Cool matches I won't watch
June 23rd, 2009 • Uncategorized
I won’t bring my uni whining to even here, but tomorrow’s Women’s OOP is looking mighty fine, eh?
Maria Sharapova(RUS)[24] v. Gisela Dulko(ARG)
We’ll see if Sharapova’s 24th seed was fair. Gise is a fair talented player than can take out the 2004 champion. And she was also wearing a headband during RG. I believe we need to follow and support the headband…ers.
Victoria Azarenka(BLR)[8] v. Ioana Raluca Olaru(ROU)
Pretty girls. That’s all. Oh, idk why you would like to see this match. To see Vika’s headband? Vika’s “hype”? The “Romanian Revolution”? There. Three great reasons. I win. Go scream “Davai Vika” now.
Aravane Rezai(FRA) v. Elena Dementieva(RUS)[4]
Calling an upset here. Only this is Lena. And I’m never right when it comes to Lena… except when I am. So… a-ha!
Dominika Cibulkova(SVK)[14] v. Urszula Radwanska(POL)
Roland Garros semifinalist and Tiniest Player Ever, Domi, has a real challenge when she takes on Grassula (!!!!!!!!!!! ♥) on grass. May the best player win*.
Elena Vesnina(RUS) v. Vera Dushevina(RUS)
This match has the potential to be one of hell of a three-setter. One of these long matches in a tiny external court that keeps the crowd hanging there cheering the players on. Except this is grass so there’s a chance of being 6-7 7-6 9-7 in a little over an hour. I still except something exciting. Both Russians and both Failed Cup players — they know each other well. Bring it on, girls.
*And by that, I mean, may the cutest hot-tempered blonde Polish girl win.
P.S. Rofl, no way I’m going to tag/categorize this with all the players’ names.

Lena won. Wheee. \o/
I want Lena to take the title, I expect her to lose at any moment now.
And thanks. :)
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.
If Dementieva is upset today, I think my heart will fail – really want a SF (not expecting it, but wanting it). I don’t think she’s playing badly at Wimbledon like she did in Eastbourne…and Rezai is shaky, but it could be a bad day for Elena.
Hope it’s a good day, and I’m sorry that you can’t watch – good luck with your exams.
