Pahree: Whatever. Life still hates me.

So Djokovic took down Nadal. As much as I was rooting for him to stop Rafa, I felt horrible that it actually happened. Mind you, Rafa probably shoulda lost first match, it’s amazing that he even tumbled into the semifinal like he was there by accident. And it showed: he was outclassed. He was passive. [...]

Beijing: Woodshed Beatings.

My ears are still ringing. What the hell just happened?
 
I’ll tell you what: Marin Cilic just put on the lights-out performance of the year to defeat Rafael Nadal in two sets 6-1 6-3.  
And the craziest thing is – the scoreline is actually a lot closer than the match. At 5-0 in the first set, Rafa [...]

Picspam: Ichi. Ni. San. Shi. SAKE BOMB!

Here I was thinking that just because Del Poop lost early, he wouldn’t be shoved in my face anymore. Clearly I was wrong.
No, it would have been too un-Japanese not to take advantage of a corporate photo-op with token black and white people learning about the local culture.
 

 
I’m all for it, if they provide me [...]

Withdrawal Symptoms? A Fedophile’s guide to surviving the next month.

As you no doubt know by now, Roger Federer has pulled out of both Tokyo and Shanghai to give his body a well-deserved break.
While Federer fans may be comforting themselves with the thought that it’s all for the best, there is an inevitable sense of headlessness, seeing that the next month of tennis has just [...]

Davis Cup Picspam: Go – hibernation. NOW!

Summer is drawing to a close at last in the Northern Hemisphere, and Roger Federer, who has played every match but two in every tournament he’s entered since the Madrid Masters, is just about totally spent.
 

 
[FACT: everything about picture above is beautiful. Including my tinkering with the color saturation.]
 
After his straight sets drubbing of Potato [...]

USO Day 9: Time to “bring it”.

Time flies when you’re having fun. We’re past the two thirds mark of a slam, well and truly into the make-or-break end of things. The round of 16 is always a round of carnage where the dark horses of the tournament rear their shiny heads to make a statement.
This means only one thing: it’s time [...]

Practice makes perfect eye-candies.

Does the US Open really start next week? HELP! Can I have one more week of my frazzle-free world?
With the last slam of the season just around the corner, the top seeds all headed to New York to warm up for two weeks of mayhem. This means only one thing: EYE CANDIES for you all! 
 

 
Caramel [...]

Cincy/Toronto Day 1: Ummm …

I was going to write a Day 1 wrap up, but then I saw these pictures…
… And forgot what I was going to say. 
 

 
Such hair godliness the world has ne’er seen.

Twas a peaceful day over in Cincy with very few upsets. Karlovic took out 13th [...]

Picspam: A fresh batch of convicts to send to Australia.

Do head shots ever look good?
I love Kendrick’s face – he looks positively constipated. 
 

 
Special mention to Gael Monfils though, the guy actually managed to look normal. Overall, a much better batch than the ATP’s previous attempt. 
 

 
At least they don’t look like drug lords in these. 

Montreal Day 1: Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker.

How do you learn to unlove this guy?
 

 
“It slipped away in the third set. I was just a little too nervous. It slipped away. I don’t have a grip on the important moments. I wanted it too much.
“I know what I have to do but it’s difficult. You know you don’t have it — it [...]
