The Tennis Thread

<p>Fell asleep sometime during 3rd set of men’s match last night, so just finished watching. Well done, Kei! Am very happy I don’t have to watch that hair and stupid sleeve anymore. </p>

<p>For anyone who missed Vika “singing” here is video. Truly cringe worthy. </p>

<p><a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube;

<p>and wee Serb’s reaction. </p>

<p><a href=“Vine”>Vine;

<p>Ask your husband? LOL! Dstark, all husbands are programmed for such an occasion. </p>

<p>Wife: “This Bouchard girl is hot, don’t you think?”
husband" “Who? Oh her? I hadn’t noticed. Not my type dear!” </p>

<p>Ana is very pretty. My wife is Serbian and we own an apartment in the same building. I have not seen her yet, but we are neighbors! </p>

<p>Maria is also very pretty. </p>

<p>For most men, Ana and Maria (6’1" and 6’2" respectively) are too tall though! ;)</p>

<p>Other pretty tennis players include Daniela Hantuchova and Maria Kirilenko. </p>

<p>I don’t see the ladies on this forum talking about their tennis crushes. Emily’s is obviously Nole! ;)</p>

<p>Alexandre… :)</p>

<p>My next door neighbor likes Nadal. He is always playing with his rear end. :)</p>

<p>My wife likes soccer players…and she likes me too. :)</p>

<p>Ana…I told my wife that I root for the prettier player. If I am going to watch… ;)</p>

<p>Ha Ha,Ha Alexander. He will never, ever be on my list! </p>

<p>No one playing now but Dimi may have potential. And I need to see Sousa a few more times in person to decide if he is worthy. </p>

<p>My list is Pat Rafter (always and forever #1) Carlos Moya, Marat, Tommy Haas, JCF, Fat Dave (I am not sure why but I just am,) Mariano Zabaletta (because he reminded me of Pig Pen in Charlie Brown comics and he was very sweet off court,) Hernan Gumy, Franco Davin, Mariano Puerto, and lovely Stefan & Mats. And my first tennis crush, Aaron Kricksein. </p>

<p>Yes, Ana is very, very, very tall. I agree about Daniella and Kirilenko. All prettier than Bouchard, imo. </p>

<p>My crush would definitely be Roger. I think he is beautiful. </p>

<p>The night matches are only on the tennis channel?</p>

<p>tx5, But not when Roger takes his shirt off. He is gorilla like! </p>

<p>dstark, no. That was just over the weekend. Matches are all on ESPN until Friday when they switch back to CBS. </p>

<p>Great! Thanks.</p>

<p>^ YW. </p>

<p>How on earth did Dimi muck up that sitter?!? Oy. </p>

<p>Very entertaining match, though. </p>

<p>Emily, my sister’s first crush was Aaron Krickstein. Being Lebanese, that caused quite the scandal in our house! Hehe! Then again, she always was the rebel. </p>

<p>Speaking of Dimitrov, he is not doing too well against Monfils. </p>

<p>I like your sister. She has good taste! Aaron was darling when he was young. I think I am the only person who looks forward to rain delays so CBS will rebroadcast his match against Connors. Only thing is I always hope for a different ending! </p>

<p>Very surprised Gael won in 3! He has been very efficient this slam. Will give Roger a battle (if Roger wins tonight.) </p>

<p>Pulling for Marin is other match. Simon is so boring. </p>

<p>Anybody born in Ann Arbor is good in my book! :wink: He made it to the SF of the US in the late 80s, but Becker beat him soundly in 3 sets before going on to beat my favorite player at the time, Ivan Lendl. </p>

<p>He had lots of good wins. Great 5 set record, too. Semi’s at AusOpen, too. </p>

<p>I saw Aaron beat Agassi in 1st round of Open in 91, after Andre had made the final the year before. I was a very happy camper that day. </p>

<p>Looks like Marin/Simon will be going 5. </p>

<p>Tennis crush - Pete or Todd Martin. I like my players clean cut.</p>

<p>2VU, We would never be at the same matches. :wink: </p>

<p>Though, Todd is a very nice guy. </p>

<p>Nice win for Marin. Was quite the battle. </p>

<p>Fed didn’t look as good to me last night as when he played 1st random Spanish player (despite horrid first set.) I chalk that up to the wind making things a bit tricky. </p>

<p>Very happy for Sunshine! Best I have ever seen her play and she handled the wind extremely well. Still hard to tell how good she really was since Sara was so dreadful. </p>

<p>Best looking tennis players-Fernando Verdasco and Jeremy Chardy.</p>

<p>emilybee, we are getting a great Bonds underwear ad here in Oz - Pat Rafter “coaching” Nick K. about how to do his first Bonds photo shoot. It’s so funny - Pat says, “Wear it like you mean it, mate” and Nick says “What does that even mean?” Found it on Youtube - search for “Nick Kyrgios for Bonds Microfibre Guyfront Trunks”. If you like Pat, you’ll enjoy it! Watching Wawrinka/Nishikori - well, it’s early here, started watching the 5th set. </p>
