That match wasn't that fun, and I'm not expecting much from Clijsters/Radwanska. Unless Agi pulls another 2007 Sharapova whamajama, it should be over quickly

...okay, Vera isn't quite the flake she used to be. I'd like to see either her or Li Na take the title. I'm bored with Clijsters and her storyline (not her fault, obviously), and Wozzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
I'm awake, I swear!
Anyway, I noticed a couple things about Kvitova. She was very close to a wardrobe malfunction every time she bent over to return serve. Also, she's sporting quite a belly. With her movement as bad as it is, she should be more careful not to carry any extra weight at all, IMO.
Not the fucking Vegemite again. Is it in ESPN's contract or something? Jesus.

It is bizarre to me that she managed to find a top that was both too big and too small at the same time. Did you see her legs? She'd be a stunner if she lost the spare tire, and she'd move way better too. She is on her way though, she's thinner than she was last year.
I'm watching Zimonjic/LLodra vs. Bhupathi/Paes. The crowd is as annoying as the jerks they are rooting for.
Aggie Radwanska is very pretty. Just had to get that out there. And Kim is looking very disheveled with very unfortunate sweating patterns.

Hoping for a Li Na and Vera final as I would be thrilled for either if they won.
I hope Dolgo is able to have a good showing against Murray. I think Andy will win buy I hope Alex can show what he can do as I find his game to be so much fun when it is on. I hope that he is healthy too and his chronic illnesses is not flaring up.
Vera is so cute with the porcupine

I just adore her!
I don't think Dolgopolov has to worry about feeling ill--from what I've read, he seems to have problems with it when he's been traveling (across a lot of time zones for some reason) and when he's eating poorly. He's been in Australia for quite a while and I'm sure he's been careful not to eat any fried foods.

Dolgopolov's hair is just...no. No, no, no. Also that headband thingie in the front scares the hell out of me -- I have curly hair, and I can imagine that kind of accessory becoming permanent, like it or not.
Clijsters didn't look so good tonight. Maybe we'll have a first-time winner on the women's side.

LOL, I have the same headband as Dolgo. Maybe I'll go put it on as a show of support.

Sigh- well I was hoping dolgo would be able to show more why some folks (including myself) have been exited about his potential future but now the errors are careening out of control and I an once again reminded how he has also been very frustrating to watch over the past year as well. Which can happen of course with younger players.
And now the one way match and commentator slobbering for Murray

He looks like a lesbian. I'm tempted to say how impressed I am by a woman doing so well in the men's draw.
I like him, though, despite my rude comments.
I didn't realize Schaivone was married to a guy, and that he's her trainer. I love that she doesn't bow to fashion/style stereotypes, but I would like to see her in some more flattering tennis clothes, maybe a simple tank with well-fitting and comfortable shorts.

HEE, harry! I just laughed so hard, I had to explain to Tikiboy what was wrong with me.
At least the Dog is keeping this set interesting. Does anyone think Murray looks mildly injured?

I actually find dolgo's utterly goofy looks endearing.
While he has areas to improve I find him very fun to watch - although he is often compared to Murray- his stature and movement remind me of Coria.
Loving his fight here.

Yeah,'d I have liked to see Dolgo put up more of a fight against Murray, make it a better match. But here we are again with the "Big Four" *Yes, yes I know Sod was 4, Murray 5" but ask me to name the big four and it's exactly who we have here now Still, one little non-*Fed upset woulda been fun. Closest we got was Dolgo-Sod the round of 16, right? I'm thinking more likd Baggy's and Gonzo's run. That was fun. *Still(and forever) noone's allowed to upset Roger, not in my world. Rafa, obviously(Welll, that's not an upset). Some times Djok is flat out too good and we all know Murray can have his way with him outside of Slams. DePo won that sucker - upset on paper, not on the court. *Sighs* And those stupid quarters at the French and Wimbldon. Can't really complain, guys played fantastically and deserved it. But that is MORE than enough names to be getting on with, like to see Fed really re-assert his dominance over most of them. Rafa, yarite dream on. Also very little chance against Djok. I'm talkng dominane here, not that he can't ever lose matches against them again. Sod, Berdych, Delpo - tsk tsk you are naughty boys, have some respect, haven't you heard me? No, no ROGER wins, Roger wins damnit all to hell. Not you, ROGER. I'd defnitely like to see Kim for the women, but y'know - should Vera or Woz justify themselves that would be a great thing. Not a result I could root against, so long as the match was good. OT: Y'all can stop worrying about and commiserating for me (You were all so very kind and it helped more than I can say) ... I've deferred/possibly canceled the surgery. Getting a 2nd opinion next week. Found out yesterday that over a 5-10 year periord, the failure rate is 30-50%. I find those odds unacceptable. (heh, I believe my direct quote to the doctor was ..... "wait, this may not help my pain AND it may not help my mobility? Remind me again, what's in this for me?  ? Fuck that noise", surgery is not recreational, not a hobby. So that sucks big time, but sillver lining time: Yay, more tennis for me, and semi's and finals and all of the big weekend, wheeeee! ETA: Yay Dolgo, thrilled to see you win the 4th - now let's see what a type of a match it turns out to be! Respectable, at a minimum. Good for you. |
