By now you all know what a rabid tennis fan I am. Actually, if the truth be told, this entire trip was built around attending The French Open. I worked backward in the planning stage, securing the tickets even before the flights.
A shout out to Kensington Travel…we had VIP access to a lovely lounge all day for lunch, afternoon tea (although there really was no tea…Paris is not London…it’s Moët & Chandon all day), and great seats.
The weather throughout our trip was lovely; a bit cool in Amsterdam but that’s expected. But when the sun comes your way at Roland Garros, you better be prepared with your chapeau and sunscreen.
The matches were great. I always try to attend the Quarter Finals as you see the best players.
Ons Jabeur, Tunisia’s only ranked player, came out strong but Brazil’s Maia took her in 3 sets.
Sadly for our American, Coco Gauff, she was no match for Iga Swiatek who beat her in the finals last year in Paris. Coco’s turn will come. She’s only 19.
It was great to see Alexander Zverev back on his game after his injury a year ago. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen harder hitters than Sasha and his opponent, Tomas Etcheverry, from Argentina.
Sasha deserves to win a Major so perhaps it will be this year. We will see….
We are on our way home, thankful for being able to travel once again. Thank you to all who read my blog. I hope you too enjoyed our journey.
I so enjoyed your trip ! Thank you!
