SAP Open Tennis

This past week San Jose played host to the SAP Open men's tennis tournament. The one perk of my job is that I get to see some of the best men in the world compete more or less for free. I spent the majority of my waking hours last week watching tennis at the San Jose Arena (perhaps better known to some of you by it's most recent name--the HP Pavillion). This is made possible by the generosity of my club and a handful of it's members, who annually bestow on me their extra tickets.

As a result of their benevolence, I attended, at least in part, seven of the thirteen sessions of tournament. For the benefit of kLog I note that I was able to enjoy an extraordinary amount of tennis, and take my father, Byron, and Summer along, all for the bargain basement cost to myself of one and a half tickets (Summer and I split the cost of one).

Commentary on the tennis to follow.
