It thundered today too

despite the bad weather. A strong ice gale accompanied snow showers. So I spent most of my time on buses, trolleybuses and trams.
Otherwise, the participants of the Tour de Romandie will have it from tomorrow. I never really knew where it was. So in the 5 francophone cantons.

E CD, a bit smelling of some kind of stan’s. But then. Oman OM, 2024 Premiere.

Many ANDs were left without photos in the MC. Here the first-famous.

Oval yes, Lp no. Palestine.

 

Azerbaidjan AZ, 2024 Premiere

KSA at the limit of recognition


Going back home (P4)

I have known Charles for 5 years. And he always had sports shoes with white soles. It’s his trademark. What did he think of wearing black dress shoes for tennis as for a wedding?
I like him. And I appreciate that when he drives by in Monaco, he greets me.


Woche MC/GE 54 (+3) Länder. Kein MNE u. IRL. Gut für ein April.

Asia rules again

The center, the airport, our hotel are full of Chinese and Japanese. I have already observed this increase in MC. They didn’t go there that much before. It’s not the old people who remember Mao anymore. Young, great clothes, great luggage that I don’t even know what it’s for.

First week big wave from Iran. Beautiful people themselves. One beauty started a conversation in the elevator. That’s how I know they were from IR.

If you don’t know how to get rid of money – go to CH. But whatever you pay for them will be great. From food to service. All.


 

Leclercmania jumped from Japan to China.
TV searched in vain for fans of another driver in the cuts.
In vain in the case of Hamilton. In China, there was not a single admirer of a sympathizer of the Black Lives Matter, Green Deal, Metoo, etc. movements.

Entre terre et ciel

Isle of Jersey GBJ 745th


He hears a bang. I’m turning around. People are converging. The person is not moving. In 2-3 minutes the Ambulance and the Police. Gradually another 2. They bend over him for half an hour. Then there will be peace. They are slowly wrapping it in gold foil.

It touched me a lot. How everything is fleeting. I look at the gray sky with dark clouds. Above the country and the city with the best water and air, with the best healthcare.

The Promised City

South Korea ROK, 2024 Premiere

Big dilemma. 2 extreme Lp next to each other. Each will go somewhere else.                        Saudi Arabia KSA, new,reflect Saudia culture and vision, Premiere

I like Geneva. For crystal air and water. For a view of Mont Blanc. On the way from work with  great public transport. For my dwelling.

The Promised Land

I remember how it was for 1€ = 2 CHF. We will continuously see 1CHF=2€. Switzerland is Europe, Monaco is Europe. Certainly not the Brussels EU.

Qatar Q, 2024 Premiere

In the cold from Mont Blanc China. And Qatar original.

Very nice: Libya LAR, 2024 Premiere. Actually, for the last fifty years, all LARs have been from Geneva.

Everyone drove off

so me too.

If I meet any Lp, I will sign up.

MC will have 1 UAE less

Abu Dhabi, FIN bus!, Gibraltar

Charles certainly didn’t play tennis. In black high-heeled shoes, he would be driven out of the clay surface even in a small village.
I know Prince Albert II. was there. But all the media shows Charles. Yes, he would be a great new Prince of Monaco.
Apparently they all flew together to China today (I think from Malpensa).


Sarah De Villiers is already sending invitations

The groom created a crowd frenzy

It felt like a wedding. While everyone came in a light shirt or t-shirt and a head covering against the sun. So Charles continued his transformation from racer to fashion icon. He enjoys business and fashion and society more than the pressure of being an F1 driver. He was in Milan all week. He founded the LEC brand with the best Italian ice cream makers. So be sure to try it.

My overwhelming surprise and excitement. Boris Becker. He won Wimbledon at 18. And then several more times, as well as many other Grand Slams. In my opinion, he is the breakthrough. For aggressive, attacking tennis. Transition to the network. Cheers, you’re only 56 years old!.

Lando Norris (MC Laren), right behind Charles, claimed the fingers of one hand. The Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters is over. A lot of fans came from CZ, PL, D, English speaking. It was a holiday. I booked a stay and additionally checked what events there will be in MC. And then it was the main one. Premiere. She overshadowed everything else.


Langweillige spotters Woche, viel schlechter als im Winter. 51 (-2) inkl. GBM ohne Foto.  Alle 3 GBM d.J. verpasst.

In the shade

Gibraltar isn’t good either.


Even my favorites Djokovic and Sinner were eliminated in the semi-finals.

Daniil had a big extempore in the quarterfinals. He was smashing a rocket. And he shouted at the referee: “Get glasses if you can’t see well. But they wouldn’t help you. You’re blind!”
In those photos of mine, I don’t know at that moment how it turned out. That’s why parents are so serious. And they sit in the car in anger. Everything happened a few dozen minutes ago.
He wanted to win at home. He really wanted…

Posted in Spotters

The excitement was short-lived

I’d rather go to tennis. But the sun burns like hell there.

Well, this looked promising. 42 at the beginning…Until I discovered the 06 at the end. I just want to look Italian.

The big boss arrived in a Toyota and drove himself

The Monaco Tennis club is already located on the territory of France, therefore one of the most influential and richest people in the world had to come to a foreign country as an ordinary citizen. So the outside protection of the Country Club is done by the F police and inside (since both the land and ownership belong to the MC) the Algis MC/IL security super agency. This year, for the first time in a world premiere, artificial intelligence makes the entrance.

 

Waiting for my favorite Daniil Medvedev (world 4) had a hidden meaning. A group of Russians stood next to me for a long time. So I pretty much understood. It occurred to me to look at the man’s business card. Sergey Medvedev. I say: “Papa”. He nods and: “Mom”.
Unfortunately, I only learned this evening that Daniil dropped out. So for one famous gesture – after a sensational play, he adjusts his ears, if the audience applauds – no one will hear this year.
Very nice family. Just like in Prague. The Russians are sensational.

I would probably stay at tennis all day. But it’s hot there. No shadow anywhere. A second after Daniil, I leave for the shadow of Monaco’s buildings and parks.

Winners, losers and Carlos Sainz

They won today and are advancing.

Novak Djokovič, Alexander Zverev (atp 5).

Jannik Sinner and Carlos Sainz. So it was a surprise! On the podium in Japan on Sunday and here today.

It ends with Taylor Fritz, Petr Korda, he is the son of the famous Czech tennis player Petr Korda – they moved to the USA and Cameron Norrie (GB). This is how he arrived and then left.

In the end, everything ended with a downpour. So today without Place etc. So I have Carlos Sainz, but I don’t have Daniil Medvedev. I went to the Masters because of him. But being at the center of the action drew me into the action.

Small town, 30 thousand inhabitants

already this year it saw the best rallye drivers, now world tennis players, F1 stars at the end of May, Tour de France cycling elite in the summer, etc. etc. What’s more, the people between Milan and Marseille have this sleepy settlement.

KWT yesterday still in the inaccessible part, today already ready for handover.
ATP raking pretty much in order.

 

Current world number one Novak Djokovic, number 2, recent comet Jannik Sinner from the Italian Tyrol, world number 3- Carlos Alcatras.

,

Holger Rune, DK 7, Stephanos Tsitsipas, GR 12, Taylor Fritz ,USA 13.

Those who drove towards France looked like this. Pretty nice. A lot of people would have this kind of paint done.
Evening mood on the Place. The first mothers with children came to feed the ducks. 2 yesterday, 4 today.

3x GBJ in 1 day

There were as many buses as yesterday. Almost exclusively from Italy. And Jannik Sinner and other aces haven’t even started yet. The French were busy, the Italians were having fun. And everything is cheaper in Italy. E.g. cigarettes I 5, FR 12. I don’t understand it.


Sarah De Villiers had a post yesterday morning after the end of GP Japan. Charles, against the will of the team management, convinced 1 pit stop. This secured 3rd and 4th for the Scuderia. She directly wrote Charles is our PREDESTINATO.

I couldn’t find that status in the evening. she probably had to delete it, the management decided. At least from Sarah from Suzuka after the race.

Kyrgyzstan, Jersey…

Huge interest in the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters. One of the many buses P. 50% I. The train has a new stop near the campus.


1 minute after the end of the race (at 9 am) Sarah de Villiers (the mouthpiece of Scuderia Ferrari) was already spouting an endless series of praises and celebrations for Charles. I saw it that way too. I hope to see Sarah someday.


Noch 3 Punkten heute dazu! RKA, MNE u. KGZ. Deswegen sehr gute 53 (+3) Länder. Es fehlte an nichts.

MC children played with Rublev and Tsitsipas

far away, hidden from tourists, a meeting of tennis players with MC citizens took place at the Place d’Armes.

Andrej Rublev, RUS (Moscow), best ranking 5th, current world 6th.

Stephanos Tsitsipas, GR (Dubai), best 3., just 12.

Beautiful event. I always enjoy people more than cars. I say, it’s just cans.
So the Mairie de Monaco (princely court, of course) allowed the children to play against (a whole) tennis extraordinaire. Too bad they didn’t invite all the favorites. It will be very difficult to meet anyone else. I hate waiting.


So this really surprised me. The Ni-box, which no longer exists today, stood on the old bridge where the railway line led. And they had the sea in the basement.


We literally have everything here. Everything wonderful and the best in the world. Just no Lp. I remember the stay at the end of May at the GP. 10 days. And the only catch was the CY moving truck. It’s only gotten worse since winter.
