What, some American girls made it to the 3rd round? Well that's pretty good for them, I guess.

Just saw this: 'Robredo's father, Angel, used to be a huge fan of the English rock band "The Who" -- so much so that he named his son after the rock-opera album "Tommy," released in 1969.'  |

8 years ago...
The day of the double fault
PARIS (AP) -- There was double trouble for the women at the French Open.
A nervous double fault by Italy's Gloria Pizzichini let top-ranked Martina Hingis off the hook.
And a whole bunch of double faults spelled doom for young Venus Williams.
Hingis acknowledged that if not for Pizzichini's key stumble, things could have turned out a whole lot worse.
Ranked 75th in the world, Pizzichini won the first set and was a point away from 5-3 in the second when she double-faulted.
What if she hadn't, Hingis was asked later?
"I think it wouldn't look too good after I would be down 5-3," the 16-year-old Swiss star said.
As for her reaction to the double-fault: "Thank God."
Pizzichini's double fault changed the momentum of the match, and Hingis went on to win eight of the next nine games.
Hingis was keenly aware of how intimidating it can be to face the top-ranked player across the net.
"It helps sometimes if you're No. 1 in the world," she said.
And her opponent was just as aware of what had happened.
"I was too afraid to win the match," Pizzichini said in a refreshing admission.

"13:54 Not even the fabled Google search can shed any light on the mysterious Sara Zorzato. Meanwhile, Ed Toombs rails at the "bumpkins" citing minor professional and backs up our inital suggestion of Llagostera Vives. He then goes on to mention the gloriously-monikered Gloria "Teeny Weeny" Pizzichini... we'll check it out. " again |

I wonder if Tommy gets paid more if he hits lousy dropshots at important moments.

Has anyone seen Shriek's deodorant commercial? I don't think they should let her talk in those again. |
