W&SFG Masters Highlights (2/2)

[e_goddess]

More highlights from this year's trip.  I won't have photos before this weekend, so I'll upload and post some videos in the next few days to kill the time.

Also, I found myself randomly inspired to write another Torchwood fic.  In the middle of the tennis season, fresh back from Ohio, and I'm thinking about Torchwood.  (It may be because I just saw

One theory: Arnaud has decided to start marking what he considers nearly-competent ball kids. “Bring me the ones with the pale noses!” he demands.

lmfao.

BEST tournament summery thingie EVER.

Aw, thanks. They made it pretty easy on us this year. It really was an awesome year, even if we didn't get the results we wanted.

Oh man, the scoreboards made me laugh so much. Some of them had tiebreak scores such as 71-42 but the best one I saw was at the Moya-Andreev match.

I tried to look at your Carlos photo, but it wouldn't work. *pouts*

Can't beleive I missed that scoreboard during Carlos/Igor. (I was probably distracted by the pretty.) I also recall one, can't remember what match we were watching, that showed Harkleroad's stats at the beginning. Um...what?

As for Nenad, it was at Court 9, so that was very likely us! (I was the one who DIDN'T fall down. Go me!)

Ha! I finally got the photo to open, and that's awesome. I can't beleive we didn't take a photo of it. The best part was that it wasn't made by some teenager, but by a grown woman. A grown woman with good taste. The day before, the same woman had a sign that said something like "Go Dah-veed Ferrer!" Did you happen to see that one? It was a hoot, because my friend and I are always yelling out "Dah-veed!" every time we hear him introduced as "Day-vid".

Her - Oh, well. (thinks a moment) Well, I think that’s just super, that you’ve embraced someone who’s…
Me - (resists the urge to say, “What? Brown?”)
Her - …Not from where you’re from.

OMFG, the stupid. It hurts. (You guys were too nice, I don't think I would have resisted taking the snark up several notches)

Most Valuable Player:
Nico, Nico, Nico. After years of only getting to see him in the qualifiers or at practice, Nico Lapentti returned to the main draw with a vengeance. We did not miss a single one of his matches, and probably saw most of his practices as well. He entertained up with his bobbing, his chocolaty goodness, and his choice of practice partners. He was beautiful, charming, and absolutely ferocious on the court. We went into this year wondering if we’d ever get to see him winning, and if we never do again, at least he went out with a bang.

*le part wistful, part happy sigh* I don't want him to retire! I can't take another one leaving me, I can't!

We try not to be rude, and I've gotten much better at dealing with the stupid, but sometimes I just sit silently and let me friend deal with these people. She talks to the idiots, I talk to the men. It works out.

Oh, Nico. He's been such a pleasant fixture that I don't know what we'll do when he's gone. Until then, I have chosen to live in happy denial.
