Roland-Garros

I am sure no one will be surprised that when the opportunity to buy tickets to something arose, I jumped on the opportunity! This time it was for Roland-Garros or more commonly known as the French Open. Aside from the two and half hour rain delay in the middle of the day, I saw the top ranked male and female players in the world so I would consider it a success!

View from the top - well, second level

While the seats seem far,the view was actually pretty good

First up were the women. While Serena Williams beat French player, Kristina Mladenovic, it wasn't an easy win. 

Getting ready to warm up

Warming up

Game on!

This was the match that was interrupted by biblical proportions of rain.

Roland-Garros is not exactly set up for this many people having to wait out the rain so we basically stood under a little roof to try and not get more soaked than we already were. Then it was time to get the court ready for the next match up . . .

Next up, Novak Djokovic vs Aljaz Bedene. Again, it wasn't a runaway for Djokovic but he still managed to find the time to ham it up for the crowd and cameras. The star of the game was the ref who took quite a ribbing from Djokovic throughout the last set.

Getting ready to begin

Now I have gone through the rite of passage that is Roland-Garros so feeling a little more French than before . . .
