ivanovic is gorgeous, but eliminated. Hopefully players like her, dementieva, jankovic and co willg ive us a few good years now and the williams sisters who're just not fun to watch through their style of play retire. please?

turning out to be a very competitive women's finals, which is very good. i am not a fan of those one sided williams' sisters finals in the past.

this is the BEST williams final i've ever watched. serena is struggling but overall they both started out playing at high levels. all those other finals were dominated by emotions and not really entertaining to watch. i hope when venus wins today she actually celebrates because she has always been uncomfortable beating serena.

Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

number 5 for venus. a great accomplishment.
now for federer-nadal tomorrow. can federer make it 6 in a row?

great win by venus and i thought serena sulked too much. as for federer-nadal, this is nadal's best chance at this title so i hope he wins it and gets that much closer to the #1 ranking.

it seemed serena got frustrated when she could put her will in the match. she had control the first couple of games in the match, but venus sustained her, and made it her match.

Yeah big game tomorrow, I think nadal might just do it, his grass play is a lot better than last time. Still federer always plays better against other top players, probably brings out the best in him.

What did they feed nadal when he was growing up? 22 fuck sakes

Probrably lack of compromise when he was growing up - total dedication to his craft.

He's also a natural mesomorph, meaning it'll be unsually easy for him to sustain and gain muscle. He probrably spends more time in the gym concentrating on explosive power than most tennis players, (resistance training) as opposed to cardio-vascular fitness (although he's extremely agile for his size).

He'll eat a bunch too. Serena is just a freak though (and I mean with that with all due respect).

& hence entertaining to watch.

Do you know where I can view the whole match?

not to mention his uncle might've helped, being a legend of spanish football for barcelona & real mallorca, if i had an uncle with access to those kind of coaches, and just his own knowledge, i'd totally use it.
