Kan & I in Shanghai Rolex Masters

[violatang]

Dearest Andy fans, I will post some pics and words during our visit at Qizhong Tennis Center here, starting from Tuesday. Enjoy!:)

[violatang]

According to official news, Andy & Ferru would take 2 hrs training on Court# 7, from 1PM to 3PM, then Kan and I went there around 12:30PM in order to get a better position.

Ferru showed up earlier and practiced for about 15mins with this training partner. He looked very very happy and laughed a lot.

[JAMES4578]

Fabulous Viola, wonderful photos!

[violatang]

Still pics from Oct 11th.

Andy started to warm up while Ferru was hitting the ball with his partner. Lovely Andy ❤

Kan & I was wearing Andy's Charity Tee that day. I'm not sure whether he noticed us. :)

[violatang]

Then he began to hit the ball...and smiled
I was totally intoxicated.:hug:

129

130

131

[violatang]

He practiced 2hrs on Tuesday and the crowd was getting bigger. Kan & I intended to get his autograph on our specially made banner but failed. Then we and other Muzz fans were waiting for him at Player Entrance aisle.

Our banner :)

132


We met A-Rod, Tsonga, Simon, Juanqi and other players.

133

136

[violatang]

Finally Andy showed up for the unveil of his Terracotta, playing his cell phone. Really a shame that fans weren't be allowed to enter the site, only media did.

So that's the end of Oct 11th. Hope you have fun. :wino:

[hfwardhouse]

[Aya]

Great pics! Thanks for sharing! :)

[pabbers]

Great pix - I saw the banner on TV!

[RoastLamb]

Thanks Viola!!! What a fabby time!

[supergran]

Many thanks Viola. Glad you had a wonderful time. Your photos are brilliant and I did notice your banner on TV and thought it was fantastic!

[violatang]

Thanks for all the above messages. Glad you love the banner~

Becoz Kan & I missed Andy's practice on Wednesday and he enjoyed walkover. I will skip that day and began to post pics for Thursday.

[violatang]

When we arrived at Qizhong, A-Rod's match had finished thus we sat down and watched Ferru v Juanqi. Juanqi was really in good shape while Ferru made UEs in the 1st set. Unfortunately for Juanqi, he fell down in the 2nd set and took MTO. Finally, Ferru took the chance.

[violatang]

Then here comes Andy.....Black is his color!!!!

141

142


Changing kit <3 Red is also his color :lol:

143

144

[violatang]

That match is breathtaking. Glad he made it through. Below are some pics during his on court interview. Am I the only one who notices he kept moving his hand?:rolling:

145

146

147

148

[violatang]

After that quick interview, he signed for the fans. Our seats were right above the entrance. Kan and I shouted "Andy" when he intended to go off the court. He heard us, looked at us and gave us a thumb!!!!! We were totally shocked with happiness :-)

149

[patmoren]

Thank you Viola for the pictures and comments. It makes so much difference getting pics etc from people that are at the tournaments.

[supergran]

Thanks again. How lovely that he gave you the thumbs-up. Andy always moves his hand around his face and head when talking. As a true fan you noticed that.:laugh:

[Golden Lady]

Thank you so much for sharing your pics and experience with us violatang, so glad you got a :thumb up: from Andy!

[cazza99]

Thanks for the great photos Viola. :)
And I liked the banner :)

[lynne]

Thanks again for the great pics & so pleased you got the "thumbs up" from Andy.....nice guy!!:thumbup:

[violatang]

Thanks for your warm message. I forgot to state that most of the pics were taken by Kan :clap:

[violatang]

I only have two pics for last Friday. If I get more pics from others Chinese fans, I'll update them here.

Andy training around 6PM for 30 mins.

151

And that's me, with other three fans holding the banner and flags. :-)

152

After the match, we went to Hilton waiting for Andy. And finally got the banner signed.:yahoo:

153

[violatang]

Here comes Saturday. Thank you for your patience and I will try to finish the thread today.

In the afternoon of Oct 15, we went to Hilton AGAIN and hope he can sign several pics for Chinese fans who failed to come to Shanghai.

Hi, Andy! :grouphug:

btw, andy is very patient and signed every single photo, we're so moved, he's such a nice guy:thumbup:

[violatang]

Then we went to Qizhong, estimating his training schedule and succeeded. HIGH FIVE!!! :-) He looked relaxed during the training.

162

[violatang]

After the match, we went to Hilton and intended to take a photo with him and the banner. He showed up late, walked in a hurry but he was so nice that he agreed our request. We were totally impressed by his personality.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!:clap:

i asked andy "could u take a photo with our banner", he said "yes, sure" without hesitation. that's my sweetest memory:grouphug:

[pabbers]

Brilliant!

[violatang]

Boyz and girls, this thread comes to the last day finally.

In the morning, Kan and I decided to wait for him out of Hilton. We arrived at Hilton around 10:30AM, wondering what to do when meeting him. We had his autograph, we had taken a photo with him. And we don't want to do something crazy to impact his mindset. So we made our mind just to say "Good Luck" when he showed up. And we did so, tho looking like idiots considering everyone went there for something.

We said good luck to him, he waved to us and got on the cab.

Kan took photos of Ferru before Andy showed up. He walked fast.

165


164

[violatang]

Then we went to Qizhong and waited for his training. Based on previous experience, we guessed he will start practicing around 14:30 at Court #3. We waited there until 14:28 while he still didn't show up. Kan and I decided to go to the player entrance aisle to figure out whether he was out. Dramatically, as soon as we went out of Court #3, Andy was RIGHT THERE on the way to the court. :wave: Kan and I were stunned and Andy also looked surprised. After 10 seconds, we said "Hi" to him. :-)

Luckily Kan took her cell with her and took this photo.

167

[violatang]

When we got back to our seats, we hang up our banner. Seems like Matty was so "fed up" with the banner, we hang up banner when we waiting Andy at Hilton, watching his training and watching his matches, and started to laugh. What can we do? The only solution was to laugh, too. And he became even happier. lol

To us, Andy looked under pressure that day. (Andy, point out I was wrong if you saw this post)

[violatang]

He kept typing his cell phone after finishing his practice session.

173

174

[violatang]

We got good seats for the final, also right above the aisle players come out and back to lounge. The final was fierce and we cheered for Andy with passion. And our boy made it. HAT TRICK in Asia!!!! Astonishing!!!!Wasn't he?

After the trophy presentation, we shouted his name and he gave us feedback. Pls refer to the video. Sweet boy.

[violatang]

We left Qizhong and head to Hilton after that. We wish Andy write something on the banner but it only took less than 1min during he went off cab and entered the gate of Hilton. There were a batch of police around him. So we could only say "Congrats" and he responded.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, that's it for our sweet memories in Shanghai this year. We look forward to seeing Andy next year and I promise we will do better than this year.

Thanks for your support and hope you have fun.

Thanks so much for the pics and blog - truly awesome. Thoroughly enjoyed reading and looking through this. Glad you had such a good time and got to meet Andy. I also saw the banner on TV several times. :)

[violatang]

Thanks everyone for the replies.

I forgot to mention that there was a doodle board in front of the gate of Hilton. Fans can leave messages and wishes on it.

182

On Friday night, one Andy fan & I wrote on it. I wrote "AndyM, take the title" and other girl wrote "keep it real, Andy Murray"

183

Tho I have no idea where the doodle board will be after the masters. XD

[violatang]

Another fascinating gif pic took on Saturday night. One boy would leave Shanghai on Sunday morning and he wanna get a hug from Andy. And Andy agreed!!!!!!!!!!!I was so jealous. Haha.
