tennis, life and a few things in between

Yes, one trophy for doubles. Wondering who keeps it?

Pliskova is pretty and seems effortless where Kerber is like, Cinderella, hard working and that’s it. She won an award for being the nicest girl on tour.

Women’s final, winner takes home $3.5m.

Getting up early to work. Face the spider by the entrance again, and some evidence of the ducks and gooses – someone is more diligent than I’m -:). Most friends rated the top one @ 7am over the third one below. A similar one from last week.

A very humid day, temp is at 70+ but sweat streaming down my little braids. 6-4 and 6-7. What do you do when the players in your group never opens a can of balls and has bad line calls consistently?

Here is the video. Another blink moment. This is the last shot Kerber hit to the baseline and won the semi final match. Caroline Wozniacki has challenger but chose not to use it. Everyone is wondering why didn’t Caroline challenge it? No one will hand you a victory unless you try. You’ll have to earn it.

I watched part of Wozniacki’s and Kerber’ interview. No one asked about the last point.

… and at semi against Wawrinka … showing his belly ehhhhh

Isn’t her hair a bit too heavy?

He reminds me of old time Russian players: bad hair cut and bad tooth.

Five sets, in four hours. Won 1 or 2 sets. A similar photo
