After coming back from Edinburgh, Rache and I had just enough time to drop our bags at our respective homes and then return back out to the O2 for the ATP Tour Finals.
The finals are still in the group stages so we didn’t know what matches we’d end up with. Luckily we had two pretty good matches on our card tonight: for the doubles Bhupathi / Knowles v Cermak / Mertinak and for the singles Federer v Verdasco.
Aside from the tennis we were also able to see a few of the players, including Novak Djokovic, playing an exhibition type match on the practice courts. Actually, I don’t recall seeing any tennis racquets, but they were certainly doing something on court. That Djokovic is a nice looking young lad …
Our seats for the tennis were pretty far back so I got to make full use of my 12x zoom camera!
Bhupathi / Knowles won the doubles. Do you think the do this jump quite often?
When the singles match started between Federer and Verdasco it looked like it was heading to an upset with Verdasco taking the first set. However in typical Federer fashion he came a stormin’ back to take the match. Rache and I loved that Federer won but I didn’t like the fact it made me miss my tube!
How cute are their butts?

And in another demonstration of how small London is – I ran into one of my clients tonight at the tennis. What are the chances that she’d be in the same section and watching the same game!
