Sports in Qatar



Andy Murray
Well we have just had the Qatar Exxon Men's Tennis here in Doha. It was amazing this year as we had Nadal (World No 1), Federer (World No 2), Andy Murry and Andy Roddick so even I had to go and watch. It has been a but chilly so you need to rug up warm.

Gaye and Anna Voisey and I trotted off to the stadium for the amazing cost of $10 each. We even got seats one down from the "gods" and enjoyed watching Murray, then Nadal and then Federer as win their matches. This was the night before the quarter finals and I must admit I watched the rest of the tournament on TV in the warmth of the lounge!

Andy Murray ended up winning the title for the second year in a row so he will be one of the favourites in Melbourne. The next sport event is the Qatar Open Golf and Mark Brown is playing so we will get along to that just before we head off to Australia for our semester break.
