Patrick Rafter was one of the best looking men on the tennis tour. I was lucky enough to meet him at the US Open when I stayed with the Jensen's. Once again I was on one of the outside courts, him and Mark Philippoussis were playing a doubles match. No one else was really around because one of the big names was playing on center court. I got to meet both of them and both were very nice. A few years later Patrick was on a practice court at the Open with Pat Cash and I was over at the practice courts watching them hit. They both came over to talk to me when they were done and asked why I wasn't at one of the main courts. We chatted for a bit - Pat Cash gave me one of his signature head bands and Pat Rafter gave me one of his wrist bands. My mom and her friends had been watching the match at center court when I went to tell them about my run in with the Pats....they were a tad bit jealous - you would have thought by then they would have known to stick with me at the Open!
