2012 BNP Paribas Open VIII

March 15th, 2012

Hey Tennis Friends!

Usually, on the final Thursday of this tournament, there is at least one outer court match. One can surmise, that because of the ten players who withdrew from the flu, the schedule got mixed around, resulting in no outer court matches today.

The giant video screens behind me look so terrible in this video. It’s probably because the scan rate for the monitors is different than the scan rate for my camera, making an odd pattern. The new and improved giant video monitors at the venue really are great, though.

Don’t forget to bring six used tennis balls to the reBounces booth on Saturday and Sunday, from 10AM to 2PM to get your FREE can of NEW tennis balls!

The result for the match that I featured is:

Novak Djokavic d. Nicolas Almagro 6-3, 6-4

2012 BNP Paribas Open VI

March 14th, 2012

Hey Tennis Friends!

Today was USTA Member Appreciation Day! Did you remember to attend?

CORRECTION: Juan Monaco is not from Spain, as I said in my voiceover. He is actually from Argentina!

As it turns out, Nadia Petrova turned around her “bad tennis day”, and made a three set match out of it! I’m happy for the fans that stayed, as the first set was dismal. I left the match when Maria Kirilenko was up 6-1, 3-0 in the second.

The results for the matches that I featured are:

Angelique Kerber d. Christina McHale 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(4)

Mariusz Fyrstenberg / Marcin Matkowski
d. Matthew Ebden / Ryan Harrison 6-4, 6-7(5)

Maria Kirilenko d. Nadia Petrova 6-1, 5-7, 6-2

Leander Paes / Radek Stepanek
d. Juan Monaco / Kei Nishikori 7-6(5), 6-4
