidity all week! glad you're becoming a tennis fan - US Open, here we come! Promise I will cheer for the Americans as long as they're not playing Safin
