Roland Garros Pictures + Hantuchova and Santoro

Hi all

I spent 2 days at the French Open (Roland Garros). Do I need to mention
it was greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat ? :)

I saw great games and spent a lot of time at the practice courts, the
best way to see the players very close. I saw a lot of players at the practice
courts and saw a bunch of games. And if I've to say what was the best...
Santoro and Hantuchova would win.

Monday I saw them playing a double, it was awesome both were smiling, kidding between the points. They won against Nestor and *forgot her name*
They were communicative with the audience. Since Santoro is French I let you imagine how much they were supported. It was on the court number 2,
small one. When they won, Hantuchova was like "oh my god, it's crazy here"
We all did clap our hands for long long minutes and made good noise .

Then tuesday I saw them at the practice court, they were still relax and all.
It's crazy how Hantuchova always smile. Not like Sharapova I saw few minutes before. When the practice was ended (I watched it all) they gave us
the balls (other players never did so far) and spend a lot of time to sign paper, ball, tshirt...

I didn't know them both a lot, but I can say I've a great respect for them now. They made a lot of ppl happy tuesday.

I made some good pictures of them (and also other players) if some of you want some, I got around 6 stored on my gmail addy, so it's easy for me to send :)

(sorry for the bad english, i'm french speaking, but from Belgium :p )

Danka ? I didn't know that nickname.
She's funny when she hits the ball she scream something like "hiya".

I'll send some pics by email to that person, easier for me they are stored on my gmail account.

My Camera is a Konika Minolta Dimage Z3. It has a 12x optical zoom, that's why it looks I was close. Tought on the practice court, I was close :)

I've a lot of other pics of Maria and Daniella, as well for other players. (670 pics)
If Peter can hold some more, there are no problems with me sending more.

Fantastic pictures! You really captured great close-ups and action shots. Nice job Cédric! I can imagine it was awesome there. Good thing you watched Santoro and Hantuchova who eventually won the mixed finals! And Daniela is such a cutie! :)
