Hi all I am in Key Biscane Florida, home of the Miami Sony Ericsson Open 2008. It was a great second day. I took some great Vids of Federer practicing with Kevin Anderson, a now comer to the ATP from South Africa. Kevin is playing Djokovic tomorrow (I will be there, cannot wait.) My boy Mario Ancic won against pretty good frenchman Giles Simon. The match was closer that the result might suggest. It really made me realize how little really separates two players. I will post videos and pics tomorrow, I am too tired to do it now (I drove 4 hrs from Orlando today.) I missed and I only saw the end of Nadal's practice I really did not realize how big of a star he has become. I mean he is one of my favs to watch. But the guy needed 4-5 security guards to leave the practice court. He was mobbed today. It was prety big eye opener.
