I'll start by telling you what I learned on day one of this lovely tournament (well, except the weather, but that's a different story). First of all, drivers are fanastic sources of information. One of my drivers was full of interesting stories. Don't worry – you'll hear more about the dirt later.
I also learned that having the last name Murray creates some serious confusion in terms of being picked up and dropped off from the tournament. On Monday, the lovely lady at the "driver's booth" at my hotel informed me that I had already left for the tournament. As you can imagine, this came as something of a surprise to me, considering the fact that I was, technically speaking, standing right in front of her. "Oh. You aren't with THOSE Murrays, I guess". As it turns out, Andy Murray is staying at my hotel. I'm sure that as the week progresses, this will create some more confusion – I'll keep you updated. Maybe on a lark, I'll say "yes" the next time somebody asks me if I'm related to "the tennis player".
And now for the interesting bit. You're probably wondering about the title. I should qualify that by saying that SOME ATP players are pigs. It just so happened that I ran into at least four players on Monday that have porcine tendancies. Judging by the reaction one particularly attractive journalist got, oggling is de rigeur on the men's tour. I personally watched a German player look down this woman's shirt TWICE. Poor form, Tommy. Very poor form. There was another player who did something similar, but he is young and sort of innocent and it reminded me more of when my five year old son looks up the skirts of the mannequins. He just "wanted to see what was up there".
Stay tuned – I'm sure as the tournament progresses, I'll have increasingly interesting stories. Except for Nadal and Federer of course – those two are annoyingly well-behaved.
