Whyyyyyyyy are they playing one of the men's SF today? Seems dumb to me.
Good luck to TEAM TAIPEI!!
What a crappy women's singles event. Goodness, none of the four are appealing winners to me. I guess I'd be most happy with Vaidisova (yeesh).

And by "most happy" I of course mean "least disgusted."

They've played a men's SF on Thursday night for as long as I can recall.
And I agree that I don't like it. Especially since the other SF is Friday afternoon. So, they get the disadvantage of less rest, and hotter conditions.
And yeah, it's bad when the SF I like most is Nikki. I used to really hate her. Now, I'm more apathetic about her because I can respect how good her serve is.
Even worse, Maria is my 2nd favorite left.

Yeeeeeeep, if you had told me a week ago that I'd be rooting for a Sharapova-Vaidisova final, I'd have laughed in your face, then spit in your soup and pooped on your cat.

Oooh, hot Meanwhile, if anyone thinks that I'm against watching beautiful girls play tennis, they're stupid. And by "they're" I mean "ballbuster is." Not that that's anything anyone doesn't already know. I loved Kournikova. LOVED her! The problem is that Maria has an ugly game and is a cheating bitch. Nicole, not so much on the cheating bitch (yet), but her game also sucks. And while I'm on the subject, Maria has horrible acne, no tits, and chicken lips. And Nicole is a contender for the Gabriela Sabatini "Which Lunch Meat Did They Use Her Discarded Cock to Make" Memorial Award (because she's DEAD!). So if you think that's a beautiful match...I think one's sexuality is a bit interesting. And by "a bit interesting," I mean "very very gay." This was directed at Ballbuster's last post, which I must have imagined, because just look at that last post! Hot. And I accept!

Maria and Nikki aren't hot. Their only positive attributes are they're tall and blonde.
Unless Maria has tons of makeup professionally put on her, her face is gross. And her shoulders are so disproportionate to the rest of her body. Nikki is kinda cute, but has a horse face.
Also, I think it's silly to watch tennis just because you think players are sexy. Mostly because they're not trying to be sexy. They're sweaty, icky and smell like ass. If you want sexy, drool over Maria in her lame model shoots, or whatever.

"As for those cases where a live match has started and is continuing when we come on the air, we have decided to present the entire match from the start because the entire match has been compelling," an ESPN spokesman told Tennis Week today.
I've never heard such crap! Except from ESPN in previous years. And from NBC during Wimbledon ...

Lolz. Here's a thought, ESPN. You have 10 channels. Use one of them to show live matches. Then, replay whatever you want on ESPN2. There's no reason why ESPN can't show every QF. They don't even try.

I have live coverage with sound. But on the other hand its 2.20am, its freezing and I have a headache. Do I care about Nicole Vaidisova that much?

I can't decide whether to watch the tennis tonight or stay with this gorgeous production of Mozart's Magic Flute from the Metropolitan Opera, on PBS. After all, I don't want either player to win, so ...

Nicole, not so much on the cheating bitch (yet), but her game also sucks. I think she's fun to watch. Very unpredictable. And if she wins today, I'll drive to Fátima to thank the Blessed Virgin Mary for the miracle.

I'm going to miss the finals anyway, because I'm away again. I don't get to see much live tennis, and now I've got the chance, I'm going to bed.

Okay, I will watch the Magic Flute, with tennis on in the corner of the tv on Picture-in-Picture. Then if Nicole starts killing, I can switch. If it's not during a great aria or anything.

Ewwwww, I thought Maria vs Kimmie is first on. I stayed up until 3:30 AM to watch Serena and Nikki???! Hopefully it will be 6-1 6-1. Come on Vaid, suck just like you did last year against Mauresmo.

They know that in a few years, they won't even be covering tennis. They've been selling off their rights to tournaments left and right over the past year. I hope TNT gets Wimbledon back.
