London Calling – Day 5 Diary
Tevez Shows Off His Fancy Footwork
Argentina and Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez was courtside at The O2 Thursday evening to watch his friend and countryman Juan Martin del Potro take down World No. 1 Roger Federer and book a spot in the semi-finals.
While del Potro, and the centre court crowd, eagerly waited for the announcement of who would qualify from Group A after the match, Tevez even took to the court to knock up with del Potro and showed off some off his keepy-uppy skills to entertain the fans.
“Maybe if I play Saturday night, he will be here,” said del Potro afterwards.
Cleaners Waste No Time
Just a couple of hours after his close defeat to Andy Murray, which saw Fernando Verdasco eliminated from the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, the cleaners had already moved in to clean out the Spaniard’s locker room.
The players each have their own personal locker room in the bowels of The O2, identifiable by the larger-than-life photos that adorn the door.
Verdasco will be leaving London on Friday to fly to Barcelona to join up with the Spanish Davis Cup team preparing to take on the Czech Republic in the World Group final next weekend.
