Sydney International tennis tournament

We went to Sydney Olympic Park to see the men's finals (doubles and singles). I got to sit in the umpire's chair on one of the warm-up courts.

In the men's doubles finals, one of the teams were twin brothers. They were wearing the same thing and you couldn't tell them apart.

The men's final was between Jarko Niemenen (Finland) and David Nalbandian (Argentina). I got Jarko's autograph at the end of the match.

On the night, they officially named the venue the Ken Rosewall Arena, and the tennis legend Ken Rosewall was there to open it. I got his autograph later too!
