Sheer genius from Roger. He doesn't play like this as often anymore - the foot speed, the lightning speed at which he turns defence into attack, the laser-sharp forehand and backhand down the line ( Read more... )

Even though this was kind of expected, even though I woke up to a one-set deficit, even though I've watched countless matches when he just faded in the decisive set for no apparent reason (especially after winning the second, thus momentum on his side and all, but apparently not for the GOAT), watching Roger Federer lose will never cease to suck.I ( Read more... )

Dodig Pulls Off Improbable Victory Over Nadal

Vinci Stuns Wozniacki, Kvitova & Li AdvanceIf only Nikolay Davydenko had succeeded in getting the job done against Novak Djokovic; he was up 4-1, 30-0 in the first set, then promptly went on to lose it 7-5, despite serving for the set at 5-4. I was quite amazed that Nole actually won that first set; he ( Read more... )

1. Roger Federer...lost in the finals of the Rogers' Cup to Andy Murray. The match was at 1.30 a.m. Singapore time and I had work so I didn't watch it. I did, however, wake up with no help at all from my alarm clock at 3 in the morning because I suddenly remembered, "Oh my god, Roger's playing the final now ( Read more... )

Roger was up against Tomas Berdych this morning Singapore time in the quarter-finals of the Toronto Masters. The last time they played, Berdych booted Roger out of Wimbledon in the quarter-final stage. I can't remember if I was devastated, but I was definitely sad. I think I was also a little bit relieved that I was put out of my misery.

Since then ( Read more... )

Fucking Twitter not letting me update, so this is what I wanna say:
And: WHEN DID ANDY MURRAY START GRUNTING WHEN HE SERVES. AND YESSSSSS TSONGA BROKE BACK. JWT FOR THE WIN!

Yup. Thought Tsonga was gone but he BROKE BACK. LOL at how he ate up Murray's second serve for lunch and dinner. Just like how Andy did likewise at Wimbledon.

YESSSS.

Montreal Masters
Roger apparently lost. I say 'apparently' because I slept the match away, and the first thing I heard in the morning was my mom telling me, "Do you know the score?"

(I must say I don't understand the logic in her trying to have a conversation with me when she comes into my room in the morning to turn off the air-con or whatever, in a ( Read more... )

My laptop is seriously driving me crazy. It's slowed down significantly, such that everytime my Firefox takes 5 seconds longer than usual to open (and I know this because I know how fast it used to open), I'd inevitably start to get irritated. If I have MSN on, and the game in the previous entry on, then my browser has an 80% chance of crashing.

First, I need to say this: I am sooooo addicted to this game, it's starting to get ridiculous. I derive immense pleasure from watching my prestige grow and my server ranking go up. And a bunch of other geeky things which I'm not going to talk about 'cause it's just too sad. The bottom line is, I'm borderline-obsessed with the game, and my beginner' ( Read more... )
