After some months away from the sport, my Easter break is in Madrid! Today was the first day that the tournament was open to ticket holders, so here follows a photo thread from today, in no particular order. But starting with Coach Andy

"wow you blocked me just cuz I disagreed with you???" yes. Yes, exactly. This is a social media site. I come here to look at pictures of birds and shit post with my friends. This is not a town hall merging; I am not your elected official. I do not owe you my energy, my space, or my time. You and I are strangers that use the same website. I can block you for literally any reasons and that's okay. Take a deep breath. Block me too. You'll feel better.

Resurfacing this old wisdom imparted by a sage internet denizen of yore, as we embark on this new Bluesky journey together:

You didn't make the trip, did you? 💀

Thank you, that's incredibly kind. I'm not a professional but have always done my best to share the experiences I am lucky enough to have.
I'm also an entire year behind updating my Flickr page, there's literally thousands of Rafa 2024 pics to get through. That'll keep me going until he resurfaces!

Fading Tramlines I've been fortunate enough to be able to travel the world to watch Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal play, since 2019. This channel contains videos I shot along the way, so I could share the experience w...

So those that follow me on here may have worked out that I'm a huge fan of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Since 2019 I've tried to see them play as much as possible.
Now I've shared all the videos I took during that time, for those that couldn't be there. Enjoy!

Ok, that's helpful. I'll reply properly at the weekend when work is not distracting me

I'll see if I can write up some notes. Where in the world are you coming from? How many of you? Is money no object or are you on a budget? (That's not being facetious, there are certain tickets that are easier to get as they're spendy). And is there any particular player you really want to see?

I'm busy putting together a little Christmas gift for my Federer and Nadal followers in particular
Stay tuned 😀🎥

The doubles slander was noticeable from the outset. Ridiculous decision and they paid for it.

One of the reasons I'm keeping my account over at the other place. Too much history

Good morning from Málaga. Long and emotional day ahead but VAMOS

I sympathise - I'm at the venue and have no idea what match I'll see in 45 minutes from now 😂

They don't even come up in a search for me so looks like I've had the same treatment.
Which is fine. Not a fan of accounts that just steal others content for engagement themselves. It costs nothing to give credit where it's due

A great performance from the GBR ladies - sadly their semi final is sold out but hopefully they can continue the momentum 🇬🇧🎾

A summary of the day -
the cathedral,
Castillo de Gibralfaro (I climbed from bottom right to top left and back again💀)
Siesta
..and a reminder of why I've come here this week 🤧

Let's go ladies! 🇬🇧

Did I make a Roger gif for that? Yes I did 😂

Booking an early flight to maximise time at your destination is all well and good until that 2:45am alarm call hits 😆💀

Still, I hope it'll all be worth it. See you soon, Málaga 🎾🍷🥳😭

If you’re new to Bluesky, this is a really helpful thread that explains how to use this platform:

I've uploaded some of the GIFs I made onto Tenor, if you search under this username you too can have vexed Roger on your timeline 😉
