The matches sucked but CEREMONY ADORABLENESS didn't

Even though my feelings towards both of the finals was “Wahwahwah why was it so boring and why did X have to lose?”, the trophy presentation made up for it. I don’t think I should be complaining about the quality of the tennis after yesterday’s epic semifinal but eh, I wish Rafa wasn’t a dead man walking today so I would have been more entertained. Thank goodness for tennis players being giggly at each other and Dinara IN JEANS* (I was ridiculously amused by that, ok?)!!!!

  • This picture (and this .gif) of Roger and Dinara when the glitter bomb exploded is literally the LOLLIEST thing ever. They were both scared to death and JUMPED at the sound. Why so presh, bbs?
  • You can see a picspam at someone’s personal LJ here of the Rafa-Roger final and some qt pictures of the ceremony.
  • Here’s a video of the first part of the trophy presentation. Why is the men’s runner-up trophy so fugly? Is it because they thought it was going to go to Federer/Nole?
  • Here’s the second part aka Dinara being adorable speaking Spanish. Hee!

*Does anyone know if these are Diesel jeans from the Adidas collection? Srs question.

Fierce Tennis, you say?

Question: What is this awesome piece of the interwebs?

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.
