Our little tradition with Mark continues. I, again, bought tickets for the quarterfinals of the Winston-Salem ATP tournament. This time we kind of knew what to expect so it was easier and even more exciting. The first, 3 pm, match was a match between Kyle Edmund and Steve Johnson. We got to see them play last year and Kyle won then, but this year, Johnson played better. We were both sad as we were actually rooting for Kyle Edmund.
Right at the end of the first set a guy from American Express came up to us telling us we were being upgraded to better tickets right in the first row where the players serve. I've got to tell you, there must be something about my hat and skirt or something:) We seem to be noticed a lot-haha.
So we moved half way through the first match. The one and only picture I took had Mark's eyes closed.
So the second match we watched was Carrento-Busta vs. Chung. It was a fun one to watch as well. Chung is an up and coming player, but Carrento-Busta from Spain beat him nevertheless. As you can see, the stands are empty, mostly because it's not an American player competing.
We got to see a bit of doubles matches and grabbed a bite to eat.
It was getting dark and late, so we only got to see the first set of Jarry and Daniel match. We had to drive an hour and a half, so it was good that we left around 10 pm.
We had a blast, as usual! Tennis IS fun to watch:) I am sure we'll go again next year!

Then Mark convinced me to stay for the 7 pm match which was an intense battle between Daniil Medvedev from Russia and Ryan Harrison from the USA. You can imagine, the audience was cheering for Harrison, but he still lost. We sat right behind Medvedev's sister or girlfriend or someone and a friend as they kept saying things in Russian quietly. Anyway, it was fun.
