tennis, life and a few things in between

Perhaps each tennis entourage or camp doesn’t talk to each other: Roger Federer is wearing a mute pink while Nadal hot pink.  Image if they were to make to US Open final this Sept .. holy smoke my New York is going to be shrouded under a pink spell. .. Btw FedEx is not as sharp as he used to be.

Roger is playing against Berdych in the Rogers in Toronto.  He has gray short on, looking like a midtown secretary to me.  I knew I would feel sorry should Roger goes (retire), for not many players use single hand back hand, not to mention his elegant style.  .. but I’m cheering for Berdych.

Earlier today Maria Sharapova took out Bartoli. She wore the same dress. The only thing I’d like to change is shoulder of the dress, which unfortunately is bit too frilly for my taste.

Maria’s match has half or quarter filled audience while Roger played to a full house.

Some girls just have it all

I always admire her outfits on court

Wondering why it looks so good

Then I realized she has a narrow waist

I didn’t get to measure her – let’s not get too extreme

but I think 19 inches aren’t too far from the fact

She should look great in Maria’s new outfit

19″

Oh lord, I was born with a 23″ waistline

Ok, no mathematician here .. but it was close to that

not 19″!!

My ears are being seriously abused: Maria Sharaova is playing Victoria Azarenka at the Bank of the West Classic 2010 at Stanford, San Francisco.
BUT ..
I like Maria’s little dress, color wise and design wise. It looks wonderful on her long torso on TV :). This picture doesn’t do her justice.
Both girls have similar physiques, tall, legally blond, good looking but their combined grunts just kill it.
It’s a dog fight out there ..

Look who’s complaining about grunt. I played this weekend with my usual group. Before I got on the court, the atmosphere was serene and tranquil. Everyone was playing peaceful then there came the screamer. Sorry I can’t control myself, can’t stop it. Ok, at least I don’t scream after I hit the ball, like Azarenka does.
The cats fight is good. A great baseline match. … but it can get boring: hard hitting from baseline…. never mind, my guests have arrived. Got to go…

The qualifying rounds at Wimbledon
We are having fun waiting on line on the shaded Queue: listening to Serena battling the lovely Maria on the speakers that lined the way. Man, their combined grunts rocked the world. Serena won the screaming match.
Those teens are having good time while their parents or their buddies are on the Q.

Wrong order of the words .. consider it’s London frame of mind at the moment. From Russia with Love, Russian babe gone wrong? Europe trash? Found Maria with diaper on bus stop at Wimbledon. What it IS?
Evian water is as good as baby’s errrr ?? The official sponsors at Wimbledon are tightly controlled – they striped Gatorade naked. Not sure why, perhaps Gator didn’t pay enough to be named as a sponsor? But athletes still like to drink it … so serve it without label. How silly.

The little tree John Isner is battling Mahut in the 5th set and has dished out 46 aces vs the French’s 38. It seems both capable of big serve but very little everything else, the match becomes boring.
ESPN heard me so they switch to Andy Roddick vs Llodra. They are in the 4th set tie break, traded aces for the first 4 points .. but .. finally some action.
