Mandatory pretty Spanish boy into the second week

June 27th, 2009 • 2 comments gonzo, kfc, nole jokevic, the russian sexgod

I should first say I adore Gonzo. He’s got the sexy latino look down, has a hot temper and an extremely flashy tennis. But… JUANQUI, MY BOY! ♥ He’s in the second week and he’s going to play someone beatable (sorry French fans!): Gillou. My nostalgic side is cheering for Juanqui like crazy because, tbh, I don’t have anyone I care much in the men’s side to save this. Novak? Eh, maybe, don’t think so. Juanqui said he’ll retire in the end of the year so excuse me if I squee with anyone can do what Marat wasn’t able to.*

And does anyone remember those rumors that JCF and Sharapova were dating? I think it was in 2005 or 2006. Juanqui used to lighten his hair at the time and I used to say they shared the same hairdresser. Hah. Now there are more chances they would be sharing girl (but not Camilla pls).

*OK IT HURTS TOO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT IT. WHY MARAT WHY. ;__;

P.S. This has nothing to do with the post but it’s pretty to look at so let’s squeeze it in here:

Brb dying of hotness.

Good tennis makes good day

I’ve been called “crazy” and all different sorts of synonyms by family and friends because of tennis. If I go back and think of the numerous ammounts of classes I’ve skipped to either watch or play, all the times I drank my sorrows because “dear goodness, Lena is such a choker” and all the days that the only reason I was happy was because of a match — you can say the shoe kinda fits. Last night, I went to this birthday party and crashed at my friend’s place after. I got there at 5 am and at 10 am I was sitting on his living room’s couch, wrapped under a blanket, waiting for the match to begin. There are matches things like these that are totally not worth it. I can name numerous Saturdays and Sundays I woke up at 6am to watch Lena lose in either the semis or the finals of Kremlin Cup. Yes, 6 am on Sundays. I’m hardcore. Today, it was totally frakkin’ worth it. 4 hours and 2 minutes of mind-blowing tennis with Rafa saving 3 match points. Novak had his chances, he completely owned Rafa in the first set and had the chance to close out the match in the second. I think these are the moments where you see why Rafa is number one: mental strength. Kid is a fighter. Now tomorrow we’ll have the final that the press and the organizers were waiting for: Roger x Rafa. I think Federer has a big chance of defeating Rafa tomorrow, he’s fresh (his semi lasted under an hour and half) and the boy just played a marathon.

You can watch the highlights of the match here and Rafa’s post match interview here.

And just because I’m excited for Roland Garros:

I’ll be there in Paris from Monday to Sunday during the first week. I’ll be taking pictures like crazy so I will try to blog and tweet them as much as possible. :)

Champion of the day

Today, Nole Djokovic beat Poland’s Lucasz Kobot to win the title of the first Novak’s Serbian Open. The text on his shirt says “Serbia I love you” in Cyrillic. Pretty cute, eh? This tourney has been nothing but amusing to me. I found out quite a few interesting things:

1) bb Marko can actually play tennis — I thought he was only good for the eyes like Makiri or Jeremy Chardy and,

2) it looks like Novak has his own line of water — lawlz. Aqua Novak, do you think they sell that at local supermarkets?
