Western and Southern Open

Little did we know when we moved to Mason OH there would actually be some pretty cool things to do once we got here.  One of which is King's Island, a really fun amusement park with some amazing roller coasters.  But who would have ever imagined that we'd get all the top tennis players each year passing through our little town for the Western and Southern Open. This is the stop they make right before the US Open in NY and how fun it was to spend a day seeing some good tennis. From enjoying the morning/afternoon session with Andrea to the soaking up the evening session with Julie what a treat it was to watch Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray and a few others try to defend their titles.  Here are just a few shots from the day!

A couple crazy middle aged women...

Trying to keep my hair out of my face while taking a photo with Goran Ivanisevic who was a professional player and now coaches Novak Djokovic and Marin Cilic. 

Watching Serena Williams get in some practice!

Watching Novak win this match!

The night session! Rafael Nadal for the win tonight.

Roger Federer for the win in this match!

A couple of the important people...the umpires!  Mohamed Lahyani (next to me) presided over the longest match in history back in 2010 during Wimbledon.  Such a fun experience and thanks to Julie for sharing it with me!
