No details as I don't wish to jinx it, but which Spanish TV channel is most likely to show tennis?

I fear football does that to me.

Not very fond of the first round draw because they've drawn my favourites against each other, again.

Mother has her fingers crossed for Soderling, because he's Swedish and she <3's them so much. The bain of my young life that was, as she was an Edberg fan, and I was a Boris girl. We remain in these entrenched ( Read more... )

Ah well, Soderling didn't win. Next time, mon brave, next time. (Lossi is aware where my affections lay in that on, so is highly unlikely to come and chase me down.)

I would have liked a new winner to accompany Francesca Schiavone - well done that woman.

I've only found one match in the men's first round that causes me agonies and that's Cilic v Santoro.

In the women's there's Serena v Ursula Radwanska and Wozniak v Wozniaki. So, all in all, not a bad draw.

The good unexpected, but still.

Whee!
