Australian Open- The Grand Slam at Melbourne Park

Our first Grand Slam! What an experience. Watching the heavyweights at the Rod Laver Arena was a treat. Safin, Nadal, Del Potro, Djokovitch, Roddick, Simone, Monfils, Tsonga, Baghdadis, Dimentieva, Safina, Williams, Suarez and so many others. The quarters, semis and the finals we'll watch from home, but the buzz of being on the grounds and all the 21 neighboring courts with visitors from all over the world was very special. Hell, I'm inspired to pick up my racquet and bash a few balls with Mara or Tia - (Mo's too skilled on the courts for me!).

And here is what the wild and completely insane Baghdadis supporters were like. If you ever needed supporters, this is what you should wish for. An ecstatic bunch!
