In a word: zoiks!
My first day at the Aussie Open. My latest brush with celebrity.
This legend of the game was a mere 10 feet away from me during this morning's practice session. Later in the day, she and her partner put on a tennis clinic in wiping their opponents all over the court. I can't believe that I can now say I've seen this living legend play in person.
I saw tons of matches, enjoyed a few cocktails, got a bit too much sun, and drooled over a few too many fit men. Did you know that high-level tennis is way faster and hard-hitting in person than on TV? I didn't truly appreciate it until today.
What an absolutely brilliant start to my Aussie Open!

**giggle** - "Aussie Open"
That sounds vaguely titillating.

But is Pete Sampras playing? Is he?
God, I love that man...

Trust you to think of the slightly naughty connotation, Dan! But I like how you think : )
Pete's not playing, Christopher. He's safe in the pantheon of the sport's greatest ever players, but he's been officially retired for a couple of years now. But I did get to see him play in his last-ever Grand Slam (US Open 2002). That guy got game!
Jeff.
