Tennis, anyone?

Yesterday, it rained in Beijing. What a pleasant change.

And, because it rained, it ruined my plans to watch the first round men's single tennis match, featuring Federer. It was postponed. Instead, I caught the Serena Williams match. That didn't last long, as the skies poured out the rain with thunder and lightning. Oh well.

Today, I was lucky enough to get another ticket to see a tennis match. Because of all the delays, I really didn't know what to expect. I also don't know why I am watching tennis. It's not even my game. But I think it is because it makes me feel like I am with my family. I really miss them.

So, who do I see playing in center court? Yup, Nadal. Not only did I watch an actual match featuring the #1 player, guess who I saw at the athletes' lounge?AHHH, such is the privilege of having the right credentials.

After a training session with Sean, then it's off to a NIKE reception. The USACK folks invited me. I talked with the lady in charge of athletes sponsorships. mmmm. She will be hearing from me again. For sure.
