Moraga (formely known as the Stead) Open

This past week, I have been voluenteering my services to help a the Moraga Open, a local tennis tournament, that is sponsored by the Alta Bates Hospital.  I am part of a group of 6 kids working, clearing courts, stowing chairs and doing miscellaneous jobs.  While the other kids are getting paid 120USD for the week, I signed up too late resulting in no pay.  However, seeing as I enjoy helping, I came anyways.  It has been fun working, as I get to watch alot of great tennis.  Some of the highlights include watching the Brogan and Hirshman match.  That match was full of taunts and mind games.  Others include watching Tyler Browne play, as well as Chris Wettengael, Adrian Bohane, Marie Zalameda, Ivana Lisjak, Bjorn Monroe and Brad Weston.  Tomorrow will be the finals, and will be the hardest day, due to the fact that I will be ballboying as well as getting ready to leave California and head back to school.  This year's Open has been fun, and I can't wait for next years to happen.
