Roland Garros

saturday we went to the French Open which is called Roland Garros here. IT was SO much fun!

We bought tickets for the second court. we wanted to get tickets for the main court but we were too far in line.  But we actually got to see a really good match. It was Julien Benneteau from France and some guy from Sweden. Benneteau was obviously the crowd favorite!

When Julien won the match he threw his towel, shirt and SHOES into the crowd! It was so cool!

its really unlikely that Julien will win the whole tournament but I am going to still think it anyway! how neat would that be if he did win and I got to watch him play on saturday!

Being at the French Open was a really great experience. I don’t follow tennis at all but it was still really interesting. It had such a different vibe than a Football game in America. EVERYONE who worked there was well dressed and very polite! everything was super organized and clean. It really made me want to start playing tennis.
