Boys with Lopez

"In a recent regional exhibition match, two local boys, Piers Farhang and Henry Hall, represented the South West against the South East at Boodles.  During the event the two boys met world class tennis professionals, Feliciano Lopez and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

Piers Farhang wrote the following report:

My day at boodles was sensational!  The whole place looked like a palace.   I played on a professional grass court in front of many people whilst Nikolay Davydenko was training on the court beside me!  Henry, Seb and I took pictures with him and got his autograph.
 
After that we said ‘hi’ to Lopez and Grigor Dimitrov and got their autographs as well.
 
As we were representing the South West of England, we were taken to the players lounge and we spoke with Jo Wilfried Tsonga and Gilles Simon.
 
Finally we watched the Boodles Challenge Cup.  Our money was on Lopez but he lost 10 -8 in the championship tie break.   The match was very exciting and I learnt a lot.
 
The whole day was brilliant and i hope they remember to invite me back next year".
