Today’s Outfits: The Best Of

August 31st, 2009 • 4 comments Kimilf Clijsters, bepa z., beth mattek the official wta fashionist, kiri is 2 hot 4 u, maria shutupova, tennis players are fashionists too, the radwanskas, vika azarenka, viktoriya kutuzova, williamses

I’ll start with Fierce Tennis‘ official girlcrush, Vika.

Same Wimbledon outfit but in different colours.  The headband is still sexy and — if possible — even sexier in bright yellow but the top is still unflattering as hell. She should have stuck with the black long-sleeved shirt worn during warmup. THAT was looking good.

The conclusive proof headbands are soooo in.

Bethanie Mattek-Sands has one! (and lol @ the socks, I guess it could always be worse with Beth)

Fila tried to do this “old school” look for Kim Clijsters. I like the bag, the rest is… *yawn*.

Serena‘s dress is equally plain but SHOES! I love them.

And on Kiri‘s first tournament as a non-Stella girl… she still looks hot. Shocker.

Good looks: always helps when you don’t have a designer outfit.

One of my favourites: Kutuzova‘s green dress that was supposed to be worn by Sharapova at the Australian Open. Gawjuz.

Bepa Zvonareva kept it clean and simple. Very pretty as well.

I would have preferred if she wore this though. Maybe on her next match?

And to finish this, rumors say this is what Urszula Radwanska will wear on her match tomorrow:

I see.

I’d comment on Men’s fashion but everything is dull and the only thing worth mentioning is this ridiculous Adidas t-shirt worn by Mathieu. EPIC FAIL, three stripes.

Because Andy Roddick & Stiffler isn’t that funny and Vika Azarenka & Anna Torv is old by now:

18-year-old American Devin Britton (that lost to Federer earlier today) and WNBA‘s Diana Taurasi:

John Isner (that upsetted 28th seed Hanescu in straights) and gay cowboy hottie actor Jake Gyllenhaal:

Later on, this day’s fashion post!

Camilla Belle — the official tennis WAG — continues her hard, hard work

August 31st, 2009 • 3 comments nando "slut" verdasco, wags

With the US Open about to start (in exact 15 minutes, as I write this), what am I supposed to do but GOSSIP?

According to Brazilian fashion blog Fashionismo, Camilla Belle and Fernando Verdasco were spotted sharing a meal yesterday at the Rockefeller Center. This is the same Camilla, that five months ago, was getting all friendly with the attractive Spaniard. And the same one that, last month, was making tween idol Joe Jonas weep. Oh, gurl, don’t go breaking my heart.

Fierce Girl

Let’s go, Flavia!

August 25th, 2009 • 2 comments caro the danish cutie, forza!

First, I must apologize for leaving this bubblegum-coloured blog to the flies. You see, my university is back and I have to be up at unholy hours and, as it turns out, I don’t like mocking professional tennis players when I look like a zombie. What I’m doing instead is adding a FML to every sentence that comes out of my mouth. Dramatic, me? No way.

Moving on to the video that put a smile on my face today:

(American) Football Tennis in New Haven

Top ten players Flavia Pennetta and Caroline Wozniacki reimagined the Yale Dome as a giant tennis court. Which both girls apparenly saw as an opportunity to moonball.  Amusing tennis players are amusing.

I just have one question, when Caro said “You hit this ball, I take you out for dinner?”, can everyone try out for that or just Flavia?

Just wondering.

Pop music and breast implants

August 19th, 2009 • 1 comment nastya myskina, the russian sexgod, wags

Yesterday, to the dismay of all tennis fangirls around the world, DTL reported that Maratski is getting married. According to rumors, the Russian SEXGOD will tie the knot with his fancy blowup doll girlfriend, Nastya Osipova, of pop group Blestyashchie. Now, when I read that, the band’s name immediately rang a bell. And, shockingly enough, I’m not particularly familiar with Slavic girlbands, no. So where did I know this amazing piece of Eastern European music from?

Well, remember this?

This being when former Roland Garros champion, Anastasia Myskina, was caught* lip-locking with a woman with huge fake breasts? Well, that woman was Anna Semenovich. Who, according to Wiki, is a retired competitive ice dancer, singer, actress, model and, of course, former member of Blestyashchie. After some very entertaining research, I found out that Marat’s girlfriend joined that band to replace Nastya’s, uh, friend.

Awesome, right? These two grew together, played Hopman Cup together and are now are sleeping their way through some trashy girlband together. Just when you think the Russians couldn’t entertain me more… they do that. And just to help the girls (and boys) mourn, have some hot pictures of Maratski:

*by caught, I mean when she basically just turned to the cameras and said “Hey, look how I’m such a rockstar and make out with chicks”

Two things that made me lol today

1)

From the Google ads at the sidebar. Which, btw, if you like the blog, click on them. Not only they provide such lolz as “IS RAFA A CHRISTIAN?” but they also give me money to pay off the host. Two for one, y’all.

2)

Nole “rapping” for the Bryan Bros‘ “album”. And the video of such ridiculous/amazing thing:

Guess we have a new Vincent Spadea on the tour, u guise.

Cute pictures for the mourning Lena fans

August 16th, 2009 • 1 comment bondarenkos, caro the danish cutie, demented, the radwanskas, vika azarenka

Because I do believe by now, we should all be used from this sort of FAIL coming from Elena Dementieva. We should but, alas, we’re not. We, Lena fans, are too blind by the love to even hate her or even simply be mad at her. We’re hopeless fanatics. We just feel sad and hope the next time, she’ll able to COVERT THE FREAKIN’ MATCH POINTS. *sigh* I might need tennis rehab.

The way I choose to deal with it? Cute pics of the players being adorbs.

Vika being a dork + Alona and Princess + My Polish Trio.

And in case anyone is interested, requested by a friend, I added a new page: Top 5 Women’s Tennis Outfits.

Lists are fun, eh?

Happy thoughts, happy thoughts

August 15th, 2009 • 1 comment ali tsonga, holy rafa, muzzah, roger failderer

Rafa lost last night to Delpo in two sets. Why am I posting this piece of serious news where no mockery can come out of it? I’m being positive.

No sane Rafa fan expected the boy to defend his title after being out for over two months. He won a (full) match and played a very competitive first set against one of the best players on hardcourts so far this season. Baby steps, eh? From his presser:

Q. The knees are fine?

RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, the knees are very good, so that’s very good. Yeah, I must be very happy about this tournament, yeah.

And to reassure us “everything’s going to be okay”:

RAFAEL NADAL: No, I’m very happy and everything was very positive today.

With this loss and Mandy moving to the semifinals after defeating a brainless Tsonga, this gives us a slight change on the rankings. Rafa will move down to the number three position and the British will move up. As much as I like Mandy, I don’t like the fact now we can have a Federer-Nadal slam semifinal. Remember the last two finals with them? Epic. Well, the important thing is to everyone to be healthy, right? Right?? Take care, boys.

Random post is random

August 15th, 2009 • 2 comments gabriela sabatini, nole jokevic, old school

I was aimlessly browsing the interwebz today and I came through some old pictures of Gabriela Sabatini. I’ve seen her in person, I know she has a perfume, I know she was a sex icon… was I supposed to have known that she was so damn unattractive when young? No, seriously, that was a shock. I thought she always looked good.

I know it was the late 80s/early 90s and the players wore the most unfitting, large outfits ever… but… a mullet? Seriously? And the eyebrows? Omg.  At least she was wurkin’ the headband… I guess.

Hard to believe now she looks like this at 39:

Absurd upgrade is absurd.

And to make this post slightly more informative, here’s the first of four parts of this really good interview Gabby did for Eurosport back in 2006:

Sharapova coming to Brazil, Chile and Argentina

August 15th, 2009 • 2 comments gise dulko, maria shutupova

According to Chilean Terra (respesctable source, in my opinion), Sharapova will be coming to South American in the end of November to play exhibitions. Newspaper El Mercurio informs she’ll arrive on Argentina on the 30th November and on Chile on the 2nd December to play Argentinean Gisela Dulko. She’ll stop by Brazil too — with no confirmation so far of any Brazilian source.

The amusing part? The article’s first paragraph:

The beautiful former number 1 of the world, Maria Sharapova, will make the dreams of many true and will visit our country in the end of the year to play the sculptured Argentinean Gisela Duko in one of the most attractive matches that have happened in Chile.

Oh lol, sounds like a whole country needs to get laid.

I think this is an interesting match up if you consider: a) Gise is the one that took Sharapova down on Wimbledon this year, and b) BATTLE OF HEADBANDS PART II, yes?
