Things that are awesome: Team Australia and Team Italy's existing. Might have to wake up for Fran/Sam.
Things that slightly scare me: Masha smiling this much and Bethanie's pants...

Cuppin' Boobies.
Fed Cup is this weekend, and in case you missed it, quite a few folks are in action. The tie of the weekend is newly promoted Australia vs. defending champs, Italy in Hobart. And yes, I'll be going. Behind Flavia and Fran you have to give the Italians an advantage in experience, not to m...
This made me giggle and brought a tear to my eye. Can't believe it been almost a week sleep patterns finally returning to somewhat normal. PS. Lucie you one lucky girl.

Pic This: Looking Back at the Wet 'n Happy Slam.
It's been almost a week since the last ball skid across the blue courts of Melbourne Park and, to be honest, I'm still in a complete daze. So much happened and yet, given the gut-punch of Sunday night, it's taken me a while to even remember all the awesome stuff from this year's Aussie Open. ...
I completely agree with you CNote. This is the best pro/con list ever.

I Need To Talk Out My Feelings.
I was out until 5am last night drinking. It is now a little over 12 hours later and I feel like puking. I cannot for the life of me tell if that's just my body rejecting the 6am McD's run and pitcher of beer, or my soul trying to fight off yet another soul-crushing Andy Murray failure. I'...
This was awesome! She was talking to Feli on twitter about a possible Feli cameo.

Don't insult yourself, Petko. Also, please don't encourage John. SHE FUCKING RULES. And so does Nole. You're fucked, Andy.
Great Quotes, I think its gonna be a great match. Love the source. ;)

Air Quotes: Boys II Men.
Q. You played Novak seven times on the tour. You maybe played with him as a junior or something. Can you talk about the rivalry between you and Novak. ANDY MURRAY: Yeah, because we've always been like 3 and 4 the last few years, we've always been on different halves of the draw in every tou...
Nole's reaction is priceless. Love how he is all if you want some scoop you are not getting it from me.

Hey Jealousy.
Q. It's been no secret that Ana has a crush on Roger. She always says that Roger is her favorite player to watch. NOVAK DJOKOVIC: She has a crush on Roger? Q. I think so. NOVAK DJOKOVIC: But you said for sure. Was she sitting in my box? Q. Yeah. Why was she in your box and supporting you and ...
No he was referring to Rafa.

I love tennis. That's all. I'm gonna go get shit-faced now.
The love, respect and admiration I have for him is almost to much for me to fathom.

The Rafa Runs Dry.
The quest is over. It wasn't supposed to end with Rafa limping, on the verge of tears, taking a beatdown out of respect for his friend and the game he loves. But that's how it ended and I think everyone's still trying to get their head around this one. It's a somber mood around these parts....
Respect.

Spot on CNote! It is the same thing Caro pulled when she was on the court in tears against Ana in China (I think. I remember it was Asia). It is not that you win, its how you win.

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...
She is very decisive. I like it.

Compression Shorts, Huh?
As promised, Sam practiced in Sydney today, taking some time mid-practice to sign autographs and take pictures. First time I've ever seen a player take the time mid-practice. Awfully nice of her. Nothing of note to report, really, other than that they were working on her shitty backhand fo...

Required Reading
The Brits are very excited about their young talent. Deservedly so. I wish there were young Americans I liked as much as those two. I don't know. Just because you slap a "It's For Charity!" label on it, doesn't mean it's not gross or weird. In case you missed the Groth Cuss-Fest, here you go...

Spreading The Joy. Or Whatever It Is Andy Plays With.
Mum and Son hit the courts in Melbourne with some kids to teach them the finer points of jaw-stretching, how to be the best tweeter ever, and how to balance a ball on your head while your mom is trying to be serious. Dude. That kid has some form, no? Andy looks worried. Aw...look at my b...

Pic This: Off With a Bang.
Great start of the year for Petko, who takes out Groth in a hard-fought three-setter to make the semis in Brisbane. As is her trademark, she shot her gun and did a little dance before sending a heartfelt racquet clap Jarka's way. Sidenote: Jarka's husband, the newly mohawked Sam Groth, serve...
I don't like the mop hair either. It's just not a good look.

"A lot of people are saying, 'Well, it's not all in the one calendar year.' But I don't really think that makes any difference. If you hold all four slams at one time, it's an incredible achievement. Even three in a row is amazing. That's what all of us are competing against. He's one of the bes...

That one's for DonkeyGrooming. You guys voted this here little rinky dink website (I mean seriously, I don't even have a real URL and I use a fucking Typepad template as a web design) 2010's Best Tennis Blog, as awarded by On The Baseline. I am humbled and I will try to do you good in 2011.
Fer's sneakers are almost the exact same color as the "polo of doom". I actually think that Sam's polo is really cute, I just don't like it for Sam.
Neil: Ana is doing that too. She is wearing the pink dress from last year with the new purple sneakers from this year.

Out in the first round of Brisbane to Becker. Out in the second round of Brisbane to Groth. A sad day in the non-existent C Note/DonkeyGrooming household. See you in Sydney, Sam. (Pics: Getty)

Andy mentioned that he would be practicing with Nole today at 1pm, so with a bit of sleuthing (thanks, Alex!) I found out that they weren't practicing at the Burswood Dome but at the State Tennis Centre, 3/4 of a mile up the road. So I did the walk under the midday sun (which oddly felt like ...
