Doha is one of those "big fish in a small pond" types of places. Recently, John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg came to Doha to play an exhibition match. They were both #1 players so they came back out of retirement to entertain us a bit. Khalifa Stadium is a small enough place that there's really no bad seat in the house.

Halfway through the match, a friend from our gym called us and asked us to join him in the VIP box. As I said before, there's not really a bad seat in the house, however, it sure is nicer in the boxes. The nice thing is the prices are very reasonable however there aren't many seats so since they're cheap ($30USD/seat), they go fast.

| It was close the entire time. They kept breaking each other but in the end, McEnroe was triumphant. |
We had a great time and look forward to the ExxonMobil Open in January when my parents will be here :)
