To keep it brief (because it’s bed time), today was the first day we got to see tennis. Free admission. It was the end of women’s qualifying (WTA) and almost the end of men’s qualifying (ATP) rounds.

We saw some good hard hitting, the Indian Wells Tennis Garden and some cool practice sessions of the players.

Ten feet away, those 130 mph serves and topspin ground strokes are just sick!

We also got to watch the ATP draw picked (from a big open tennis ball). Interesting to see how they split up the top seeds so they don’t play each other in the early rounds.

Other than that, just hung out and enjoyed some free tennis. Thursday will be more official (and all day).
