WOW! I remember when you quit your job and I said something about living with intention...you made such a solid decision for yourself then...and look what you've done!
Congratulations! I hope your journey with SI is full of joy, laughter and great tennis!
It will be such fun to read you on SI and here at home :)

I love me some Gonzo! Really happy to have him back. Agree with wanting a video!

GonzoCam.
Belgrade Zoo. Gonzo. Baby Lions. Done. I know everyone's all about the puppy cams and the Panda cams and whatnot, but what I wouldn't do for a Gonzo-Plays-With-Baby-Lions Cam. Get on it, TennisTV! "Yo Baby Lions. Look! There's your daddy! Aw, I'm just kidding. I'M YOUR DADDY." See?...
Honestly I really don't like that pic..I don't mind chest hair but this is.....kinda gross. I think he's so much more attractive when he's just being his silly self.

Gone, But Not Forgotten.
Fran lost to Caro yesterday. But that's the secondary story. I'll have more on Fran later, but seeing as how after playing nearly five hours two days ago she came blasting out of the gate and, for a set and half, made Caro look like a junior who had no business being in the top 100 let alone...

My bags are packed, my gadgets charged, and I have enough cash in my pocket to get good and drunk at the airport bar. If I can't get back online before then, I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful New Year. Kind of crazy to think that a year after I wrote this I'm now on my way to Australia...
I just read this all again....
What a great piece of writing C~Note. You get Rafa and express it beautifully.

Committed.
If there is one thing that unites great champion athletes it's a sense of delusion. For some, that level of delusion can be comical or eyeroll worthy (I'm rolling my eyes at you, Serena). For others it manifests itself in a self-confidence that seems independent of results. I'd put Fed in...
I love Mary and always look forward to hearing from her. She loves the sport and is funny as hell.

I'll Take Mary Carillo For The Block.
Still cracks me up. "I want it bigger and babier!" Mary Carillo has left ESPN. That's right, no more Carillo waxing poetic about Big Babe Tennis on ESPN. No lie, I'm super bummed about this. I am unashamed in my love for Mary. Sure she's said some crazy shit in her time, and she's cl...

Well that's a nice end-of-the-year present. Not sure what's going on with the Grandpa shoes though. (Pic: Getty)
gah...I didn't see it coming either. Makes me so sad...I really hate change! It was so cool to see all the players out there to support her.
She has much to look forward to in her life and I wish her joy and love on her new journey.

If you look closely, even the forecep is crying. It was that kind of day. Needless to say, I was initially in a complete state of shock. Tennis *without* Elena Dementieva? The ill-fitting dresses, the shrieking screams of anguish, my envy of Vera's always amazing glasses, those ridiculously...

Sometimes Belief and Courage Ain't Enough.
I have no doubt that Mels "believes". Nor do I doubt that she has "courage", which is apparently the word she'll be advertising on her shoes at the Open. She proved both again today when she broke Domi three times while serving for the match, and saved three match points on her own serve wit...

Some gems from Rafa's Tuesday presser: [R]ight now I don't think if I am No. 1 or I am No. 5.... I am Rafa, and I go to every tournament to try to play well and to try to be competitive and win as many matches as I can. For me, important thing is that I feel that I play well, feel that I am ...

The Rafa-less Armada is in France awaiting their Davis Cup tie. I don't think they have tennis on the brain quite yet. So cute. Tip of the cap to you, Spain. You were the better team. No word on whether Rafa's going to hop a plane for the final. But you'd be an idiot to bet against it....
Hey France just has to be better than Spain...it's all up to them!

Why is it dickish for Rafa to go? He can't play tennis, if he could he would be in France, they don't want him @DC, he's on holiday and he's a crazy fan? You can't tell me that Nando and Feli wouldn't be there if the situation was reversed. It's not like he's skipping DC in order to go.
Obviously I don't know Rafa but I'm glad he's going, seems to me he's always putting tournaments, sponsors...coaches before himself. He deserves to go and have a good time.

I'm so impressed by his attitude and his ability to stay motivated to work hard and get what he wants. Inspirational really...
I was doing ok today without crying until I saw his GF Maria crying...that did it. Very sweet really.
He's an old soul and Tennis and the world are lucky to have him.

It is finished. What more can be said about Rafa? He did what he does. At this point in his career he virtually impossible to beat when he is healthy and full of confidence. He had a respectable hard court season before going on a tear over the last 3 months. Since stepping foot in Euro...

You know Judy was courtside for this one.
I wasn't able to see a lot of the match but I'm not surprised that Sod beat Fed. Maybe now we won't have to hear about how great he is on and on and on...I really can't stand Sod..I literally have a physical reaction to him which is unfortunate because I think he's going to be around a long time-too bad I don't like his tennis let alone the person.

I'm still watching the match so a bigger post will come later. Feel free to chat about the match here. But I am warning you: I will be monitoring comments. Want to talk about how Fed is an ugly, hair piece of shit and you hope his kids die in a fire? Go somewhere else. Want to actually ...
I was thrilled that Rafa was direct...he's been asked so many times about this BS and he finally spoke about it.
"Sure, I can beat him" I thought it was perfect.

Q. I have a different question for you. Everyone in tennis loves Roger, respects Roger. He is said to be the best of all time. Yet two out of every three times you play him, you win. You've won six of the last seven times. Who's a better player? RAFAEL NADAL: You like this. You are focused o...

Fernando is not home in Madrid resting for his next tournament that is in...Madrid. He decided to take the scenic route home from Rome with a quick stop in New York City to attend a gala at the Met. Yeah, that makes sense. I don't know. Maybe he got so sick and tired of hearing about Delician...
