Finally a photo!

The DF was in Philadelphia for a few days last week to take a test for school. He realized only a few days before he left that Anna Kournikova would be appearing at a World Team Tennis event while he was there. She was supposed to play, but she injured her wrist a few weeks ago. The DF has been a huge Kournikova fan for like 10 years, so he decided to pay to go to a meet-and-greet with Anna prior to the match. It was held at a restaurant next to the court.

He said it was really packed in there, but they did take group photos. They wanted him to be the last person in one photo, but he wisely stayed behind to be the first person to walk up for the next photo. According to him, he went up to her, shook her hand, and introduced himself. She said it was nice to meet him. He got to stand right next to her for the photo, which is really exciting! He finally got a copy of the photo today, and he's a little disappointed that he didn't know which camera to look at. He said there was a wall of cameras! I told him he should just photoshop his eyes to look like they were looking at the right camera. We'll see if he does. Until then, I'm just going to post the original one. Well, it's technically not the original because he cut the other people out of it! I was really excited for him that he got to finally meet her and shake her hand. I'll post the story about this past weekend in St. Louis after he uploads those photos. :)

What do you mean "according to him...??" Is there doubt? That is exactly what happened, lol.

I would never have known that it was Anna. I can't wait to see other pics. :)
