Roland Garros - The French Open

The facility was a metro ride from the apartment.... but when we first went, there were NO tickets to be found....
We enjoyed a brief walk around the facility peering in to see some warm ups taking place....

At first we satisfied ourselves with the HUGE TV screen set up in front of the Hotel De Ville... within sight of Notre Dame........ very enjoyable.....

But then a rain out during the finals caused them to postpone the end of the match until a Monday.... since many people planned to leave, I was able to find a ticket.....

Notice the empty stadium.... I was REALLY early, so no one stopped me from entering.... this photo was right before someone on the staff asked me to wait outside to re- enter in about another 1/2 hour.....


I've enjoyed seeing tennis at Wimbledon, Flushing Meadows and now here at Roland Garros.... 



Nadal.... the winner....
