My roommates and one of my roommate's family, who are in town, watched much of Chak/King with me. One of my roommates asked how long this would take, which I didn't grasp. She did not understand that there is no time limit, and I explained to her that, theoretically, a tennis match could last forever.
Response: "Well, this one could, since they both SUCK." I explained that King was bringing the Chak down.
Anyway, she liked Penis-Nadia better. "I like when they scream."
This is why I try not to watch tennis with anyone save a select few.

Bremond is very attractive.
But, I want Italia to win.

Well how about our Franny! She's got the heart of a LION. Now I wish I had watched today!

Can't believe Russia has to rely on VESNINA.

So far, so okay. 6-5 for Russia in the first set. FVW/Raymo have had 6 break points but only converted once. And now two set points... ;D

Fratelli d'Italia L'Italia s'è desta, Dell'elmo di Scipio S'è cinta la testa. Dov'è la Vittoria? Le porga la chioma, Ché schiava di Roma Iddio la creò. Stringiamci a coorte Siam pronti alla morte L'Italia chiamò.

Just read that Golovin was 5-2 up in the third. Har de har har. And Tadde went on a rampage against Japan.

From the Italian Federation chairman: Grazie ai criticoni
C'è euforia, una euforia totale. Se la vittoria dello scorso anno contro la Francia poteva essere considerata una sorpresa, questa volta sapevano a cosa andavano incontro. E il dato più piacevole è che potevamo finire anche sul 5 a 0.
Un grazie speciale a queste ragazze, ma anche a quelli che ancora oggi dicono che il tennis in Italia è in crisi. E' grazie a loro che non ci facciamo trascinare dalla gioia e dall'entusiasmo, che rimaniamo con i piedi per terra e continuiamo a lavorare e a soffrire. La gioia rischia di ubriacarti e questi signori hanno il merito di riportarci alla realtà. Il successo degli Internazionali, le gioie che ci regalano negli ultimi anni queste ragazze, la Santangelo che vince Roland Garros e Roma, Volandri che batte il numero 1 del mondo, Trevisan che è numero 2 del mondo juniores e la crescita inarrestabile del numero di tesserati e dei tornei internazionali in Italia per loro significano che siamo in crisi. Se vinciamo nelle competizioni a squadre il vero tennis è quello dei tornei. Se perdiamo in Coppa Davis con Israele dicono che dobbiamo vergognarci. Attaccano i nostri ragazzi quando perdono e li ignorano quando vincono, come hanno fatto adesso con Seppi. Grazie a tutti quelli che dicono tutto e il contrario di tutto. Faccio il tifo per loro. Sono un patrimonio del tennis italiano."Thanks to the h8t0rz. If we win in team competitions, singles tournaments are what tennis is all about. They rag on our lads when they lose and ignore them when they win. Thanks to those who say everything and then the opposite of everything. I root for them. They're an asset for Italian tennis."
