Week 27 - Spain F20 ($10,000) - Bakio (Hard)

A pic of Josh that the tournament's Twitter tweeted at me:

Ya tenemos en Bakio al cabeza de serie número 3, el británico Joshua Milton @GBtennis http://pic.twitter.com/VedwDHVyNQ

I thanked them for the tweet, and they just wrote back:

por aquí le tenemos en la oficina escuchando música y ahora ha ido para pista, que empieza ya su partido contra Falcao

So he was in their office with them listening to music and has just gone out to start his match.

Totally off topic: I visited Bakio on a day out from Bilbao while I was on holiday in May (it's on the Basque bit of the Atlantic coast). It seemed quite a pretty place (it's apparently a magnet for surfers in summer), but it was raining pretty hard that day, so it was a bit difficult to tell! wink
