A poster outside the centre court of top seeded player Gael Monfils, who told the media he loves South Africa!
Dimension Data sponsored a Ladies Day at the SA TENNIS OPEN at Montecasino last week. All the ladies were instructed to wear hats and look glamorous. As you can see, they succeeded very well! As Mandisa Ntloko from Dimension Data said: "This is a game all about love", so the proceeds of the day went to the Starfish Foundation. Some of the players popped into the marquee to say hallo before their game, but sadly Gael Monfils (I love saying his name, so French!) was not one of them. Photographer Irene Athanasias was on hand to snap their pictures, though.
