Forty Deuce

MaKiri + Aga = Hilarity

Yan and Chuang somehow survived this...

To get this:

Congrats to them because they totally deserved it, bageling MaKiri and Agi in the first set and them taking the super-tiebreak.

These two somehow win doubles matches despite the fact that Aga insists on trying to be the "better doubles player" but kinda sucks.  MaKiri on the other hand is just a quintessential doubles player.  She just has such great court sense.  But then Aga decides that she'd like to run across the net to poach a ball she has no business poaching and leaving the cross court wide open.

But they're still hilarious to watch.  It's weird to think what the hell these two have to talk about but they're actually quite talkative with each other.  And MaKiri smiles quite a bit when she's playing with Agi.  I think they're planning to play together in Cincy.  MaKiri said that since they've been playing together they keep making finals so they'll just keep on going.

The BEST.DAY.EVER. started with a whimper and ended with a bang. 

We can't have it all, people.


Unless your name is Mirka.  In which case, you *can* have it all.

 
Um.  No thank you.


"You want a piece of this?"

It's official.  Tennis needs to have pre-match staredowns, a la boxing.  Because they are both awesomely intense and you never know if you're about to watch a sporting event or porn.  So, win-win!

Shhh!  Do you hear that?  Listen oh so carefully and you can hear the sound of a thousand blades of grass screaming.

Yes.  He did it again.  Oh, and FYI, reporters, "slapping the bull" is nothing even close to resembling "The Robot."  Come on.

Did anyone else think it was really inappropriate for the world feed cameras to be shooting Ana all gyno style?  Show some class, fellas.

Seriously?  What is this, 2002?


Yes, she won.  No I have no idea when she's due.


But what does it all mean....


Yeah, so I'm gonna need some of that in and or around the general vicinity of my JJ area.


Sometimes it's really creepy how much Andy looks like Judy.  Oh, and while I'm at it...

K.SEARS IS WAY HOTTER THAN B.DECKS!!! Suck it!


Yes, Tranny scares me.  But she has one of the most awesome "Win Smiles" in the game.  Pure joy.

 
Open your heart, Andy.  Let us in.

In an unfortunate setback for race relations, Venus and Serena double bageled Jay-Z & Co.  Thanks a lot ladies. 

So...you refuse to sign with a clothing company but an insurance company with a lizard mascot put together a deal that sounded appealing to you?  O...k....

Oh, Dina.  Inapporpriate.  In.a.propriate.  Besides, Momo has no idea what that means.

Pic This: Yeah, you're right. Tennis doesn't belong in the Olympics.

In response to Jon Wertheim and Steve Tignor, and all the other idiots (you know who you are):

 

 

Apparently Zheng Jie is playing for USC.

Tip of the cap to Nike once again, who never fail to treat their athletes with the fashion respect they deserve.

Pics of a few players' Olympic duds.  You can also see Federer's classy get up at Down The Line.

Masha (USA...I Mean RUS)

Zheng Jie (CHN)

Yan Zi (CHN)

Adidas on the other hand looks like they're going to just saddle all of their players in boring black and white:

Does anyone know what the rules are exactly as to what the athletes can wear in Beijing?  I presume that Ana Ivanovic isn't going to get stuck wearing Kappa gear (Serbia's team sponsor) but is it like Fed Cup where the athletes must wear either their country's colors or the country has to be prominently displayed on their uniform?
