Before we went away, we got tickets for the BNP Parabas Masters' Tennis Tournament at the Palais Omnisport de Paris Bercy which is rather close to our apartment. We got there about 11 in the morning, picked up our tickets, and found our seats. We had very good seats and could see everything. There were about 11,000 people there to see the third round of the tournament. We saw four matches and the players included, David Nalbandian, Andy Roddick, Roger Federer, Jo Wilfried Tsonga, and Novak Djokovic were some of the players we saw in matches all afternoon. We didn't have tickets for the evening session, but if we had we would have seen Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, and James Blake. Not a bad group of players for the third round matches all day and evening. We stopped for an apératif at Café Européen. It was raining so we welcomed the stopover on the way home. Supper was some Chinese take-out and some leftovers. Can't do restaurants every night.
