The Juice played well. Color me impressed. And Venus is meeting all of her bitches (Vera, Tranny, Stosur, Peer) so far in this tourney, so a good draw for her.

Keep Trying, Corgi.
Sam brought her B+ game. Too bad Venus brought her A game. In what seemed like a dude match on grass: big serving and big hitting. The big serving came from Venus, who served at 70% with 8 aces. She put on a serving clinic. Sam brought the big hitting. Her forehand was just balls to ...
Look of constipation or something.

They Do What They Do.
Rafa came through an oddly tricky match against a dude who looked like Sveta's older sister, and Muzzard started his Madrid campaign by not losing. So happy times for all!
As much as I like Ana, her in-your-face fist pumping is annoying as hell. The match against Dementieva, she was adje-ing at Demmy's errors and I just saw red.
So really, I cant fault JJ on this one.
This video just takes the cake.

There's a First Time For Everything
JJ finally beat Ana on clay. And you know what? This match was just horrible. JJ wouldn't hold her own serve until the second set. Ana definitely had her chance to take it in two. But neither player could really get into a rhythm. It was just...bad on both sides. Also, I got drunk duri...
Does it really matter if it's an incorrect word or not? Jeez.
We're not in grammar school. This is the internetz.
Peace.

SHE DOESN'T EVEN GO HERE!
That's all I can think whenever I see MGMT, who beat Ana 64 62. The junkballer played some very effective junkyard tennis to completely throw Ana off her game and bring out the pissy frustrated Ana that we haven't seen all week. Drop shotting second serves, drop shotting three strokes into th...
It would be interesting to see how Ana deals with MJMS's style of play.
On another note, they should move this Rome tournament somewhere else. Clearly the people over there don't care for women's tennis. The crowd turnout has been pathetic.

Air Quotes: Well, Let's Be Fair. You Were Also Eating a Lot of Ice Cream
"I think every player in one way or another goes through a tough time, and I think it is not how many times you fall but how many times you get back up. This tournament and these victories that I have had this week mean a lot to me because I have put in so much work, not only in the last mo...
According to Dementieva's facebook page, she had breathing problems during this match.
For the past few months her tennis has been dire and she just looks lifeless nowadays. It's quite depressing to watch her play, really.

It Was a Big Deal. And Here's Why.
You're looking at a Grand Slam Champion. A former #1 player on the WTA tour. The poster child for the future of the WTA after Justine and Kim voluntarily left the game and Serena's commitment was unclear. She was supposed to be the cheery brunette face to contrast with the stone cold icy ...
I think this is the last year of tennis for Dementieva. Time is running out and her tennis isn't getting any better. Me thinks she's losing motivation now with the tougher competition or something.
As for Ana, woohoo. Now reach the final or something.

I watched the Safina match and I've become a fan of Dulgheru. She seems really sweet and has a good attitude on court.
Safina's defense is pathetic, she always had the huge shots to cover that up, but not anymore. Sadly I see her out of the top 10 by Wimbledon.

Not All Was Well In FD Fave Land
Dina's loss wasn't all that surprising all things considered (but really -- Dulgheru???). She's still finding her legs, game, and rhythm and figuring out if she can trust her back 100%. But Flavi? Losing 1 and 2 to Lucie on clay in ROME? Not good. Interestingly, after today there are no ...
JJ looks hot in that pic. Me likey.
And Justin the Juju needs to go away. I cant imagine a player I despise more.

I think the Justine Comeback Train officially became a reality to JJ today. It wasn't a concept, a banner, or a far off news event she occasionally read about in the paper (pssh...we know JJ doesn't read the paper). It finally hit her where it hurts the most. Justine retired having a 9-0 rec...
I've become a fan of Sod now.

IT WAS ICE CREAM!!! So you're at a party, right? And one of your friends is like, "Hey, I want you meet a friend of mine. We go way back." So you meet her. She seems fun. You chat with her, just making small talk really, and the conversation is actually enjoyable. She's regaling you with...
Ivanovic needs a good draw, like facing a qualifier in the first round.

76(4) 64 to Aga. She lost to her 75 75 in Miami, so...improvement?
WTA sucks. I dont know why I even bother (There are a few reasons, lol).
Finally Juju is out of the tournament. Finally.

Gotta make this quick but here's a pictorial round-up on yesterday's action, none of which I watched. Fer, please get a kit that fits, a racquet that works, and a haircut that makes you aerodynamic. Tomas, please forget that you're in the semifinals of a Masters tournament after beating...
Fuck this shit. Couldn't care less about Murray but these Ana losses are incredibly depressing. Her serve is becoming Dementieva like.
And also, Justine, go away.

57 57 to Aga, 46 46 to the Skinny Sockless Wonder. Fifth Slam, my mother fucking ass. Will update with depressing-ass pictures when I get home. Puff and a prayer. Get on it.
She looks so cute. Le sigh.

Throwing: You're doing it wrong. But the kid was having fun chucking the footbally thing around. She even went lefty for a few throws. Rather adorably, at one point she told her throwing partners to go to the end of the court. She backed herself up on her side and chucked it as har...
Youtubed match point, Caro plays a great loong last point then after that suddenly starts cramping again, barely able to walk to the net. Whatever. Uh, Go Caro.

After having to run herself ragged on a bum leg to secure a win over Vika yesterday, there were a lot of questions about whether Boots had enough left in the tank 24 hours later to beat Bepa. The answer was made abundantly clear today: Physically, no. Unless you count that heart muscle. ...
