Davis Cup, Allez Monaco!!!

On the 13th, 14th & 15th of April, Monaco hosted Greece in the lower level of Davis Cup Tennis. The weather was not good, so they were forced to play on the only covered court at the Monte Carlo Country Club, with a retractable canvas cover. It was lucky they had it at all, as it was rainy for much of the first two days.



The format is the first day, two singles matches, second day, one doubles match, and the final day, two more singles matches. At the end of the first day, Monaco, or should I say "WE", since I was so routing for the boys in red and white...were one and one. Going into the final day, Monaco had one point and Greece had two. But, Monaco came back to WIN BOTH SINGLES THE FINAL DAY...it was awesome. Prince Albert was there, CHEERING BOISTEROUSLY....for his team. There was a small crowd, but it was loud and enjoyed the tennis immensely.

I did not take these photos, my friend Valentina's brother did, and I say thank you to him, as they are just great....enjoy!


That's our Prince with the ball cap on, his cousin to his right and fiance to his left. Art got a handshake from the Prince on the final day of the matches. The view from the courts...just amazing! Hard to keep your concentration....for me, at least!

AND THE BEST PART...MONACO WON, SO IN JULY, THEY WILL BE AT HOME TO TAKE ON ALGERIA...AND WE HOPE TO BE THERE FOR THAT, TOO!
