Sluts!

Since there’s no stream for the Most Epic Doubles Ever (aka Team Vikiri versus Wicky + some other lady), I’m watching some ridiculous videos online. I was browsing through ESPNStar‘s tennis database and, let me tell you, that’s a lot of ridiculousness.
I’m going to highlight my favourites, but really, you should watch all interviews. The number of stupid questions asked are…. quite high.
They ask Sveta who her favourite label is. Just…… look at what she’s wearing. Girl wouldn’t recognise fashion even if it punched her on the stomach and spitted on her face. A bit harsh? Sorry. Hey, at least she says Balenciaga. You’ll understand how special that is after hearing ‘Dolce & Gabbana‘ a million times. I’m shocked no one said Louis Vuitton. You can tell the players love the monogram. (ED NOTE: This isn’t a Federer joke.)
Magdalena Rybarikova: my new personal favourite. They ask who, in the whole world, she would like to go on a date with. She says David Beckham and some tennis players. What tennis players? Rafael Nadal. What would she wear on a date with Nadal? Something sexy and short.
Now Laura Robson starts to make sense.
This one isn’t funny. Or original. Or slutty. But butchy!dimple-attack!Vika makes me happy. Carry on, readers, carry on.
There’s a Rafa fangirl in all of us

Today’s fangirl: Samantha Stosur
Sammy, I approve of you so much. Like, in general.

Daniela Hantuchova: the life ruiner

She ruins people’s lives!!!!
You know, I’m sure Daniela is a very nice girl. In fact, I’ve heard from from a friend who has interviewed her that she’s a doll. Polite, calm girl. So I ask myself, what is such a nice girl doing ruining people’s lives? Why must she cockblock all epic duos in life? And, most importantly, why does she hate me?
It all started a while ago with the Sports Illustrated shoot with Maria Kirilenko, Tatiana Golovin and The Life Ruiner. I was pretty excited about this line-up. I love Kiri. I love Tati. They both make me laugh when trying to be hot. They make me go ‘LOLLL THIS SPORT U GUISE ♥’ and I like going ‘LOLLL THIS SPORT U GUISE ♥’. I was expecting a picture of them together.
But I got this.
Here, let me show you where it all went wrong:
But I got over that. You know, I’m sure she wasn’t like ‘Hey, let me stand between Kiri and Tati and ruin all possible Russian lolz that could happen to make Fierce Tennis miserable’. Like, she wasn’t, was she?
Time passed. There were other Russian lolz to care about. It was announced, in Stanford, that Sharapova would play doubles with Wicky. That was one big Russian lolz. I was excited. I posted about it. But then Wicky tweeted that Wickypova wouldn’t happen. My heart was broken. What was I supposed to do with my life?
Today the Stanford doubles draw came out. Why should I care? There was no Team Angry Giants. But then something caught my attention, and by something I mean people going ‘OMG!!!!!!!!’ on my Ttwitter timeline. Fierce Tennis‘ official girlcrush, Victoria Azarenka, would play doubles with Kiri. Finally! Another doubles team I could support. And who did they drew on the first round? Wicky (!!!!!) and….. Daniela Hantuchova.
I don’t think I need to get into how epic it would have been Wickypova playing against Vika/Kiri. I’m sure you’ll be able to tell by the amount of weeping I’ve done. Hint: A LOT. Daniela Hantuchova, you’re playing with fire here. Ask Federer how it feels to be on my shit list. Awful, I’ll bet he says. My sources tell him he cries himself to sleep every night because of it. Yeah, girl, I can be a bully.
Why Elena Dementieva should win a Grand Slam: a list.

(This is a very boring and pointless post — skip ahead if you wish.)
BASICALLY: I was bored. I wanted to post. And bobbychin was the only one to suggest something to go here.
Carry on.

In Stella We Trust
July 17th, 2010 • caro the danish cutie, tennis players are fashionists too • 1 comment
It took Stella a while.
There were missteps, there were ‘oh gosh, you have seen who you’re designing to, right???’ moments, there was incredibility that Caro was still wearing the same dress — but, it seems like it has finally worked. Stella McCartney has designed a proper outfit for Caroline Wozniacki.
Caro’s US Open outfits were posted on WTA Tennis Blog. From what it looks like, she will have two different dresses: one for her day matches and one for the night sessions.
I’ll have to wait to see proper pictures of Caro wearing the dress but up until this point I’m loving it. I like how they are fancier than the regular Stella stuff she has been wearing and yet it doesn’t approach the Sharapova 2006 US Open sequin disaster. There are other clear signs of improvement, like the waist. This dress will be much fitting to Caro‘s body — it will accentuate her curves instead of making her look like a balloon in a skirt. We’re not all Maria Kirilenkos.
Basically: Stella, this is your chance to show the tennis world why you’re one of my favourite designers. Get on it.
Novak and Gaël are, officially, rockstars.

Performers/Singers/GOATs Dragonette and Martin Solveig did their second collaboration together for Martin’s new album “Smash”. They made an epic music video about the story of a tennis match between Martin and Bob Sinclair. It was filmed in front of a live crowd on Phillipe Chatrier during Roland Garros. It’s hilarious and delicious. It has a bit of Tenenbaums vibe to it. The video also includes the participation of two specially ballers. Here’s the video for it:
TUNE.
Not a bad way to start the week

We’ll ignore the fact that:
- I hate grass
- Lena is injured and not playing
- Vika is injured
- Kiri is injured
- Pekotrazzi is injured…. mentally
- I’m not so confident about Rafa‘s chances
- Sammy‘s kick serve doesn’t work on the surface
- Etc.
And we’ll just say….
BRING. IT. ON.
The snuggliest German since Knut

All in favour of calling the WTA Tour ‘The Petkorazzi & co Tour’ say I.
Meanwhile, still talking about the World Cup (I’m sorry, is there actual tennis going on?): a very cute article on Caro and football. Cutest. Liverpool. Fangirl. Ever.
Yeah…. I don’t even know either.
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.
