WTFinale: Long time coming.

 
Is there anyone out there who isn’t happy for Nikolay Davydenko? It’s been such a long time coming, but good things happen to those persist, and it’s been such a well-deserved win for Davo. 
For the casual tennis followers, Davo’s probably about as fascinating as a pencil sharpener. But give it time and the little Russian [...]

WTF: WUH-THU-FUH?

In the words of Mr Gigglefits, without him, Rafa, Sod – hell, without even Muzz or Djoko, my interest in the WTF final just went “nerrrrrrgh” [motions downwards].
 

 
It was nuclear warfare in the O2 arena today, as Mr Bodily-Waste and Mr Dimples traded blistering groundstokes for two hours. Pee had break chances in the first set, but [...]

WTF: To Rafanatics.

Rafanatics, feeling a little blue? Avoiding tennis websites like a plague? Living in a see-saw state of angst and zen? Feeling unwarranted hate for non-Big 4 players like Davydenko and Soderling?
You have slumpitivis! 
Trust me, I’ve been there. 7 months ago, Roger was struggling through matches, posting a succession of losses against the top 4 and crying [...]

WTF: Yo’ Monkey ain’t funky.

 
Federer fans, let’s raise a fund to be used for giving Bobby Sod a lifetime’s supply of jelly beans, as the Dimpled Swede took down Rafa today, 6-4 6-4. 
Good news for Rafa fans? He’s playing much better than he was back in Paris (Bercy), and it was probably one of the better matches from his [...]

WTF: The Frazzle Post.

Congratulations to Nikolay Davydenko on the biggest win of his career. It’s been a long time coming.

WTF: That’s it, I’m confiscating all hair products boys.

Rafa, WHYYYYYYYYY?! You had your hair perfectly done a few months ago, and now even Roger’s trying to avoid staring at it.
Hair gel, hand over, NOW! 
 

 
You too Nando. I could make fried rice with all that grease in your hair. 
 

 
Having gone to an all-girls high school next to an all-boys high school where all the [...]

WTF?!!!!

 
Sorry for the impromptu MIA. And I’m not “back” yet. I have one last trust law exam tomorrow before I’m free as a bird til March next year. Yeah suckers, summer lovin’ had me a blast…
ANYWAY… just sneaked in to give you the WTF draws to frazzle over. And WTF is just about the way you’d [...]

The Week-in-Between: Oh Puny Arms, how I’ve missed ye!

 
Rust? What rust? 28 winners to 14 unforced errors, thank you very much. 12 aces to 1 double? Yes please.
It was a lot cleaner a performance than I was expecting after a 6 week break. With an easy 63 64 win, Roger cruised past his former doubles partner, Olivier Rochus, with whom he won the [...]

Quotable Quotes: Had we but world enough, and time.

Was your 2000 U.S. Open victory over Pete Sampras a curse as much as a blessing?
MS: It was unexpected for me in the first place, because I didn’t think that I would get close to the finals, and to go to the finals and beat Sampras on his home ground—I don’t think so.
And then I [...]

Picspam: GOAT WAG.

It takes some serious strength to lift up Nikolay Davydenko by his head. Irina shows us how its done.
 

 
Gotta love it when a married couple goes all ‘puppy love’ on us. *Dies of cute*
