What a day for tennis -- the Semis


My last day of volunteering...was lucky to get the best day...semi-finals.

Was waiting for the crowd to come in...and there was Federer warming up on the Stadium court.  He wasn't playing until the 2nd match.  His warm-up partner was left-handed...guess he wanted to make sure he was ready for Nadal.  And, I guess he was.

Was a sold-out crowd...and this was THE match to watch...Djokovic vs. Isner.  Most thought Djokovic would cream Isner...and all were waiting for the Federer/Nadal match.  How quickly the crowd ended up staying.  My stomach was in knots throughout the match...the crowd was wild.

And, when Isner won...they gave him a standing ovation.  Everyone was screening...me, too.  I felt like I had seen history in the making.  GO USA!

Since Federer won against Nadal...Isner may win this thing.  (That's the talk of the tourney).  You won't be able to get me out of here in March anymore.
