OK, so I'm at the club and have been watching some amazing tennis all week long of the 45's National Clay Court Tournament. I took some vids/ photos and posted them here:

The Club Pro, Carlos, tells me to go get dressed and bring my frame back to court 1, as he wants me to join him in having a hit with some "Pro" that is soon to arrive. Being that I was exhausted (just had arrrived from work), I declined. A few minutes later, guess who arrives??? Yup! Mariano Puerta!
(I want to thank Sup2Dresq for not posting about this before I had the opportunity to start this thread. We had been chatting on the phone, and he was already aware of what had transpired).
Puerta, from the first ball was absolutely demolishing it on both wings. (Thank God I didn't take Carlos up on the offer, as I would have been severely embarassed in front of a lot of spectators). LOL
Mariano was very nice, and took the time to not only thank everyone for coming out, but take photos and chat with the people watching.
Two weeks ago it was Elena Dementiava http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=192413, and now Puerta!
Life is Good for drak
Anyway, hope everyone enjoys the thread.
