Tennis!
Yaaay it's back here in Buenos Aires!
So today I went to the qualies of the ATP of Buenos Aires, although I usually stay in the main court where the top players are practising and this year was no exception. Well, maybe a little.
I woke up a bit late (11.30am), considering the qualies began at 10.30am. So I got dressed fast and told my dad to hurry and take me there. All in all I got there around 1pm and went straight to the Main Court. Juan Pablo Brezezcky (an Argentinean guy) was practising with some other guy I don't know (his doubles partner I guess) so I went to walk around the other courts and see what was going on. Now, I was going to be there on my own but since I got bored easily I called a friend that was there (that was with another friend but I didn't want to go with them, long story.) and we met up in the main court because she really likes this guy I was telling you about. So we stayed watching him practise but wasn't too fun. When he left we went to get something to eat since it was 2pm already. We ate and then I decided to go see who was playing in the other courts and, indeed, Koellerer was playing. lol. Now, I just HAD to watch this guy play live because of all the controversy and he just puts up this whole show haha. So I stayed there on my own and the other girls went to the main court although no one was playing then. I watched the first two sets of Koellerer vs some argentinean guy I didn't know and it was fun. He kept yelling in German, sometimes in spanish but each time he'd say something like, really long in German that no one understood these guys behind me went like "Yes, yes, I completely agree with you." in a sarcastic way lol. It was funny.
So yeah I told my other friends to txt message me if anyone interesting went to practise in the main court and they did, telling me Juan Monaco was there. I waited a little longer since I do like the guy but I do not LOVE him (plus the match I was watching was getting pretty interesting) untill my friend texted me again saying Ferrero was practising. I basically jumped out of my seat and ran out of the court to get to the main one as fast as I could haha. I was really excited cos I had never seen JC live, it was going to be my first time. So I got to the court and there he was, looking all pretty and eatable as usual. I took lots of pictures, watched how the guys were playing some pretty cool points and yeah, it was all fun. In the end when JC was about to leave I asked for a picture but the little kids were just overwhelming him and I just couldn't. Boo. But I still got to see him. So yay!
Before I tried to take my picture with JC I heard the crowd clapping and cheering so I looked over where the players enter to see who was it and indeed, it was Carlos Moya. Damn his hair is long! haha. I had already seen him the two previous years so I wasn't sooo excited but I was when he took his shirt off and realised he was gonna practise shirtless lol. I had never seen him practise shirtless so yeah, it was a very cool moment where I might as well had had an orgasm, but held it back. Just kidding. :p
Okay so Volandri entered the court after him so they could practise together. Carlos did some stretching blah blah and then they began practising. I was watching, drooling, taking pictures. Watching, drooling, taking pictures. It was like that pretty much the whole time haha.
So this lady came up to me and sat right next to me after asking if the seat was available. She actually started talking to me and telling me stuff about Carlos, how she had been a fan of his since 1995 (she must've been almost 30.) and actually talked to him a lot during that year and other cool stuff. She told me a particular funny story that happened that year.
She had been to every practise and match he had played and had taken like 775843939575 pics with him but the last day of the tournament when she was outside the players lounge waiting for him to come out she talked for a while with the security guy... and told him he had loved Moya blah blah, all that kind of stuff about him lol. So when Carlos was about to leave from the players lounge (he was all pretty wearing a black shirt and nice pants etc she said lol), the security guy tells Carlos "Hey, this girl here is in love with you." And she was like, right in front of him. So she said Carlos went up to her and told her "Is it true you're in love with me?" So she went like "What!? No! Not at all!" and she said he looked down and was pissed lol. So I don't know how, but later on she was like 'oh what the hell I'll ask for another picture' and she did and so she went up to Carlos and was like "Would you mind a last picture?" And she says he put this serious face and was like "Yes, I do mind actually." and she was like "Come on! Just another one." And Carlos goes with the serious face "No. I cannot." so she's like "Okay, fine!" in a sort of annoyed tone and so she had turned around and was about to leave and Carlos grabbed her by the arm and was like "How could I possibly mind? Come here!" And they both started laughing and in the picture they came out like that, all cracked up.
Later she told me "I have no idea how I didn't end up getting laid with him that year *sigh*." Very funny lady, we talked about lots of tennis related stuff. She was cool. :)
So yeah after that I tried to get a picture with Carlos but was useless cos the security people were all over him.
After that I just left the court and wandered along the place since there were no good matches being played and no one else was going to practise. (Okay, Giovanni Lapentti was playing but I couldn't stay lol.) Dad came to pick me up and I left.
It was a cool day even though I got a terrible tan... it burns and is bright RED. I'm pretty pale so yeah it hurts a lot. I've been though worse though so I guess I'll get over it.
I have tickets for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and dad might even get free VIP tickets for Friday! So that'd be cool. :)
I hope someone reads this lol. I'll post the pictures as soon as I manage to shrink and upload them.
