Hamburg 17-18 May 2008

Over the last last weekend, I went over to Hamburg with Liping and Isabelle. The main aim of the trip was to watch the Hamburg Tennis Masters Series.

It was a really good trip because I got to watch 3 exciting matches!
On the first day, we saw Federer against Seppi (some Italian guy) and Nadal vs Djokovic. The second day was the finals between Federer and Nadal! Super exciting match! Glad we decided to buy the tix to the Sun finals on Sat.


Sat was raining... luckily the court was covered! else the match sure kena suspended.


Sun was all bright and sunny!

The final score - Federer wins!

The next match we watched on Sat was Novak Djokovic vs Rafael Nadal. I support Novak, but too bad he lost to Nadal. Nadal is simply too good!
