Roger's Cup, for the second time

We bought tickets to the men's tournament of the Roger's Cup to celebrate our 6th anniversary in 2012.  That day John was sick and the matches ended up being postponed due to rain.  It all resulted in a nice evening for me & a friend sitting at the court in the rain, as well as credit for tickets to this year's tournament.

This year Toronto hosted the women's tournament (men played in Montreal), so we weren't quite as excited since there was no chance we'd see Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray or Del Potro.  But I don't think there could have been a better night to attend the women's tournament.  This is what we saw:


Serena Williams play.


Billie Jean King receive an award.  (She's the one in the purple.)


The reigning champ go against and beat the up-and-coming Canadian player.


 Yes, Benjamin came with us and it worked out pretty okay.  John & I didn't sit in our seats very much at all, and Benjamin slept most of the time.  When he was awake, he was busy stealing our attention and others' from the match.
