Hi Freudo. No I'm not, but the BWPC will continue with the occasional helpimg hand from my forummates.

[freudo]

awww about the slamorama...okay..i'll help at our PC when I can Serena is out of the tie vs India, sick, not injured. Megann S to replace her for that leg of the journey...also Monfils is injured and Clement takes his place...

[Pamela Shriver]

Silliams has pulled out of her first match. But she wants us to rest assured that she'll show up for the next two.

[sasha]

Ah, women's players being primadonna weaklings.

The season has truly begun.

[freudo]

Anyone know when TTC stars it's coverage of the HopCup? Their logs are tres confuse
Shaughnessy beat Mirza, Fish won too, India's dubs team won! Serena is supposedly coming soon. Molik beat LucieSaf....

[Brinyi]

So it's USA - Serbia in the meaningless final.

For some reason Jankovic is tanking the singles matches but hobbling through the mixed doubles matches despite a heavily strapped hammy.

[sasha]

TTC has showed some matches already. But, they never follow schedule, so good luck finding when they're on.

[Self-Love, Baby!]

Jelena is being a selfish bitch. I usually like her, but come on. Quite the diva antics. No one buys your injury. You play too much. Let France play the final. Bullshit all around. She's not making the semis in Melbourne.

[lexpretend]

What the hell is Jankovic playing at? She says she's "risking her career" playing here, so either she's the new Kimmie when it comes to injuries or she's dumber than I thought was even possible. Soon, we're going to need a separate thread to accommodate all these "Jelena is a stupid bitch" occasions.

[Edna Krabappel]

She's clearly playing the patriotic card. "Look, I'm so injured and risking my career, but I'll do anything for my country!!! (Unlike Ana who didn't want to play Fed Cup last year although she hadn't lost a limb!).
Sadly, many stupid people here are buying it.

I think she'll be fine, but really, this was so unnecessary.

[Brinyi]

Not to mention what a ripoff this is for anyone who was stupid enough to pay for tickets to this event.

[Brinyi]

"Mardy Fish, right, and Serena Williams, both of the US, pose with their winners trophy after defeating Novak Djokovic and Jelena Djokovich [sic] , of Serbia"

[sasha]

“If I was playing for myself in a regular tournament, I would pull out and not bother going on court. I am representing my country, not Jelena, so I want to fight until the end and not disappoint Novak.”

Bwahaha.

This lame exhibition wouldn't be so terrible if they'd just cut the mixed. Which nobody ever wants to play, except the total scrubs. See: Fish.

God, Fish really sucks. He's so hard to watch.

[Denise49IQ]

IT'S TIME TO PARTY, LET'S GO MARDY!!

Aaah New Haven memories. Mardy fans trying to compete with the J-Block, lolz.

[Pamela Shriver]

The Fish Tank was an amazing experience.
