exactly. the dimples are so cute. he just lights up when he smiles. Devilish? for me, in a good way :)))

i did not have much hope Sod would even take this to four sets, let alone win the damned match... so i switched off after seeing there will be a rain delay. and holy hell did he prove me wrong! now i gotta see this thing on tape. massive props for this unique feat of kicking out defending champs and world number number ones 2 years running. i won't lie, i was not super sad to see Fed lose, but sad for his fans who now have to go through what Rafa fans did last year. damn this is depressing. onwards and upwards Fed fans.

that pelvic thrusting Vamos is as close to Suck It RG Crowds! as Rafa will ever get. i kinda like it better than actual, real words. hehe

this match reminded me exactly why i love Masha and her awesome spirit on court and why i will never be a Henin fan. thanks much, Mash.

exactly. and i'm interested to see what laura will be saying abt the women of the WTA once she's inside those locker rooms for realz.

i'm gonna call her Xena from now on. Fer and Xena totally owned that video.

OMG, that pairing would make me so happy it's insane.

one that's dimly lit by Daddy Rezai's car headlights. all while Daddy Bartoli urges Mono on by promising her some Krispy Kreme. i'd pay to watch that go down.

i'm enjoying the cattiness on display, partly because i'm a Rezai fan and partly because i do not like Bartoli. but that's just juvenile me. one thing though, be prepared to get scratched and ripped on in return, Aravane. cos you KNOW it's coming. bring it!

OMG, Andrea is Rafa fan! liking her more and more. new faves FTW!

Jaeger LeCoultre? wow, having a kid is getting even more expensive than i thought. Babymama must be smiling, hehe. also, i can't wait for the pics :)))

no more Ernie pressers. boo. can't he just be interviewed after every ATP match to give his opinion? i can live with that.

too funny. and Sod's imitation of Amanda Seyfried... er, no. but i still would. just saying :P

i guess screaming Allez up your effing ass didn't get Masha shitlisted at RG after all ;)

i'm a Rezai fan but... old swimming pool >>> court lit by car headlights simply because it WAS an actual court. and the fact that there was no war going on might have something to do with that as well ;)

also, no wristband... just the $400K++ watch TYVM :P

oh crap. just how many times can a heart break?! but good on him to take things slowly and look out for himself in the long run.

Rafa and Gael not only share the same color scheme but the SAME shorts! funny how that happened even as he hopped over to the KSwiss side. the more things change, the more they stay the same.

can't Marat just be the tournament promoter for ALL the ATP tourneys?! so freakin hot.

JJ said that to the ump? LOLtastic. she can be such a dramatic b-word and i'll still flove her to bits. nice of Serena to apologize. clearly the girl knows JJ was on the right side of the argument this time around, having been the victim of Justine and her mysterious hand raising skillz. Karen, it does say the receiver plays to the serve's pace... and when JJ didn't raise her hand when she was receiving, she paid for it, Serena got the point. as it should be. and you are right, JJ does it quite often, pausing/taking her time to receive etc. but it doesn't mean Serena didn't engage in gamesmanship herself in the hand raising she did to JJ at this match... she just doesn't pull it Justine style, is all i'm saying :)

in his interview, David says he doesn't like cooking... all the more reason to get with Dinara. make it happen tennis gods!!!

so, so trilled for Ana and her KADs. it's been a long time... maybe this is it, the breakthrough after 2 years of wallowing in a slump. God knows what i'll do if my faves had to endure that. oh wait, there's still Dinara and her back, i might just find out...UGH. keep on Ajde-ing everyone. and don't let any bitter soul tell you that you can't or shouldn't. cos every win is worth it, possibility of losing the match right after it be damned.

karen, i think i know who we are both talking abt hehe and thank goodness fd has yet to be invaded *wink* and the constant reiteration? drives me batty. so sometimes i snark and post the losing h2h or chokes or what not. childish, i know. but it shuts them up occasionally, so that's worth a try. LOL

i have the same hateration of the insane Woz fans. it makes me not cheer for her. ever. cos doing so would mean cheering with those losers and her winning would mean they get to gloat abt it. and Ava, you rock. it's like you were inside my head, it's scary. saves me fr trying to type it out. and failing. :P

Vika/Ernie rumors were pre-solicitation, so i'm more inclined to believe the deed has been done. Pro tennis is high school with racquets, after all.
