The Tennis Thread

<p>Tired, saw it a few weeks ago. I’ve “Pat” friends in Oz and we keep in touch. Love all of Pat’s Bonds undie commercials. I’m sad to see him handing off to Nick. :frowning: </p>

<p>For anyone else who may be interested in seeing it. </p>

<p>Great, wanted to make sure you didn’t miss it! </p>

<p>^Thx, appreciated! </p>

<p>Are you going to the tie next weekend? It’s in your neck of the woods, no? </p>

<p>Yes, it is! Rumors are that Lleyton is already here practicing…not sure I can make it, but I hope so! </p>

<p>Fingers crossed for you! Should be a pretty good tie. Say hi to Patty from me. :wink: </p>

<p>As for last night matche - djoker/VB was pretty ugly tennis. Since I wanted both to lose I had no horse in this one. :wink: </p>

<p>Emilybee, do you know some of these tennis players personally?</p>

<p>Dstark, I do, but not the be invited to their homes type of personally (though I know which players liked to pick up fangirls and take them back to their hotel rooms!) But they know me well enough to know my name & chat a bit when we see each other. And some I know better then others. I don’t know anyone on reg tour now, except a few coaches and even an umpire (the always lovely Mohamed Lahyani) though my good friend knows Roger very well (she started following him before anyone even knew who he was) and his mom, who she is quite close with. </p>

<p>Tennis World is small. </p>

<p>“Dstark, I do, but not the be invited to their homes type of personally (though I know which players liked to pick up fangirls and take them back to their hotel rooms!)”</p>

<p>Lol!</p>

<p>I dont know. From reading your posts… It just sounded like you know some of the tennis players… Maybe a little too well. Lol! </p>

<p>I am being very clean here. :)</p>

<p>Ok…among the top players who are worthy of our affections?</p>

<p>I am rooting for Caroline and Novak.
Sounds like… Well it is pretty clear…Novak is not the guy for you. </p>

<p>Is Nadal not worthy?</p>

<p>“I dont know. From reading your posts… It just sounded like you know some of the tennis players… Maybe a little too well. Lol!”</p>

<p>I do, just not in that way! I am old enough to be their much older sister. I get pecks on the cheek instead of invited up to their rooms. </p>

<p>“Is Nadal not worthy?”</p>

<p>It depends on the draw and who he is playing. I have a hierarchy. </p>

<p>Excellent win for Marin! Thomas has been rubbish all year, so not surprising, but I thought it would at least go 4. </p>

<p>I really want Fed to win, but find it so hard to root against Monfil!</p>

<p>I like Gael, too, but now he has to get his **** together?!? </p>

<p>Seriously, emilybee. I can’t even watch, I’m just checking the scores on usopen.org. </p>

<p>Oy. </p>

<p>This Monfils is too good. </p>

<p>It was very dicey there for a while but finally Fed appears to be cruising. </p>

<p>Wow! Federer came through. I like Monsfil, but I want to see Novak and Federer in the finals.</p>

<p>Holy cow! Fed does it! ^:)^ </p>

<p>Whew.</p>

<p>GOATERER. </p>
