Today, I watched a little bit of the French Open tennis, where I saw Gael Monfils beat American James Blake. That was a long match, it lasted 5 sets and almost like 3 hours! On the women's side, I saw part of the match between Dinara Safina and Maria Sharapova where Dinara Safina beat Maria Sharapova. Oh my, two upsets, I would have thought Maria Sharapova would have beaten Dinara Safina (who is the sister of mens' tennis player Marat Safin). It was a slugfest between the two, with loud grunts by the two women. Sharapova was leading and had like 4 set points in the first set, but lost the first set 7-5. She easily won the second set 6-2, and was leading 5-1 in the third and could have closed it out. But apparently, she didn't, and that allowed Safina to come back and win. I want to play tennis but I can't seem to find anyone there to play with. If you're a tennis player and reading my blog, and you are in Palo Alto or Menlo Park, contact me cause I'm looking for someone to play with. I found out that tennis keys for the Menlo Park tennis courts are $30 for the year for Menlo Park residents. That's not too bad, so I think I'm going to get it. Besides watching the French Open, I bought a bike helmet for $20 from Performance Bike as I'm borrowing a roommate's bike.
And to close out the day, I made steak at night. I think it was ok, although it was a little dry.
