This weekend, we went to Stanford Championship, an exhibition tennis tournament featuring Jim Courier, Anna Kournikova, Todd Martin, Wayne Ferreira, Thomas Enqvist, and a bunch of other (retired) players. I wanted to go because Boris Becker, my favorite tennis player of all time, was scheduled to play against Jim Courier. Unfortunately, Boris didn't make it due to a back problem that was reaggravated during his flight from Munich. Oh well, at least we got to see Jim and Anna, who played an entertaining mixed double match against Wayne Ferreira and Tara Snyder (a local pro). We were also treated to a well-played match between Todd Martin and Thomas Enqvist.

I think this is definitely money well-spent ... since we only paid less than $15 per person. Hopefully, we have a better lineup next year; Sampras and McEnroe (and of course Becker) are at the top of my wish list.
