Guys seriously, just make Nole and Serena compete with each other for the title.

Day Four at the Rog

Fanatic Omes:

Ok I'm just going to remain calm and breathe.

It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis. It's only tennis.

Day Three at the Rog

Fanatic Omes:

Well Murray did certainly momentarily forget how to play tennis, didn't he? (I’m calling him “Murray” 'cause I’m mad). He did say he wanted to pace himself before the US Open but I think, I THINK, he’s going to want to re-think that strategy. (Maybe inhale a two-foot baguette?) I guess the only solace we can take is that for the last two years he’d worked really hard for the Toronto and Cincy and then lost out at the USO so...ohhhhh, I don’t know.
Seriously though I’m sure he’ll be fine - we’ll just “Butterfly Effect” that shiz along with the 2011 Wimbledon final. 

And speaking of Rafa Nadal, he begins his campaign today. Nerviose.

Other things I want to say:

Kim has sustained yet another injury. I can't...

Canadian wildcard, Pospisil, or Popsicle as I'm sure we'll all be calling him (ranked 155), upset Chela in his first round match. He is adorbz. He will now go on to play... Federer. Pahahahaha.

Tennis Monsoon

 

Fanatic Omes:

Well shave my legs and call me grandpa! It’s Masters 1000 time again! With the top 20 guys and dolls in action at the Roger's Cup, well dun’t it just feel a lil’ like a Slam? I’m so excited for a sleep-deprived, concept-of-reality-deprived, social-life-deprived-and-subsequently-friendless month. 

It’s the taste of Hard Court, baby, and it tastes like happy.
