Fashion: Pt 2, McFederer

 
Cont’d: The Polo Era Misses
US Open 08, night: FedEx goes missing, UPS delivery person turns up 
“Noooo Rajaaah, you is making Anna Wintour cryingggg…vot is zis elephant skin?”
I fully credit Federer for dumping the damn thing after just one match in it. He either received some timely advice from those fashionistas he hangs out with, or [...]

Fashion: Pt 1, McFederer

It’s that time of the year again when Tennis Nation goes into hibernation, and the players go to the Maldives. So I think time is right for me to dedicate some of my blogging energy towards combining the two passions of my life – tennis and fashion – into what I call “Ftennis” (Silent “F”), [...]

Where is that Siberian Siren??

After reaching No 1 this year, winning her third slam without losing a set at the Australian, plus two other titles – Doha and Amelia Islands, the Sharapower ended the year somewhat disappointingly as the No 9 player in the world, plagued by a shoulder injury that has kept her out since Montreal.
 
Looking on the [...]

The Old Boys’ Club: Playing Dress-Ups

Yup, it’s that time of the year again when that Old Boys’ Club we call “APEC” travels off to some exotic location and get dressed up in local national costumes. Photo-op alert!
 
This year we get ponchos, in an attempt to make the rich and powerful look homeless, a completely mundane photo saved by the Peruvian [...]

2008 Wrap Up: The McFederer Post

How odd for me that after saving the last tennis post of the year for McFederer, I’m completely out of things to say. I mean how do you summarise the Fed’s year?

He failed to make the finals at the Australian Open, losing to Djoker in straight sets.
He lost second round in Dubai to Andy Murray… [...]

2008 Year-End Wrap Up: ATP Pt 2, the Players

Some final thoughts on the players this year, by players, I mean players other than Roger Federer, who, as the header of this blog, deserves his own damn post.  :D
 
Player of the Year
Who else but Rafael Nadal. To say that Rafa has been the most dominant player this year is to state the obvious – [...]

2008 Year-End Wrap Up: ATP Pt 1, the Matches

Just goes to show how much more emotionally invested in the ATP I am compared to the WTA. What a year it’s been, and I’ve decided to separate it into different posts. So here’s the first one, matches of the year. And a little disclaimer before I start – neutrality has no place on blogs, [...]

What’s Hot and What’s Not in Shanghai

I’m sick, and it’s Sunday here in Aus, and being sick on a Sunday means that you get to stay in bed all day with English Breakfast tea and your beloved Macbook. Hoorah! Still thinking about the Masters Cup and what a farce it turned out to be, at least for me anyway. So here’s [...]

GO Davo!

Ever wonder why Davydenko isn’t so popular in Australia? It’s the name. A little word of advice to Koyla – drop the “ydenko” and tell the Aussies to call you “Davo”, we’ll loveya. 
 
But seriously now Murray, sif kick Federer out and then lose to Davo. And Giles-Beautiful-Eyes-Simon, *almost*, you make all of us underdogs proud. 
 
Djoker [...]

Photostory: McBama elected McPresident of McAmerica? McFark!

A friend of mine conned me into betting $50 against McBama, DARN IT! You know if you said “gullible” slowly enough, it sounds like “teapot”?
 

 
Change! Change is good. We need a change so drastic that it takes us back to the 60s. Those were good times, I wasn’t alive for one…
