INDY WELLS
Few flicks from last weekend.
Oak Creek, the golf course down the street from my place.
Sami and Robert analyzing swing videos.
Drove out to the desert on Saturday.
Went to see Donald Young, this 21-year-old American lefty take on Andy Murray.
Murray's been slumping since Australian Open Finals loss and Young, an unseeded qualifier, ended up winning in straight sets.
Robert does not get starstruck and he does not care about autographs. But, after the match the crowd was stunned and everyone was cheering for this kid. He was super humble in his interview and Robert told me that Donald was his new favorite player. At a lot of tournaments the winner of each match will sign 3 balls and hit them into the crowd before leaving the court. Robert said 'I want one of those balls'. There were thousands of people in the stadium - his odds were not good. Nevertheless, 30 seconds later he reached out and caught the one ball that was hit toward our side of the court. He and I then both went berserk for about a minute and acted as though he had won the lottery.
85ยบ in March - you can't beat it.
