An update from my holidays =D
Hello everyone!!!!!!!!
Despite this being a slightly-tennis-related topic, I thought perhaps it was better to post my ramblings in this thread.
Just wanted to let you all know that I am now in Sweden for the Bastad Open.
The most wonderful thing happened yesterday, and I wanted to share it with you guys.
I was walking out of centre court, and right in front of me was Mats Wilander. Mum, not being shy, went straight up to him and told him I'd come all the way from Australia just to see Magnus Norman and how much I love him, and he asked for my phone number! When I gave it to him I explained that the "305" at the end is Magnus' birthday - 30th of May (The other part of my number is of course, Mark’s birthday). He thought it was pretty funny I think. So then he said 'if you come with me to the hotel (there’s a hotel on the grounds where all the players stay. I tried to get accommodation there but they get booked out 18 months before the tournament, so I was even too late to get in for next year..) I will try and find him" so I followed him and the next thing I knew, he'd brought Magnus down to see me and told him I was a huge fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!  
Magnus was so sweet - he came and shook my hand and thanked me for being a fan and for coming all the way to Sweden just to see him, hehe. Then he and Mats posed for a photo and Magnus signed the back of my tennis book (the front is Mark..) over his picture, and wrote “thanks for coming to Sweden!” and we continued to chat a bit but I was so overcome, I was practically crying. He said he might come back to Australia again soon cos he's coaching Thomas (Johansson I assume?) a bit at the moment and said he had great memories of Australia. So I told him he had to come,  . Then he had to go, but he asked how long I was here for, and I said we were leaving Thursday, and he said he'd try to see me again before we leave. SUCH a nice guy 
I can't quite work out how to post the photo, but if anyone would like to see it, please let me know, as I am quite keen to show it off
xoxo

Re: An update from my holidays =D
that sounds like an awesome experience Christina!
If you check out the scudzone pet album link in this forum, you could pm myself or Marce for the password and upload the picture there and then post it in here.
Keep having fun!

Re: An update from my holidays =D
Thats a great picture, christina! thanks for showing us.
Thanks for the message but I dont really know what this flicka thing is
I don't think I will have the time to download the albums and reload anywhere so they will probably be lost soon. I tried to get some of the pics of last week but its not showing for me. I think my firewall is giving me problems.
Enjoy the rest of your trip!
