Thailand Open 2012, Impact Arena, Bangkok, Thailand

Sometimes life gives us unique opportunities: recently I was able to attend a the Thailand Open because of the kindness of one of Tina's friends. Thank you very much Pi El...

I had played a little recreational tennis in college, so I knew a little about the game. What surprised me was the: speed and precision of the professional game and also the technology involved in judging the matches (The challenge cameras literally measured ball placement to the neares millimeter!)

We saw two matches:

R Gasquet (France) vs B Tomic (Australia)

M Roanic (Canada) vs J Nieminen (Finland)
