The Exo I Almost Missed…

…and that everyone else really did miss. Because there weren’t very many people there. For some reason I thought the Glam. Set. Match exo with Ana, Nole, Mel B, and Jay Sean was going to be at night, like around 7PM. I was watching Jo (he practiced forever) and I just happened to overhear someone [...]

Hit for Haiti Part Deux

Friday night there was the charity exo Hit for Haiti at IW. I know everyone is talking about what went on between Andre and Pete but I’m just so over it. So I’m just going to focus on the good. Great Legends playing tennis for a good cause. What if some of them are total [...]

Hit For Haiti: Vid Spam

Some kind soul already downloaded the whole thing on You Tube.  The quality is not that great but better than nothing. For those who missed it or want to see it again, this is for you. There are six parts and it’s quite long. Enjoy.

Hit for Haiti event full to the brim of epic win

Some of the best players in the world played a hastily yet brilliantly organised exho to raise funds for the Haiti relief effort in Melbourne on Sunday. Federer, Rafa, Nole, RAndy, Lleyton, Kimmy, ReRe, Slammin Sammy and even Bernard Tomic hit the courts for the worthy cause. Jim Courier acted as chair umpire. The whole thing brought major [...]

Kooyong: Aboriginal Word For “Heaven”

OK I just made that up. But it *could* be true. Regardless, Kooyong is just full of sexy this week. Day 1 kicked off with all the matches going exactly how I wanted them to. Delpo took out Ljuby 6-3 6-3. Nole got revenge for Halle and Wimbly by beating Tommy 6-2 6-3. I really [...]

Breaking News: Gilles Has Lost His Mind

I am soooo pissed off at Gilles. He’s my favorite player, so I’m allowed to rage at him. His ass should have been in Brisbane or Doha or Sydney or Auckland these last two weeks, but it wasn’t. So after not playing any ATP tournaments, where is Gilles right now? He’s at some stupid podunk [...]

Kooyong Makes Room For More Hotness

Or fug-ness, depending on your preference. Hey, I’m just glad it’s not Fed. Muzz is playing Kooyong on Thursday in a special exhibition match, which is not included in the regular draw. Who he’ll be playing is unknown at the moment. Hey, why not. The more the merrier. I’m feeling very generous towards Andy at [...]

Bitchfest Day 4: Team Yevgeny-Masha Wins

Today was the deciding day of Bitchfest aka the Hong Kong Tennis Classic, and Team Russia won. I guess it became a best 2 of 3 thing after Bepa withdrew. Pfft, whatever. I’m still pissed I didn’t get my Vika-Bepa match. Here are the results: Kafelnikov def. Edberg 7-5 6-4 Masha def. Caro 7-5 6-3 Caro/Edberg [...]

Bitchfest Day 2: Fuck You Rain.

Today was Day 2 of the Hong Kong Tennis Classic, and the lineup was great. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate. The matches were all shortened to one set a piece due to rain. Bummer. Hope it doesn’t happen tomorrow. At least what I wanted to happen happened: Team Europe won. Here are the results: Vika [...]

Bitchfest: Day 1

The Hong Kong Tennis Classic exo is finally underway. Today Team Russia took on Team Asia-Pacific. The singles went pretty much went how I expected them to: Bepa beat Morita: 6-2 6-2 Masha beat Zheng: 6-7 6-4 6-2 Paradorn beat Yevgeny: 6-2 1-6 10-4 (final set’s a superTB) Ugly outfit. Guess who? I kinda like [...]

The Adventures of Vika and Caro

First of all, if anyone who happens to read this doesn’t follow @vika7 and @CaroWozniacki on Twitter, you REALLY need to. I wasn’t even a Caro fan before she started engaging with us fans on Twitter, and I’ve been converted to Caro fandom just like that. A lot of people have been converted to Vika [...]

Bitchfest 2010. I Couldn’t Be More Excited.

OK, so the Hong Kong Tennis Classic starts on Wednesday, and I’m really excited. A bunch of old favorite tennis dudes playing with a bunch of awesome bitches, could anything be better? If you haven’t heard of it, the concept is awesome. There are 4 teams: Russia, Europe, Americas and Asia-Pacific, each consisting of 2 [...]

Rafa and Fed on a Magic Carpet

Rafa and Fed did a small exo today in Doha.  As you can see, they were all smiles. Until they saw what the hell they where going to do. I think the WTF? faces tell the whole story. A flying carpet as a tennis court and no freaking safety net? Really, ATP, do you want [...]

¡Viva España!

Triumph for Spain! In the second of this weekend’s Hopman Cup ties, the Spanish pairing of María José Martinez Sanchez and Tommy Robredo took on American duo of Melanie Oudin and John Isner. First up, MJMS took on Journey’s postergirl, the much-hyped Oudin, and, apart from a nervous game or two late in the second set, pretty much wiped the floor [...]
