Larceny Alert.

Thief! Who stole Roger Federer’s forehand? It was YOU Juan Monaco. Oh yeth … feel the death glares of my Federeralist jury. We hereby find you guilty as charged, now give it back to Roger! 
 
Seriously though, I tuned in during the third set of Murray v Monaco, and floved every minute of Juan’s fearless play. [...]

Me, Myself and Adidas

Check out Ana Ivanovic’s new ad campaign with Adidas. So glad to see her looking naturally fab again, anyone remember those horrible Rolex ads where she looked drunk and try-hard wanton? This sounds cliche but just be yourself Ana, you look amazing the way you are.

How do you solve a problem like Maria?

Where’s my panic button? I had it here somewhere… *fumbling through the mess on my desk* 
 

 
Woke up this morning to the news that Maria Sharapova has once again pulled out of both Rome and Madrid. Guess she saw the weather and the WTA field in Rome and decided she’s not going to missing out on [...]

Out of the Nile.

Reading Federer’s presscons always seems to give me the warm-fuzzies. Not because I worship the guy as my tennis god, the man just has this eloquence and self-assurance to him. Even if you’ve convinced yourself that he’s one messed-up airhead, after reading one of his presscons, or watching a video of the man sitting back in [...]

“Oh God, I cannot move.”

No, not really. It’s just JJ being … well … JJ.
 
 “This morning, when I woke up I felt, oh God I cannot move, but it’s a special occasion, I am playing for my country and we are in a position where for the first time in the history of Fed Cup, we are able to [...]

Sex sells seashells by the seashore.

So it’s official – Ana Ivanovic is the sexiest woman in tennis, even sexier than Maria Sharapova in fact. According to FHM’s 100 Sexist Women in the World 2009 list, Ivanovic came in at #11 this year, trumping Maria’s #45 by a mile.
 
They say that if you’ve got it, flaunt it, and true to this [...]

Out of Hibernation/Fed Cup rant.

Yes, I am out of hibernation, and feelin’ good, albeit with a blocked nose and a sore throat. But hey, on the plus side, it gives me a sexy phone voice! 
 
Is it just me or is it almost impossible to find coverage of the Fed Cup these days? Despite all its talk about supporting women’s [...]

(Early) Weekend Musings

A friend of mine once told me jokingly that if she doesn’t see my blog updated for 3 or 4 days, she starts to worry about my personal safety and well-being. And when you think about it, there is some bizarre, twisted logic to this: I haven’t updated my blog since Monday this week, and [...]

Life in a musical

Don’t deny it. We’ve all had these urges, especially on public transport, to just burst out at the top of our lungs with a chorus of “the hills are aliiiiive…” Well these cool cats from Antwerp Belgium actually did it. If you haven’t seen this, watch and heart the life they live over in the land [...]

Surprise!

Rafael Nadal won Monte Carlo! How … unexpected!!
 
Right. Did my excessive use of exclamation marks give away my phoney sarcasm?
 
But here’s the real surprise, Sabine Lisicki beat Caroline Wozniacki to become the lowest ranked player to win Charleston. I must say, that girl’s got some serve. High in the number of double faults, but even higher [...]
