I did have a great time. I got autographs from
Mardy Fish, Robby Ginepri, Jim Courier, and of course
Todd Martin. While I was watching Fish player Blake I
saw Todd behind the fence. I went around with my dad
and went up to him and asked for an autograph. He was
really nice and signed a picture I brought of him(one
I took at the NASDAQ this year). He also let my dad
take 2 pictures of me with him. It was really
incredible.

I told him that he was really a role model for me
when I was growing up and playing USTA tournaments. I
also told him I'm still playing tennis a few times a
week and it was a real honor for me to meet him.

I also saw him playing with his coach, wife, and son
in a side court before which was interesting.

After Martin finished playing doubles he and Venus,
Jim, and Jennifer were there getting their pictures
taken and signing autographs. I was standing there
looking at them and Martin's wife Amy and his son Jack
walked right by me and Jack looked up at me. It was
really something.

I had a great time and was really happy I finally
got to meet my favorite tennis player and role model.
I hope to see him in the stands during Fish's matching
at the NASDAQ.
