Brands is indeed yummy. I gots nothing but shallowness.
I do look forward to FO five set matches though. ESPECIALLY with Djokovic *wicked smile*. So I hope he doesn't have to retire.

Chiming in on the Oracene love. Curly girls, represent!
Tsonga/Brands seems like it might never end. I'm losing interest, Tsonga; give me something to get excited about.

Venus seems to tug on every dress she wears unless it's a polo shirt. She just needs a more secure bra or something. I mean I don't think she wears one in her dress but has it built in but it's not effective. I don't know man. It's troubling.
And Oracene hasn't looked this good in years! That's one amazing weave.
Tsonga! I like him.

Holy shit, is it just me or does Brands tower over Tsonga? Somehow the tallness ramps up the attractiveness for me. I was sort of 'meh' before.
There is a lot of pretty on this court. Carillo would call this match the "Cutie Pie Special".

CLM. That's going to stick until she gets a new design aesthetic. She needs to go on Project Runway and let them do something for her.
Chiming in on Oracene's hair. Lovely. So much better than the brittle blond look.
French of my balls though. I wanted Brands to pull it out. Oh well, Im liking Tsonga in the interview.

Aw well. Good for Tsonga. With that height, serve and willingness to come to net I'm going to keep an eye on Brands on grass (someone remind me of that when it comes to picking my draw).
I'm afraid I'm not liking Venus's dress. Victorian underwear just doesn't work for me as tennis clothing. And just looking at all that lace makes me itch.

Brad is fellating Rafa. I disagree. I don't think Rafa's last 15 matches have been nearly as impressive as Brad does. I'm worried.
They are blathering about the Rafa watch, which is pretty spiffy.
Hey, Chris, Tipsarevic lost today. Rog doesn't need to stress about it.
I don't do a draw because it just makes me nervous. However, I'm going on a limb and saying Safina makes the semis.

My god, I've agreed with almost everything that Gilbert has said about the women's draw. This is unprecedented.

I think Rafa's matches at MC were impressive- Rome and Madrid not so much- but I don't think he will ever play his best clay court tennis at Madrid with the altitude.
I am crossing my fingers that Rafa will win this tournament but I am worried. I think if he plays to his best he may be able- but the crowd will be against him from the get go so he had better expect it. They will always be anti-Rafa and he he needs to just block it from his mind.
I agree with Brad that the winner of the Rezai/Venus will be very important for the women's draw. I would not be surprised if either of them won. I would also not be surprised to see JJ get the title.

Agreeing with Brad is painful, but he made sense about the women. I'm going to watch until these last two matches end and then get some more yard work done. Szavay is looking good.

I like Cirstea's outfit a lot (love the color), but every time she serves, it sounds like she's stepping on a mouse.
Kuznetsova: please don't fuck up my bracket any more than it already is.

I'm unspoiled; I don't have TTC till tomorrow; and honestly I don't much care. I'll take whatever tennis I can get!

I like the outfit too. The detail in the back is nice and I'm glad to not see any of that weird bagging in the front that adidas was loving so much.
Meanwhile, I look at Sveta and I just know there is a better way to clothe her but I don't know what it is.

I think the thing with Kuznetsova is, much like Henin, she just doesn't give a shit about her clothes. If she did, we wouldn't be seeing the wedgified shorts and the shirt sticking to her belly like saran wrap. I'm more vain than that. But I kind of admire her. Better that end of the spectrum than the ridiculousness of Sharapova and Venus.
