The first day was a bit of a bore. I walked around just getting to know the place. I saw heaps of players on the warm up courts but I was only there for one reason and that was to see LLEYTON!!!

The second day I was in the Nike shop and I saw Lleyton's mum and dad standing in there so I went up and introduced myself. They were happy to know that I was a fan and were kind enough to have a photo taken with me. After that I was off to show court 1 to watch Lleyton play doubles with Sandon Stolle. They kicked some American butt I might add.. After taking 2 films of Lleyton it was time to head back.

The last day I was back at the practise courts watching Martina Hingis warm up when next thing Lleyton walked through the gate and swapped spots with Martina.  I was so happy.  I pushed through the crowd to get to the fence.  He warmed up for half an hour and then packed his things up.

And to my surprise I was the first person he walked up to and signed autographs. He also forgot to give my texta back and used it on everyone else's books, but I didn't mind.  So I was face to face with LLEYTON HEWITT... And I ended up taking about 50 photos of him. After that thrill, I ran into his sister Jaslyn and got a photo with her..  She is very nice.  Her and Lleyton are very alike..  I also ran into DARREN CAHILL, Lleyton's coach. I also got a photo with him..
