1. There are more people watching Rafael Nadal on practice court 9 right now than are watching Wawrinka and Almagro.
2. The kids carrying around those giant tennis balls are either getting more particular or nobody except 2 very cute little blonde girls recognize Sam Querrey. I saw him walking through the grounds just now and only heard one “GASP! There’s SAM QUERREY!”, that from the aforementioned girls. Of course, those same girls were headed back from a specific trip to see Mardy Fish on court 3. They might work for the USTA……
3. There are still some news people here from last week. I overhead the following conversation this morning.
Woman 1 : “It’s Monday. Where did all of these people come from already?”
Woman 2: “Well, that’s the ATP for you.”
Woman 1 (with some disgust): “Yeah. You can tell Rafael Nadal is practicing.”
Woman 2: “I saw DAHVEED FERRER eating breakfast with his girlfriend this morning!”
And no, in case you’re wondering. I didn’t forget to put in part of the conversation. That’s precisely how it transpired.
4. Nadal has scheduled his practice court for a 2 hour block. Almost everyone else is booked for a half hour.
5. Feliciano Lopez is currently playing an actual tennis match with his shirt tucked in. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen this before. It doesn’t help that the shorts are royal blue….

Well...I was a LITTLE surprised, since Wawrinka and Almagro were on the MAIN COURT.

Didn't Feli and Nadal do this when they played doubles together? It is funny though ... umm do you have a photo?

Actually I DO have a photo. I don't have my normal laptop this week, so my photo editing software isn't available, but I think I can figure something out.

On Youtube you can actually watch Nadal practicing. Nothing on the Wawrinka / Alamgro match though...

Re #1: When will it occur to the organizers that they should put Rafa's practices on the main court and sell tickets? Promise shirt changes every 15 minutes and they could make a bundle.
