Hi Claudia--I am new here but just became a Fed Fan Friday at the USO
after watching him practice with Haas for 2 hours under the lights of
Louis Armstrong Stadium. Maybe 20 fans were there to witness this
AWESOME event. I was one of the lucky ones!! Oh the eye candy!! Haas
on one side & Roger on the other , practising serves, volleys,
backhands , slices---he is just sooooo graceful & precise with each
shot. I believe he is like Luke in Star Wars -- that he can just
sense the ball & probably hit it blinded folded. He is that gifted.
He & Tommy were just having a wonderful time laughing at first
because it was getting dark & the lights were not turned on yet & it
was hard to see the ball, so alot of miss hits. Very amusing!! When
the lights finally went on around 7:50pm--the show really began!! It
was really fun to watch them sooooooo realaxed & no pressure --just
having fun--like 2 naughty little boys!! BUT what tempers they have
when they miss a shot. Roger missed one & the raquet went flying over
my head like a helicopter & landed ( I kid you not) about 20 rows up
into the stands!!! It could have cut my head off!!;-))) But what a
way to regain consciensness--with Roger & Tommy giving me cpr!!
YUMMY!! It ended way to soon but not before getting a photo with Haas-
--my real obsession with Rogi began later that night when I had this
wild dream about him(which I cannot describe here ;-0 ) I have been
obsessed ever since & its only been 3 days. So i found your sight & I
thought I might be able to share my Rogi sightings here. I am a HUGE
tennis fan --my fav is Mark Phillippoussis & as always , the GOD that
is Patrick Rafter!! But now Rogi--can't explain it --he just cast a
spell on me & now I am hooked for life!! Thats all for now but if I
am lucky enough to see him again at practise or at a match--I will
post again. Thanks & GO ROGER FOR A GREAT USO!!!!!
