Hi...not sure if he already has a thread here but I couldn't see it. Just wondering if anyone has any info on Olivier? I saw him last year at Roland Garros but didn't pay all that much attention to him, however I saw quite a bit of him at the Aus Open this year and have decided I want to support him more ;)

Vous pouvez me répondre en français aussi si vous voulez...or english...whatever.

thanks!! :)

Ohhh ok, so here is a photo I took. Will post some others later!

(He is glaring at the guy that was sitting behind me. He took off his shoes and stuck his feet on the chair between us. Olivier was pullng all these funny faces at him. So funny)

:drool: Thanks, Liz!
Could it be that you were taking pictures unobtrusively, I mean without him noticing??

I need a digital camera...
:angel: Of course not......he didn't even realise so it was ok. I had taken a photo of Paulo just before that and conviniently put it on my lap. Yeah, rock on. :lol:

*sniff* I was supposed to be leaving for Buenos Aires next Thursday, but I can't leave work....I was so hoping he'd come to Delray, thats close enough for me to get away from the office for a day.

Have to wait for Miami, I guess.
