The ATP Tour hits Roma

Inter lost the derby 2-1 and Roma beat Samp 3-0 so in theory the scudetto isn't over yet. Although it will take a miracle for us to win the title. I don't see Siena or Parma beating Inter unfortunately. I spent Sunday afternoon switching between the two matches. The last 15 minutes of the Inter match were so painful. I was convinced they would score. At least this keeps Mancini quiet for another week.


The parents have been in town so I'm now stocked up on all the yummie food I cant get here. They brought over half of the Marks and Spencers Food court with them! Great!


Yesterday we went to the International Men's Tennis. I have to say that I prefer this to Wimbledon. There are less people and you can walk around freely and you are so much closer to the courts and players. This year they have done up the grounds and I have to say I was very impressed. I'm looking forward to the new stadium which should be complete for the tournament in 2010. Obviously not everything ran so smoothly....I would worry if it did! It seems the seat numbers on your tickets aren't actually the right numbers!! We were given different numbers when we entered the stadium which caused much confusion!!


One of the highlights of the day was seeing il Capitano watching Federer along with David Pizarro. See my paparazzi shot below! He was hobbling along... hope to see him back on the pitch soon!


I also got to see Nadal practicing. He was looking good and I hope he retains the title. Also glad to see that Nicolas Lapentti hasn't lost any of his good looks!! Here are a couple of pics for the girls!
