Sunny Sunday in Monaco , always better for training hard (players) or having a smart drink at the restaurant's terrace, facing the center court and the sea (me ) .
Most of top players were on court this afternoon, matching against each other (PHM against Richie, Dima / Misha, Ljubicic over Mirnyi, Rafa/Feli, Monfils/ Gicquel) or just hitting balls with their coach or spariing partners(Berdych, Fedex, Bandy, Kolya).
Here are some pics i took before going to watch Marat (he wasn't impressive in first 2 set, at least 2 gifts per game, and get better for finish 6/2 on the 3rd.
The french colony :
The owner of the most beautiful one handed backhand of the world (after Stefan Edberg's one) :
the french wizard, with his favourite shot :
3 quite good servers :
More to come, second part will be for girls .....

El gato in jail, he has tanked too many matches these last months
the ball machine, really impressive when he hits the ball, such a rythm :
One of my favourite player, Bandy, he was angry when he saw Santorro enterring on his court, he would have loved to train one hour more :
Really cant put a name on the guy he was training with, maybe an argentinian friend would help me? :
And last but not least, the master, seems a little bit under pressure, but very easy :
Rafa was training hard with Feli (and screaming hard too) but i will take pics from him during the week, too many dangerous kids around him today ( i'm sure they could kill you with their pen for an autograph
C ya
