DAMN
DAMN YOU’RE A SEXY BITCH
DAMN GIRL

After defeating Dulgheru in a tough three-setter, Wicky now plays moonballer Sara Errani for a semifinal spot. Allez! She says she’ll continue having Akon’s “Sexy Bitch” as her song to come into court. I can only laugh. Afterall, Wicky really ain’t nothing you can compare to your neighbour whore.

P.S. I miss the shorts.

Look, Masha, I’ve found you a friend!

(why on earth did she put that picture up of herself up?)

From Wicky‘s blog:

I’ve been reading Twilight – I got the first one and finished in like two days, then it took me two or three days to get through the second one, and now I’m about halfway through the third one. I guess in another day or two it’ll be finished :) I haven’t seen the movie though. That’s the first thing on my list when I get back home!

Go call Sharapova to discuss some fantastic literature now.

And from something I’d call “stuff I’d rather not know”:

Just…. *cringes*

Dina was the only one that answered that correctly by saying “pop music”. Kuddos, number one.

P.S. Why do I have the feeling “Nicole, Australia” is reader of mine?

Wicky blogs!

Yanina Wickmayer is blogging from Linz! And I believe that awkwardly tall Belgian deserves as much as attention as possible.

(click on the picture to go the blog)

Technically, I’m doing free publicity for the WTA Tour but I don’t really care, Wicky amuses me. She looks awkward even in the first blogging picture. And she’s playing tennis. I’m already smitten.

The most interesting part about this is that Wicky is taking question. All you need to do is e-mail the WTA at webmaster@wtatour.com with the subject “QuestionForYanina”. I’ll ask you guys to make original questions. Please, no “How did it feel to make the U.S. Open semifinals?”. If you want to ask that, just ask me and I’ll come up with an answer. “Amazing, unexpected, yadda yadda yadda”.

If your question gets picked, please tell us.

Last bit of Beijing LOLZ

Somehow I feel like that picture should go to the blog’s “about” page.

My first full thought when looking at this picture was “OH LOL for a second there I thought that dude in white was Yanina Wickmayer“. And then I looked at the subtitle. It was her. Oh, Wicky, never change, okay?

And via Mind The Racket, another video of the two most unintentionally hilarious doubles players (Elena Vesnina does not count): Sam Stosur and Rennae Stubbs. Playing ping pong.

I think I could actually beat them. WIN.

The shallow

I’ve a watched a total of one match in Tokyo: the Pavs-Venus one. I do not have the hypocrisy to comment on the tennis. I could look at the stats, read the articles and come up with my own thoughts but not having actually watched the matches, I’d feel like I was lying. Therefore, I’ll comment on what I can:

Vika. In shorts!

“Is that really blog-worthy?”, you might ask. “Yes”, I’d say, “It’s my blog, shut up.”

I love tennis skirts. I even prefer to play in skirts, they look cuter. But when every WTA-er is playing in one… it gets boring. I wonder if it’s a femininity thing. Because the girls are professional athletes, with strong muscles and all, maybe they feel like they get girlier in skirts. If that’s the case: fail, ladies, fail. Most of the time, a fitting pair of short shorts look a lot more feminine and sexier than these loose dresses at the hips they wear.

If you’re a professional tennis player reading this and you’re wondering what to wear next season, let me help you. I imagine the headband is a given. So let’s continue on the shorts — which type suits you best.

Considered one of the sport’s greatest fashion style, Anna K. knew how to wear her shorts.

The belt is what makes the outfit. In both cases, it’s used to complement the bi-colour scheme. Simple, feminine and stylish. Even Elena Dementieva wore a rip-off (+ ridiculously amounts of FAIL) from Yonex.

Another player that was famous for her short-wearing was crazy, crazy Nastya Myskina. When she isn’t on reality shows, making out with girlbands members or riding horses naked… she is wearing shorts! Trufax.

And to finish this (because oh my goodness, it was serious HARD), lovely Daniela Hantuchova and Yanina Wickmayer.

Today’s Lesson: LESS dresses that make you look like you’re pregnant, MORE shorts.

Professional tennis players, feel free to e-mail me for fashion help. It will only cost a small fee. Ty.

Being a ~*celebrity*~ + Rain

Earlier today, U.S. Open Official Believer, Melanie Oudin, made an appearance on The Ellen Show. In a pretty sweet interview, we find out the whole world agrees that Melanie is a cradle robber and that meeting Ellen Degeneres > winning tennis matches. But it’s not like we didn’t know that. Still watchable and will most likely lift your mood.

After the interview, they played some tennis. Well, “tennis”, actually. To play doubles, Ellen paired up with Queen Latifah and Melanie with some random dude.

You know, in my time, lesbians used to be better players. Just sayin’. I’m sure Martina and BJK would not approve that.

And this is a BONUS to this post: Have you ever wondered what tennis players do during rain delays? Well, here’s what Team Belgium does. Cuties.

Women’s semifinals preview

Kim Clijsters (BEL) x Serena Williams (USA)

Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) x Yanina Wickmayer (BEL)

If someone had told me six months ago that there was going to be no Russians at the quarterfinals and a possible All-Belgian final at the U.S. Open, I’d never have believed them. Amazing how things change.

Hoping for a Clijsters-Caro final here. What about you guys?

Danish Cutie wins at life. Pam Shrivers fails at life.

September 10th, 2009 • caro the danish cutie, melanie oudin new goat, yanina wickmayer

Yesterday, Caroline Wozniacki aka Caro aka Danish Cutie aka Sunshine moved into her first Slam semifinal ever. Losing just four games in a little under an hour and half, she defeated the new American sweetheart. The match was far from being stellar, it was obvious the pressure had finally hit Oudin. She was making more mistakes than she had done in her previous rounds. It’s possible the 17-year-old also felt the Dane’s style of play. Differently from all the Russians she had played, Caro has a very similar counterpunching game to Oudin. She gets a lot of balls back and ends up making the opponent go for the winner — increasing the number of errors. With this win, Caro will go up to number 7 (!) in the rankings. She now plays Wickmayer for a spot in the final on Friday*.

After the match, Caro was interviewed about her future semifinal opponent by Pam Shriver. Pam asked her how was she was feeling about being the clear the favourite now she’d face Wickmayer. The way that was said made it sound, at the very least, that the commentator was underestimating the Belgian. The crowd booed her and Pam shot a “What did I say?” to them back. Check out the video, it’s a must-watch. Not only because of the booing but because Caro has a clear look of scare when she hears the sound. She probably thought they were booing her. Bless her.

Just before that match, Pam had also interviewed Oudin’s 9-year-old sister. She had closed the kid’s eyes and asked her to spell the Oudins’ mantra, “Believe”, that was written on her shirt. B-E-L-E-I-V-E, the kid said. After embarrassing the girl, Pam said some lame-ass joke and sneakily ran away.

Seriously, someone was on a fire yesterday.
