#UBR Reports 2019

Corinne/Tani: I sent u my msg for Roger via gmail. Thanks and have fun.
Grace.

Girls, I just set you my message. Be happy at Madrid! Eat a lot of tapas, and tell Roger our love.

A little update on the #UBR... No good news to share unfortunately! In the last few days Tani and I have tried our very best to deliver your messages but it has proved extremely hard...  On the day of the open practice we had other plans than the tennis and we honestly thought that they would never allow the fans to sit in the loges section so we gave it a pass, it turned out that we were wrong and we probably would have had a very good chance of success on that particular occasion... Then on Saturday and Sunday Roger practised on court 13, and it is impossible to come close to the players there... On Sunday we told Seve we had the UBR and he answered "later" , maybe he meant at the players' exit but of course by the time we had managed to get out of the stands Roger & team were already gone... Then yesterday he practised on stadium 3 just  before the doors opened, we went to the players' exit to the side of the practice courts  but he took another way out... I left Madrid yesterday evening so now Tani is on her own, she has just informed me that tomorrow Roger would practise again on court 13 so the chances are close to nil again.
It has been very frustrating and the way it has been  going we might have to try again in Paris, but I can tell you from exprerience that it won't be any easier there than in Madrid.
We'll keep you posted!

Thank you for taking this task on! Hope you succeed, but it will all depend. Do enjoy Roger, though, at all costs!

CORINNE: Sorry to hear of your struggle in Madrid, reminds me of what you go thru at the US Open. Best wishes to Tani. Better Luck in Paris.

I'm going to let the girls post the details, but I can tell you that the #ubr is in Roger's hands.
! Mission accomplished !  

^^^ CONGRATULATIONS!!

Here is Tani's report from the UBR facebook group:          
   "So after 6 days I finally managed. It was the first time Roger practiced on an accessible court pfewww I thought it would never happen!! Since it was a matchday and then Roger wants to be in peace I asked Seve during practice if he wouldnt mind taking it. After the practice Seve was kind enough to take it so very happy! Then I saw someone throwing his shirt at Seve. I guess he thought Seve was taking stuff to get signed Someone else gave him a wristband! Seve looked a bit confused and returned their stuff A bit hilarious but anyway glad the mission is accomplished! "

let us be many to support our hero!

TANI I missed your message re Roger's grass season. Is it too late for me now? I haven't been on the Forum since the nightmarish SF. I was too disturbed, I needed time

Well done, Tani!  
And   Corinne, for posting the pictures.

I like Roger's sweatshirt, by the way!

Thank you, girls! Wonderful!
