I solemnly swear I am watching the Australian Open but I'm all out of people to cheer for on the Men's side (unless I start cheering for B-Tomic and Feli but I have been down the second of these roads before and it didn't end well).

There are more people I like on the women's side, but they're all playing each other.

Just allow me once again to declare my undying love for Elena Baltacha. Because yes, complaining that the umpire was too hard on your opponent is very loveable.

I can't complain about the weekend at all. I've managed to buy a new dress for T's birthday party, a dress in which I look pretty fantastic, if I do say so myself, plus attendant bits and bobs. I also managed to find a copy of Faust Eric to buy (and have ( Read more... )

I am pleased that Liverpool won. I am also pleased that the Liverpool fans gave Torres hell and the players didn't. I'm sorry, but I don't have it in me to feel sorry for someone who is paid >£30,000 a week getting shouted at by people he can't quite hear ( Read more... )

I have no idea what the household is going to do with itself during the women's final at the Australian Open, because we like both of them. I get vision of my Nan cheering for Djokovic even if Murray does get through. She is not a Murray fan and she quite likes Djokovic, well, for today at least ( Read more... )

If I hear one more thing about Wozniaki not having won a slam and being world number one, I may well explode. She has more points that her opponents, hence she is the world number one. If certain people (Venus, I mean you) can't, for perfectly good reasons, be bothered with smaller opens, then that's going to happen. It is a problem with the ( Read more... )

Who thought Nalbandian v Hewitt was a good first round match :(

Other than that, I'm hoping for Elena Baltacha to have a good run, and wishing Safina v Clijsters wasn't a first round match, and crossing my fingers for Kleybanova to do well. She is capable of serve-volleying, serving with a minimum of errors and has a good all-around game.

I have been quiet because I've mostly been watching the snooker. Which leads on to tennis. And kindoftrouble was right about the Eurosport commentators being horrible. But not quite as horrible as Wozniaki's outfit yesterday. The only excuse for it would be if she were four months pregnant ( Read more... )
