thats what its like watching roger on court. powerful, yet graceful, intelligent, and can deliver the knock out punch when he has the opportunity.
the 8 days of tennis are over. and to tell you the truth, it brought a tear to my eye to see it end, and to hear roger and james offer their final words. james blake has been through an amazing amount of tragedy and near tragedy. look him up on google and read about it. its pretty insane what he has gone through.
anyway. its over. and it was magical. definitely the best 300 dollars i have spent in a long time. hands down.
we even got to bust out the canadian flag and cheer for daniel nestor as he was in the doubles final. unfortunately they lost, but he did acknowledge jon and i. so we are pretty much best friends now. serious.
a few more days in shanghai, a city i am growing to love more and more, and then off to yangshuo and guilin. then off to whip harms butt at squash, or badminton, or whatever she feels like losing at. hope all is well at home.

Sounds like you are having a great time. I have watched some tennis on TV, but being there live WOW, what chance of a lifetime. It is hard for me to even imagine the excitement in the stadium. But I can imagine you and Jon yelling at the top of your lungs. Look forward to hearing your stories.
Travel safe the rest of your journey. Have fun beating Harm at whatever.
Love and miss ya

Jeremy,Jon I'm jealous Federer is the greatest all time bar none. Blake is both classy and tallented in equal proportion, especially considering all his personal tragedy. Enjoy your strange wonderful surroundings. New cultures are so much fun. peace love and warm fuzzy bunnies.

Hi Jeremy and Jonathan,
Sounds to me like you boys are glad that you dreamt up this holiday - and that you would do it again if the opportunity came to you!! I'm glad you've loved it - I'm looking forward to hearing your stories and seeing your pictures first hand when you get home.
Enjoy the next part of your journey. Hi and hugs to Harm.
Love, Barb and mom
glad to hear that you both had a great time. jonathan was definitely pretty pumped when i talked to him on the phone the other day, after the semifinals.
so, enjoy the rest of your stay in shanghai, and at the next place you're going.

federer is indescribable.
