I am genuinely going to miss Marat Safin on the ATP tour.

( Sad face )

Before I get to that...Jose Acasuso is leading Federer, up 5-2 in the third and serving for the set. VAMOS CHUCHO ( Read more... )

Oh breaker of hearts, that is Marat Safin. Today he bowed down to Nicolas Lapentti in three sets in the dreaded second round of the Monte Carlo masters. It seems to be Marat's curse to fall in the second round of pretty much any tournament ( Read more... )

Because it's Marat Safin vs. Roger this morning, I had to get up early for this match. Woke up about an hour ago only to find the women's match on Rod Laver arena still going on. BLAH. But I did get to watch Jelena Dokic get a comeback win over Caroline Wozniaki. And then I got to see some brain scratching tennis over with Ivanovic and Alisa ( Read more... )

How about tomorrow? I'm super excited for the US Open. This year has just been a fun tennis season. I remember last year I wasn't as excited. Mainly because I didn't have a TV so you see how that works. But it's not just that. This year I've been focusing on every single tournament, focusing on several players, really helping my tennis fandom. It ( Read more... )

Roger Federer just lost to a rolling Gilles Simon in the first round of the Canadian Masters.

WTF?!

OK I shouldn't say that. I knew Simon would be a tough opponent. The dude won the title at Indianapolis over the weekend. And a part of me did want Simon to win (I was much endeared to him on Sunday watching the Indy championship). And major props to ( Read more... )

Quick recap:

It's a Williams sisters final. It will be played Saturday.
Men's semifinals: Federer vs. Safin (OMG OMG OMG) and Rafa vs. Rainer Scheuttler (say what now?)

I got kicked out of the suicide pool after Marin Cilic lost to Arnaud Clement (who lost in five ridiculous sets to Scheuttler today. It was deemed the battle of the old guys, when ( Read more... )

Not much to report from yesterday's matches except that Dinara Safina lost and I was sad :( Rafa won...a meh match. The best IMO was Youzhny beating Stepanek in what should have been four sets. But NO it has to go to five. I'm just glad the Youzh pulled it out in the end. And then the other tall handsome Croat Marin Cilic beat Paul-Henri Mathieu ( ( Read more... )

I have done nothing today (apart from cleaning the bathroom) but watch tennis. From the moment I woke up till now. WHAT a day.

It started out kind of crappy. It looked like it would rain here and it was raining at Wimbledon. Oh UGH. My off day and I see that the tarps are covering the courts at Wimbledon. So uncool. Thankfully the covers were ( Read more... )

Marat, oh beautiful, wonderful, insane Marat! You have made my day by defeating world No. 3 Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the second round of Wimbledon.

Now if you win the whole thing, you will make my year.
