Who can come to Paris in May-June and not stop by Roland Garros? No one! We bought our first ever "general seating tickets" ever and it proved to be the best €25 you can spend for a sports event. We sat FRONT row court side right behind the players during the Bryan Brothers vs Jack Sock and Eric Butorac. I even got Sock and Butorac's autographs (after they lost but hey, it was some damn great tennis, score ended at 5-7, 6-7 so they definitely put up a great fight.) We could hear each sigh after they screwed up and even heard all the cursing. I don't think we'll ever buy tickets for a large arena again unless it's for a finals or semi finals.
One of the Bryan Brothers serving. They are identical and the only way you could tell one apart from the other was that one was wearing a wrist watch on his right hand and the other was wearing a sweat band there instead. It kind of freaks me out when twins past the age of 5 dress the same. But I'm sure it has something to do with endorsements. Aaron believes that by looking alike, it's harder to tell which is which and therefore, they can hide their weaknesses (but being the #1 seed, I don't think they really have any weaknesses.)
We spent ALL afternoon there. We saw a women's doubles match and right behind it, there was an empty court, and guess who came to warm up? Federer! Of course everyone crowded around. I couldn't even get close to take a bunch of shots. But I did get this one.
After Roland Garros, we returned home, got some take out, and then saw "Very Bad Trip 3" aka Hangover 3. It was fun, not as good as the first of course, but the translations were actually decent and we could read a lot of it.
