The where do you live question was for "Banks", in response to his comment which I quoted. :)

If you are peeling, you need to put twice as much sun screen on those areas (would actually be best if you could cover those parts with clothes).

hi phamster & to all my friends out there. Unfortunately I cannot go today because I have to review for my calculus test today. I will be there all day tomorrow though and will take a LOT of pictures. I'm really bummed I'm going to miss the Harrison Blake match but its either tennis or an A in class. Sorry for no pics today guys.

btw phamster I'm using a Kodak P880 Wide angle 8.0mp Camera. Its a VERY good camera and very user friendly. You can find one on e bay for around 200

was ryan harrison impressive

yes, when he played king he was just overpowering and serve and volleyed too. His backhand and forehand were reallly really fast. my friend tom said he saw robin soderling play as a teenager and he was not nearly as good as ryan harrison is at 15.
 
Minor report from today minus the pics

I went today and watched Wayne Odesnik and Dudi Sela play. I was pretty impressed by Odesnik as he has a very nice, strong baseline game and a strong lefty serve. Handled Sela pretty easily, now on to the dirtballers, we will see... Never heard much from this guy, but seems to me his game would translate well to most surfaces. Saw Isner and Querrey play a practice match as well... looked like tose guys were hitting there serves out of a tree... hard to comprehend unless you see it first hand. Ginepri was still there and saw him practicing with Fish and some other south american (or European) that looked very strong.

thx drak, its no problem w/the bulk uploader on photobucket, ;)

dude can you do me a huge favor. when ryan finishes a match or practice or something go up to him and ask if you can take pictures of his racquet. also get a tennis ball signed. IT will be worth big money.(someday)

wat a exquisite car

its a vantage, just made a visit on the aston martin. i agree with the $270k, as they would cost in the vicinity of $300k in australia.

geez wats with the amount of these luxury sports cars parked in the car park ...

yeah, the one thing i love about river oaks is that, overall, the women there are incredibly beautiful...plus they don't care if you hit on the back courts which are clay and hardcourt. I love river oaks..it has that backyard-feel.


he he he.. can you do us a big favor? sneak in some photo's of the "incredibly beautiful WOMEN !!!!"

sweaty men are ok too, but the request above might give us a refreshing break from the "sweaty men" ...
