brisbane tennis 2009, part II

a view from brisbane's south bank 'beach' - the two player hotels are in the background. i don't know much about the history, but to me the it's a very pleasant precinct, new, clean, upmarket, quiet, but close to city centre, and served by public transport. (hmm should check out some properties in the area... )

'mr berdych, believe me when i tell you i have the greatest admiration for you...'
'hmmm'

feeling kinda blue, without my regular partner arno......



frenchies in serious discussion, whether marcos would lose this match, or lose his hair first.





a familiar sight at the brisbane tennis... novak on the run while signing autographs (or posing for pics) and being chased by fans

sunset at the tennis centre. hang on, do we know that guy sitting there?








this doesn't happen often in a tournament - a player waiting court side for an earlier match to end. not surprisingly, the other match was veeery long.... for marion bartoli

a bird eye's view... cameras are placed on rooftop to capture the action inside centre court. another creative service brought to you from brisbane.



that's it folks for the blog! more pics (serious action stuff) will be uploaded to the regular vtp galleries...... coming soon :)
