went today, was extremely fun
saw mathieu beat falla, but inbetween it was so sunny i went to find cover.. and ended up in the practice spot. saw nishikori practice with stepanek at full speed, then halep. then i saw genie and then i remembered fukkin jimmy fukkin connors is her coach now. just stared in awe and took a bunch of pics through the fence. actually saw she had another practice later and called my mom so she could come see him in person (lol, he was her favorite back in the day, she flipped out)
saw more players practice like suarez navarro, gasquet, monfils with kohlscreiber, sock with kudla, monfils with kyrgios (and i was like : when lleyton looked at me through the mesh, i was like a foot away)
saw my favorite ferrer, but he was clearly struggling with everything and it just doesn't look good for him. i didnt even take a pic cause i was concerned with his situation, ha
gilles simon is one skinny motherfukker that guy is so skinny, same with roberto bautista-agut. its crazy how they generate power sometimes when they look so frail tbh
saw vika practice a bit with sasha, her serve was ON POINT
genie on the other hand looked absolutely horrible,she was getting whipped by svitolina
also troicki, janowicz, brown, baghdatis
as for the matches, saw all the young guns. ymer, tommy paul wrecked chiudinelli, nishioka, zverev.
i dont care for autographs but i couldnt resist, got mathieu, nishioka, zverev (he is tall as fukk btw), and alejandro gonzalez. there were a LOT of japanese in the grounds, they had a lot of players... nishikori practice, nishioka, taro daniel, and two women i dont remember)
here's a bunch of random images -> (linked like this cause i dont like how the album embeds). left out a lot stuff but i have to sort through it. feet hurt, have sunburn, but was a great day
edit: forgot to add, i saw charly berlocq with his family just walking around the grounds chilling, his kid had an argentina jersey on. NO ONE knew who he was tbh, it was pretty funny. i know grand slam qualifying is like 90% unknowns, but still
