Today, Sam had to attend the Ballkids party at 11a.m and he has just texted me to say that he got an award for "Rookie of the Tournament"!!! Not only that, but he is on Rod Laver Arena for the 4th day in a row! Today he has the mixed doubles semi finals and the women's doubles finals!!!Yesterday was Australia Day so everyone had the day off. Chris went for a 75km bike ride and I did the Great Australia Day 1.4km Swim with Natalie at Brighton. I was very pleased to complete my first open water swim of that distance in 40 minutes! Then it was back to Nat's for a barbie, whilst watching Sam on the
TV ball-boying Kim Clijsters v Azarenko and then Maria Sharapova v Kvitova.
4.15 pm :- I have just been sent a text from Sam which reads as follows... :) Andy Murray was over the moon to find that Ballboy 184 (Sam) will be ball-boying him in his semi against Novac Djokovic tonight :) I'm the only first year to make final squad.
WOW!!!
Brilliant photos from tennis - we have all enjoyed watching Sam on tv in the UK - have been late a few times for work last week as kept being told 'Sam is on tv' - we all thought it amazing to watch Sam on Eurosport and BBC1. Bet he was tired after all the excitement - must be back to school soon for Sam and William. Hope you are all enjoying the heat in Oz - it is minus 5 here tonight and freezing!
ReplyDeleteWell done to Caroline on the open water swim -brilliant time for that distance :-)
Love to all, Lisa xxx
