Hey Tennis Friends!

Today’s shot is from inside the media room that overlooks Stadium Court. The picture makes it seem a lot smaller than it actually is.

It’s a long room full of little desk cubbies that each have a TV on top. Some have stats, some have the current action on court, and some have the live feed from the post game interview room (that we rarely get to see in our sport). It’s pretty quiet, save for the interview audio, and the sound of many fingers lightly typing on their laptops.

This will be my final “LIVE” report from this event as I will become a patron tomorrow, and shouldn’t be bringing my laptop beyond the gates. I hope that you have enjoyed my reports from the 2008 Pacific Life Open!

I’ll see you next time, with more tennis, . . . outside the lines!

Hey Tennis Friends!

Not necessarily tennis related, but I just wanted to share the wonderful view that I see each day when I leave for my duties.

Even on trash day it looks beautiful. This was taken around 9:00 this morning.

Palm trees, snow capped mountains in the distance, wonderful weather . . . and, I’m heading out to watch pro tennis! Pretty good gig, eh?

On the drive to work, and home, you can smell the spring blossoms. I swear it’s like having an air freshener outside!

I’ll see you next time, with more tennis, . . . outside the lines!

p.s. For those who are coming out, be sure to bring clothes for the extreme temps that we have been having, and don’t forget to ARRIVE EARLY!!! ( I cannot stress this enough . . . )
