Båstad Tennis!

I've always wanted to attend the Båstad Tennis Tournament near beautiful Torekov in the Bjäre peninsula but now more than ever because Hugh Grant is playing! - Pause for silenced chock - Who knew that Hugh Grant played tennis at age 59, getting on 60, or that he had a house in Torekov, or that he is married to a Swede?! He is married to Anna Grant. Hugh Grant is playing veteran league. He won his first match played last Sunday July 26 at 11 CET against Ferenc Kovacs.

I didn't but I can tell you that I think that he's still a cinema idol whom I have followed since "Four Weddings and a Funeral" (which actually doesn't hold up that well according to my two teenagers who found it cringe-worthy.) Anyway, don't believe me? Check it out here for yourself: Hugh Grant plays tennis. 

By the way, Båstad is known as the "Monaco of Sweden" and has lots to see and do, but the Swedish Open tennis tournament is what really draws the masses. Björn Borg won it when he was 18 and Rafael Nadal won in 2005.
