"Awwwnnn" doesn't quite cover it
April 22nd, 2009 • caro the danish cutie, demented
Lena lost today 7-5 6-4 to Caro in an exhibition in Denmark. Which was all very shocking since the tickets only started selling yesterday. Spontaneous Exo — whatever floats Lena’s boat. As a fan of hers since Sydney 2000, I should be slightly frustrated that she’s now being owned by a 18-year-old kid. But I’m not because her owner is one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen and I heart her tennis muchly.
I’m slightly amused by their relationship though. They seem to be incredibly cordial, even, gasp!, friendly. I realized this after last year’s Luxembourg final. They were giggly after the match that Lena had won in the third set saving match points. Very nice thing to see. Odd, specially considering the age gap and that they’re both from different nationalities: Lena is the-always-patriotic Russian and Caro is a Dane from a Polish family. That’s not very common in the Women’s circuit.
But what is even more amusing is the Danish press: Cover of Sporten.dk? Caroline is a master. Cover of Dr.dk/sporten? The adorableness. I love how proud they are of her. Caro is already the best Danish player in history and she’s very close to making the Top 10. I’m excited to see what the headlines will be when she finnaly makes it (no jinxing!).

Answer: I have tried and failed several times to keep blogs up. Why? Because I don’t like doing serious journalism unless there’s money showing up in my bank account — and there wasn’t. This blog will have no interest in being impartial or, you know, actually talking about the sport (ok, maybe from time to time). There are tons of other blogs (and news websites) that do this job pretty well already. Here we will discuss the shallow part: the outfits, the gossip, the outrages and who Fernando Verdasco is currently dating.
