Are you at the NZ Open all week dimitri? Will we be looking forward to more pictures of the event from you?? :)

Thankyou very much!

Andrew Smith of Australia 1st seed of the tournament


I didn't know, Andy started playing for Australia :D;):eek::D:rolleyes:

Thanks for the lovely pics!

Wow! The spectators get to sit so close to the playing area. Just great. U can hear the great smacking sound every time they bring down those big smashes. And the hall looks like a big warehouse with roller shutters. but hey, its really great viewing.

Yeah, looks really nice!! Nice feel to a tournament with some big names in it.

I believe the best position is on the 2nd floor where the flags were hung

Andrew Smith is of England.

I know Nicholas Kidd of England is Australian because in his junior days he played in Australia and now he plays for England. Probably has dual Australian-British nationality.

I dont know weather you can access to the balcony looking area 15ft above the last top row. Can get good shots there too.

nice pics,thanks^^

yeah ... made a mistake there sorry abt tht ...
