Week two proved to be just as thrilling as week one. Roddick upset RFed (insert sad face) and the Williams sisters continued to roll through competition until the end of the week. #1 seed Victoria Azarenka went down in the semi-finals to Radwanska. Nadal withdrew from the semis before even stepping on the court to face Andy Murray. Although the men's and women's finals were a bit of a blow out, the overall level of competition during the tournament was amazing. Fans had to be enthralled with the intensity and tenacity of the player field.

More celebs piled in to see the action. Lots of repeat offenders returned to cheer on their faves, and Jimmy Buffett played nice with double duo Bob & Mike Bryan. Marc Cohn, writer of the famed song Walking in Memphis, enjoyed a few days in the sun too. Other notable names include PGA golfer Keegan Bradley, Minnesota Vikings' QB Christian Ponder, and PR guru (and Kardashian pal) Jonathan Cheban. See, tennis is for everyone!
Of course we had some fan action onsite as well. I am not sure if it was the hot sun shining, the liquor flowing, or the extreme tennis that had some fans acting like it was Friday the 13th, but there were a few adults who attempted practical pranks turned into being escorted off the property forcefully. Proving once again that adults can behave like children ;)

All in all, the SEO 2012 was a huge success and I'm already gearing up for 2013. See you there!
