This match at the Grandstand Court features Francis Tiafoe (USA) ranked #14 in the world takes on Roberto Carbelles Baena (ESP) ranked #87. One of the nice things about the Grandstand, as a venue, is that only part of the seats are sold in advance. The tickets on both levels, around the ends, are sold but the upper level seating on the sides is first-come, first serve so you can wander in there and if you can find a seat then it is yours. That is what I did for this match. It was fun to see the man I call “Big Toe” for a couple of games.

Eye on the ball…. wait for it…..

He looks so happy to be returning the ball.

Batter up!
Choosing which balls to use is a big deal for a player.
