Sergiy Stakhovsky vs Denis Istomin
Two unknown players battling out for the Pilot Pen title in New Haven. Is it tennis or chess? Very interesting. Compare to the girls- NYT’s girls rule or girl power .. but any sport in slow mo would look spectacular? – those two look like the sissy. Hmmmmm .. actually it’s different and neat. A [...]

Formerly
Ok, as it turns out, Maria’s pretty outfit is two pieces: shirt and skirt, at $60 each. Without the Russian bella this outfit looks dead and dreadful. Of course. That’s where models and mannequins come in. I really don’t like the frilly shoulders which is in fashion this season, which [...]

Pink vs pink
Perhaps each tennis entourage or camp doesn’t talk to each other: Roger Federer is wearing a mute pink while Nadal hot pink. Image if they were to make to US Open final this Sept .. holy smoke my New York is going to be shrouded under a pink spell. .. Btw FedEx is not as [...]

19-inch
Some girls just have it all
I always admire her outfits on court
Wondering why it looks so good
Then I realized she has a narrow waist
I didn’t get to measure her – let’s not get too extreme
but I think 19 inches aren’t too far from the fact
She should look great in Maria’s new outfit
19″
Oh lord, I [...]

Randall’s Island Tennis Center
This new Sportime opened last June (6/30/2009) with a price tag of $18 Million, for WTT – World Team Tennis. Pretty cool. We played there in June, the lighting was poor unless they turn on the ally way. There was bathrooms for non members.
This picture looks like a painting more than a [...]

A water lily?
My ears are being seriously abused: Maria Sharaova is playing Victoria Azarenka at the Bank of the West Classic 2010 at Stanford, San Francisco.
BUT ..
I like Maria’s little dress, color wise and design wise. It looks wonderful on her long torso on TV . This picture doesn’t do her justice.
Both girls have [...]

The Roland Garros
I visited Roland Garros yesterday: guided tour/museum only but no play . Oh Paris, do I miss tennis (and swimming). It seems only the US Open is open to the mass since Wimbledon is a private club (not sure about the Aussie’s).
The surrounding area of RG is very green, a lovely [...]

To qulify for W
The qualifying rounds at Wimbledon
We are having fun waiting on line on the shaded Queue: listening to Serena battling the lovely Maria on the speakers that lined the way. Man, their combined grunts rocked the world. Serena won the screaming match.
Those teens are having good time while their parents or their buddies are [...]

Naked Russia babe on diaper
Wrong order of the words .. consider it’s London frame of mind at the moment. From Russia with Love, Russian babe gone wrong? Europe trash? Found Maria with diaper on bus stop at Wimbledon. What it IS?
Evian water is as good as baby’s errrr ?? The official sponsors [...]

Acer
The little tree John Isner is battling Mahut in the 5th set and has dished out 46 aces vs the French’s 38. It seems both capable of big serve but very little everything else, the match becomes boring.
ESPN heard me so they switch to Andy Roddick vs Llodra. They are in the 4th [...]

The Woman in Red
First thing first. Our first match at the Sectionals vs Southern. My partner Sean at coin toss ceremony.
I floated into the court feeling like a million buck light and happy but soon were sent off the court on our own feet: we lost decisively at 1 and 1. Better than the bicycles, right? I’m thick [...]

The League
The Championship is very much a family affair, meeting old friends/foes.

One night at Ikea, a plump middle aged lady was asking one of the store clerks in her heavy Hispanic accent if the shipping was free.
The tall clerk who’s a young woman, stood on a slightly raised floor behind the desk, looking down and replied [...]

An IQ test
What’s the hottest beach sport? .. Come to the NTC and play America’s beach sport. It’s free and lighted. And no g-string c-sting or full-string required.
Tennis anyone?

The Color Purple
I saw her at the sectional playoffs at Syracuse last summer when she played for a 4.5 ladies league, now a 5.0 in a mixed doubles 10.0 league – ya baby, you go girl! Reportedly she’s from the Albany area and a former college player.
The USTA Eastern Mixed Doubles sectional championship has 5 flights [...]
