Day 2 AO

Another very long day of tennis today. I arrived early and walked around to see who was practicing in the morning. Nothing special but I had a weird moment with Agnes. She was walking away from the court then I said Good luck Agnes and she stares at me for an entire second before she said "thanks.." it was like she didn't expect it or something. I was thinking oh shit, is she not Agnes?? during that silent pause lol but her thin hair and fila outfit it's pretty obvious. So after wandering around it was time to see Ana for the first time in my entire life! The stadium was suprisingly full when I got there so I was worried I had spoilt my only chance to give her the pink env. But you know the story, I saw Sven afterwards luckily. After her match, walked around into various matches and practices. Saw a set of Sorana/Olivia. The Aussies chanting brought a smile to Olivia. I can't remember who else i saw.. that's how fried I am lol. Kim, Vera Z, Kuz, Roddick, Nole, Venus, Peer, etc etc practising. Oh I saw a set of Alona Bondarenko v Woerle. I was sitting in between the two sides. On my right was Alona's guests and the left was Woerle's coach so I was clapping for both lol. I met Voegele, was talking to her for a little bit but she seems really shy but she is nice :) her and vika are both 11am tomorrow, what a bummer :( I'll probably go to Stephanie's match. I like the smaller courts. You feel closer to the action. Hm, what happened next? Oh yes. The Germans. I saw the first set of Andrea Petkovic she was good. Like her attitude. Seems like a neat freak lol. She folds her towel perfectly and then wipes her face and folds it and puts it on top of her bag. She got called for a footfault over the half way court from the linesman on the other said (ok that wasn't a good explanation lol) then she was like "i've been playing tennis for 5 years and i have never seen this in my life" or something like that. I remember this happened to Lleyton once when I watched a match on tv. I leave her match to see Malek. I really expected Tatjana to do well but it was one big disappointment. She was terrible. So many unforced errors, just trying to go for it too much. She had more winners than Aga courtesy of the aces. Then after a while saw abit of Oudin's match, as I waited for Cornet and Lisicki. Sabine walked past me as she was being escorted towards her match and I said goodluck to her and she reacted normally unlike Agnes. She smiled and said thanks. It was getting really cold and her mum wrapped herself with some towels then I think a strange wrapped a jacket around her lol. Saw until 3-0 then I went to see Cornet's match. At first Alizé was on fire. She was really impressive. Got a bagel. Then she was down something like 4-1 in the second but she fought back to level it at 5 all, then came the collapse. She got a few bad calls (according to her, not sure if they were really out but she was adamant). She started yelling, cramping (but not really), then crying half way through the third. She gave up too soon. Schiavone really ran away with it. Didn't give her the messages because she was crying as she walked off. It's quite annoying that she cried during the match. Ok fine, be sad you lost after the match.. but during it.. it's just a game goodness sake. Saw Schiavone elated a few moments later, ah the two sides of sports. Oh just remembered the court 11 match of the two girls who hated each other. Barbara something something from the Czech republic held serve and broke to win the match. Then she goes to the net to shake hands but the other girl didn't shake her hand. A man in Barbara's entourage boos. Barbara complains to the umpire about no handshake. Someone asks her why her opponent didn't shake her hand and her response was "I don't know, no one knows". Whatever. 

Sorry - totally forgot about paragraphing, and I forgot to mention that my stupid camera ran out of batteries so I only took one pic of Alizé lol. Darn.
