largest tennis group. I have bought a group of tickets for the matches on Monday,
Wednesday, Friday evenings and for the Sunday Finals. Monday is an exhibition
between Marat Safin and Pete Sampras a rematch of the 2000 US Open finals.
Hopefully Pete will do better this time!! Also confirmed are the Bryan Brothers
for Wednesday night. Special Friday Day for the kids, after class Friday morning
we are going to go to the matches and twenty of you will get to go to the players
tunnel and give them high fives on their way to the court. You know you will
probably find me roaming around the grounds trying to find Fernando Gonzalez or
the other good looking Spanish players! Mindy might be talking with her former
Thousand Oaks student Sam Querry. For more ticket information please send me an
email or give me a call to reserve your tickets before I run out.
