Roland Garros 2005
As all healthy men know, Roland Garros is not about tennis at all. After many thumbs up remarks about
last year's lucky butt shot, we decided to turn that specific body part into this year's photo theme. As you can see, Joost' well trained eyes are perfectly fit for the spotting job ;-)

ABN Amro 2005
Like
every year, Johan and I went to the ABN Amro tennis tournament again. This time we saw no. 1 ranked Roger Federer win his semi-final match, to reach the finals which he would eventually win.

Dreamteam Dinner
We had dinner with the tennis guys, or as we like to call ourselves: The Dreamteam.

Zandvoort
The tennis and squash guys gave me a free ride on the Zandvoort racing track last year for my birthday, so I went there last Saturday. It was a lot of fun and even usefull to learn how to control your car in very difficult circumstances, like when your driving on the extreme wet or even on ice. Amazing how applying the correct breaking, steering and throttle techniques at the right time can help you control a car that seems completely out of control.

Roland Garros 2004
We went to the Roland Garros grandslam tennis tournament again in Paris, I guess this year was about the 4th or 5th time. As you can see from this picture, the view was excellent ... ;-))

Krajicek's tournament
This year, the ABN AMRO tennis tournament was led by Richard Krajicek for the first time, which probably was the reason for the strong line-up. Johan and I watched Sjeng Schalken vs Raemon Sluiter and John van Lottum versus Juan Carlos Ferrero. The Spanish supporters were chanting against the Dutch, that was fun.

Roland Garros 2003
Oui, oui, oui, Paris, Paris. This year we saw Martin Verkerk play his first round match wich he only won just, having matchpoints against. At that time we didn't know yet that he would reach the finals!

Roland Garros 2002
Another Roland Garros, unfortunately with a lot of rain. Highlight of the trip this time was of course Joost having a Haagen-Dazs icecream together with Anna Kournikova ;-)

Roland Garros 2001
Paris and Tennis, excellent combination, this is the second time we went there. Luckily we were back on time, just 2 weeks later Vincent was born prematurely. If I'd known that I'd probably not have gone...

Roland Garros 2000
This year we tried to go to Roland Garros but we didn't manage ;-(. Hester and I went on holiday to Martinique, which is overseas French territory, which is why on our way back we had a stop over in Paris very early in the morning. There we changed our flights from Paris to Amsterdam to late in the evening, giving us almost a full day in Paris. So we tried to get Roland Garros tickets on the black market, which normally should be quite easy to do. Unfortunately, just as we arrived there the police were arresting all the ticket sellers. So all we could do was peep through the fences and have a nice lunch.

For the first time to Roland Garros. Biggest achievement? Sleeping in one bed with Rayon Kosoredjo!
