Not everything should be about making a move to the South.Cecilia and I were looking for places to live in the South of the UK. We also took a break to go to Wimbledon on the 26th of June 08. As a nice surprise, Catalina Castaño, Colombian tennis player was on court number 4! She was playing women's doubles, and her partner was Kaia Kanepi. They won their match 7-5 6-4. It was the second round.
So we watched the match, and after I jumped out of the bench to try and get an autograph. Before I knew it, there were 4 or 5 people surrounding Catalina, so I had to make my way. I asked her for an autograph, she kindly accepted and signed. Only thing I could say was: "Good match!"
Catalina played very quickly. She continuously talked to her partner, and they made very fast moves. Her forehand is good but I liked her backhand better. She also made very clever shots. Kaia was better at strong and long shots.
Another celebrity for my list!
I am a Happy Man after getting Catalina's autograph.
It is nice to go to Wimbledon, enjoy queueing up and then watching players, the environment is very friendly and you get to eat southern chicken with chips, buy a t-shirt or enjoy strawberries whilst the weather changes. We were lucky, only a short spell of rain. After watching Catalina, we watched Marion Bartoli and Marcos Baghdatis in respective matches. The rest of the tournament we were hooked up to the TV and enjoyed the fabulous victory of Nadal, incredible!
