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.

Stosur Update Stanford


After receiving a first-round bye into the Bank of the West Classic (because she's the #1 seed), she won her second round against American McHaley 6-1 7-5 and just won her quarter-finals against Yanina Wickmayer 7-5 3-6 6-3. WOOT! Now she's off to verse Aza who beat the defending champion Marion Bartoli. Her chances? I have no idea. Aza creeps me out with her vocal cords and Sam just looks like a blank page. When she's on court, you have absolutely no idea what is ticking through her mind.

The other semi will be Aggy vs. Sharapova or Elena (#2 seed). My odds are on Sharapova because Elena is just recovering from her injury and Sharapova is always on the kill, with her vocal chords too.

Forty Deuce makes me laugh, loud, very loud. Well, let's just read shall we?

the usual blabber for the day...

- walked into school today and gave Anita a =( face because Sam lost and found out Rafa won in STRAIGHT sets (6-4 6-2 6-4). Is it just me or did Rafa win every game at Roland Garros this year in STRAIGHT sets?
- revealed my addiction to Fourty Deuce to Anita which consequentially resulted in my usual non-work Sunday which has always started with me waking up at 10 and saying "I should have woken up at 8." and then go back to sleep and wake up again and get on my laptop and read the latest on the tennis scene SIGH
- realised I have heaps of Science hw i seriously need to catch up on (future employer, i am actually very responsible and mature and will always have my work up to date in the real world when i'm an adult so therefore you should EMPLOY me)- awesome message to the future
- still can't figure out what EXACTly the essay topic is for english and really needs to KNOW so anyone who reads this, please comment to tell me what the topic is and that would be much appreciated
- started downloading Forty Deuce podcasts which I listening to while cruising the world wide web which is a start since I normally can't concentrate when someone is talking to me at the same time
- watched Today Tonight section on family who had all technology stripped of them for 6 months and survived. wondered that maybe i could actually do that apart from the fact that i would feel retareded in Science without my laptop open and i would have to actually USE my brain and wouldn't be able to follow samantha stosur
- should REALLY be doing my english hw but you know me well...
- has debating tomorrow against Kincoppal! i hope we win but I don't want to get my hopes up just incase we don't which would be sad cos I really do love debating and winning... of course, but a loss would be kinda ok with me as long as we didn't collapse against Kincoppal
- has developed new tennis terminology over last few days, the cause being the constant reading of Forty Deuce's website. I don't think I'll be referring to Jelena Jankovic as 'Jelena Jankovic' for a long time, but rather JJ. Caroline Wozniacki - Caro the list goes on... those examples were bad.
- forgot to buy a scarf AGAIN which is annoying cos I love scarves and I need one for school because when I am cold, I do this thing where I am constanlty shaking and shivering in my seat and my mum will be scared its some sort of omen that the Devil has taken control of me
- had interesting pdhpe lesson... kekeke
- had fun in maths doing ENGLISH as a matter of fact

byeEEEEEEEEEEEE

P.S - I hope I don't start spelling 'fourty' as 'forty' because of reading Forty Deuce blogs =S
