I'm not a fan of yellow and don't own one article of yellow clothing. Djok looks best in black or red, IMO.vwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844758590288473788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-28980832449681548382010-08-23T18:37:05.307-05:002010-08-23T18:37:05.307-05:00LMAO Savannah, it is only going to get worse when ...LMAO Savannah, it is only going to get worse when the Sisters finally hang up their racquets. Head cases, also rans, never was etc. No wonder they are wringing their hands hoping that Sharapova will get her act together and start to dominate, but even her days are over. That shoulder can no longer stand up to the brutality of the sport. <br /><br />HelenW, I think the pink shirt was an homage to his daughters. Funny that fans of both Fed and Nadal are wringing their hands wondering what is Nike thinking putting these guys in pink shirts. LOL I like it actually.Overhead Spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838462340734632101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-42658615760346817302010-08-23T13:44:09.982-05:002010-08-23T13:44:09.982-05:00I knew the video would eventually disappear. :(
I...I knew the video would eventually disappear. :(<br /><br />I'm watching on Tennis Channel and there is no analysis whatsoever. The commentator was just talking about one of the players not wanting to go to New York on a downer.<br /><br />He did just say Wozniacki has the chance of becoming number one if she wins today, the Pilot Pen and the US Open. The days of JJ's reign will be remembered fondly if that happens.<br /><br />Interesting comment about the Russian women and their inability to serve. Wozniacki isn't doing anything but her usual - keeping the ball in play. This is the potential number one of women's tennis. Rolling eyes.Savannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15079111598976360942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-22361077523818327722010-08-23T13:28:05.072-05:002010-08-23T13:28:05.072-05:00Watching the match and listening to the CBC (Canad...Watching the match and listening to the CBC (Canada tv) commentary with Tracy Austin and nope, not a word about Caro's very limited game. She is playing good now, but Vera is just a monumental head case. Like I said the Russians are just a bunch of overhyped players. <br /><br />The most fundamental part of the game they cannot seem to be able to do it, which is to serve. I just really hate watching them.Overhead Spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838462340734632101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-69791413337691097192010-08-23T12:36:36.486-05:002010-08-23T12:36:36.486-05:00Unfortunately the video is now gone :( -- why are ...Unfortunately the video is now gone :( -- why are they so intent on removing it?<br /><br />Personally I have no problem with Novak's outfit, yellow, falcon and all. Wasn't that keen on Roger's pale pink shirt, not the color but the fussiness of it.<br /><br />I have zero problem Serena is not playing the USO because of her foot injury. If she had other reasons, I believe she would speak them forthrightly, like she does about playing in Indian Wells.Helen Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07008651858978530028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-30116335325629013272010-08-23T12:08:39.066-05:002010-08-23T12:08:39.066-05:00But did the shirt have to be yellow?

I keep checking to see if someone pulled the link. If it disappears it's because that happened.<br /><br />The Rogers Cup final is taking place today at 1:30p Eastern and I'm going to listen/watch to hear how they comment on it. I've held up the winners post so that I can report on what is said for those unable to watch it. Will they pick apart her game or will they act as if she's the best thing since sliced bread?<br /><br />I was married to a Haitian for over 20 years and have cleaned my share of salt cod. Great analogy.Savannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15079111598976360942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-34533839299922706972010-08-22T17:43:25.159-05:002010-08-22T17:43:25.159-05:00Oh Savannah, thank you so much, especially the las...Oh Savannah, thank you so much, especially the last part about Serena and the African American theme. I also get the feeling that people feel that they should consider themselves lucky that they are even playing this sport. It comes across in not what is said but what is not being said. As we say where I am from, backra massa days done. <br /><br />Onwards... the Falcon is the symbol that is at the back of Novak's clothes and are a Serbian symbol inasmuch as the Bald Eagle is a symbol in America and revered. <br /><br />Russian Revolution...that door closed a long time ago. It was overhyped as far as I am concerned. A bunch of head cases with one or 2 striking gold. <br /><br />The video of the ball on the head may have been fake, but guess what, it put tennis and Gillette in the spotlight. If it was to get people talking about both, it accomplished it. <br /><br />The Fed/Rafa gigglefest should be required viewing for all those idiots out there who continue to engage in FeDal wars. These guys have maximum respect for each other. No doubt about it. You get the feeling though that Rafa is the more mature of the two :)<br /><br />Finally, Wozniacki's game is going to be picked apart like when we are cooking salt cod in the Caribbean. You have to pick it apart to take out all those small bones. When you are done you are only left with a small amount. That is what is going to happen to her when the commentators finish with her, especially when she plays the night matches. It will be interesting to see if equal opportunity will prevail this year at the Open. You know, put the women's matches on after the men's. Only person who will make people sit in their seats after a men's match is not playing this year. Just saying...Overhead Spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838462340734632101noreply@blogger.com
