What a week!

First day Sam was on Court 3 and was ball-boying Mardy Fish amongst others. Tuesday, he was on Margaret Court (3rd largest show court) and was servicing the match with Ferrer and then Dokic.

Although we didn't go to the tennis on Tuesday (because Granny and Grandad were leaving), we watched Sam on TV instead! Lots of the Boys friends were face-booking to say they had seen Sam on TV!

Wednesday, Sam had an amazing day! He went in at 4pm and was on Margaret Court again. The first match he had was between John Isner (who had the epic 3-day match at Wimbledon 2 years ago) and Nalbandian. It was an incredible match to watch, with Nalbandian playing better although Isner was the seeded player. It went to a long 5 sets, with a bad (and incorrect) call going against Nalbandian at the very end so that Isner won.

Then on came Baghdatis (CYP) and Wawrinka (SUI), an immense game. The crowd was full of Cypriots who insisted on singing inbetween each point! It was more like a very rowdy football crowd rather than a tennis audience, I have never seen anything like it! At one stage, Baghdatis was so cross with himself for losing a set that he broke 4 of his rackets by slamming them on the ground! Eventually at midnight, Stan Wawrinka won the 5 set game and Sam and I got the last train home at 1a.m.
