ANITAAAAAAAA COME BACK TO AUSSSSSSS

The tennis season is starting to firing up, and I don't have Anita to talk about random players and random Forty Deuce stuff that we always talk about, especially in Science. SHe's not even IN the country.

Anyway, she'd be happy to know that Rafa beat Roger at the Abu Dhabi finals (I think that's how you spell it?). Then they did this:

Pretty cool eh? This isn't the best shot but Rafa and Roger where promoting teh Qatar Open, on water. No wonder Qatar won the 2022 Fifa bid. THEY'RE SUPER MEGA FREAKING RICH. If I ever meet a person from Qatar (a Qatarian?), all I'll ever see in them is dollar signs zinging in their eyeballs and gold running right through their veins.

In the meantime, the Brisbane International got off to a pretty good start. Sam won her 1st round match yesterday against a Czech qualifier Lucie Hradecka 7-6(1) 6-1. The start was really shaky. Actually, I managed to watch the first bit before my mum started chastising me for watching television (ARGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!) She was down 2-0 in the first set. It rained and after the delay, the tables turned and Sam was back on her game and just did her thing in the 2nd set.

Some things went a little unexplained during the match though:

Sam... pink? WHAT THE HECK???!!!! Forty Deuce made her own judgement on other aspects: "Let's talk about the thing that's on all our minds: WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO, LACOSTE??? Sleeves??? A logoless cap that looks like it was bought at a truck stop in Santa Cruz??? SLEEVES??? I mean, yay to separates, but SLEEVES???!!!???!!??!."

I was skimming thorugh the Aus Open site to see if they had anything interesting articles and they did. It was about predictions for 2011. Here's the gold:

Australian Open: Djokovic, Clijsters
Roland Garros: Nadal, Stosur
Wimbledon: Nadal, Serena
US Open: Federer, Sharapov

Me likey ;)

Sam's 2nd round match against fellow compatriot Jarmila Groth is on tonight. The bad news is that Channel 7 has ditched covering it in favour of Scrubs or something or rather. ==' Well, I'll be hooked up to my laptop getting square-eyed and all following the little blip of the digits on the live scoring.

wimby update

The's women's draw here at the QF stage is really unexpected. It goes down likes this:

- Serena Williams vs. Li Na <---that was expected


- Petra Kvitova vs. Kaia Kanepi <---- this was not expected but i wanted kaia to go far to make me feel better about Sam's first round loss to her

- Kim Clijsters vs. Vera Zvonareva <--- should be interesting because both are on a roll (kim beat justine just like i predicted XD)


- Tsvetana Pironkova vs. Venus Williams <--- seriously hoping that someone can beat Venus


On the other hand, the men's draw is much more understandable apart from the one-off 'WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFFFFFF????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" <-- very explicit language on my part. Anyhow, this is how it's going to go down:


- Roger Federer vs. Tomas Berdych <--- Federer to win I think


- Novak Djokovic vs. Yen Hsun-Lu <--- insert "WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!" This should've been Hewitt vs. Roddick but then comes along Hewitt's stupidity and this Taipei dude who knocked RODDICK out o.0, news indeed my friends. The World No. 92 had little reason not to act the way he did:





- Jo-Wilfred Tsonga vs. Andy Murray <--- something for the British press to maul over


- Robin Soderling vs. Rafael Nadal <--- for Anita's sake, Rafa to win :)

fed express is completely suicidial for its passengers e.g- Roger Federer

he just lost second set. i think i might actually go shoot roger federer if he loses this game. for GOD SAKE!!:

- we are not gonna farewell a reigning champion on day one
- you're the freaking hot fave and you're losing to some unknown dude
- get those break points!!!!
- you better win or i swear Forty Deuce and MindTheRacket (Brodie) are going to go psychotic, Twitter will crash because you lost and everyone will be like OHMYGOD
- I do not want to read depressing newspaper articles about how you're going to retire
- I've never been your fan but you seriously have to win or its jsut goingn to be a damn disgrace

Fed Express... crash-crash-innnnnngggggggggggg

OHMYGAWD. Federer just lost his first set at Wimby against some dude whose last name is Falla. He is down in the 2nd set 4-3. bad bad news for Fed fans. D=

I guess this just proves how unpredictable tennis can be. If Federer actually LOSES this game, this whole tourney has been turned on its hand and dunked in a seriously deep pit of poop. yummy....

There was something about this being Fed's 4th time dropping a first set in a Wimby game and each past time, he's lost the game.
