Two Days in Winnetka — Pics and Thoughts from the 2014 Nielsen Pro Tennis Championship

July 13, 2014 Val and J.D.

Perhaps it was a sign that day that Tim Smyczek was still tying his shorts when he got to the coin toss.

Denis Kudla Tim Smyzek Nielsen pro championships QF coin toss — *“You wanna piece o’ this?”* Kudla seemed to say.

Tim Smyczek adjusting chain around neck after coin toss Kudla quarterfinal — **Smee, making some final last-minute jewelry adjustments. Which is totally different than adjusting the jewels.**

Denis Kudla and Tim Smyczek played a quarterfinal match of tennis limbo, as in “how low can you go.” Their shots were hard and fast, just skimming over the net and skidding across the court. It was exhilarating stuff to witness.

Smee vs Kudla soooooo good in person. I am feeling flushed all of a sudden…. 😛

Tim showing us his preferred brand of underwear. And no, Val did not take a half-dozen shots of his serve just to get that peek. Nope, Val would never. *eyedart*
