Anyone like Tennis?

No, watching it on TV on CBS.

Don't know if they are the same commentators.

Yikes...Stousr won.

Regarding commentators, found this:

You might be referring to Mary Carillo, who is doing the MC job during the award ceremony.

Chris Evert.. she's from the u.s., different voice.
I have a bit of a gut bias against this woman, not for opinions that I can't completely hear but her voice, which I admit is completely stupid of me.

'k, Serena gave a good interview, after apparent fooforaw at the beginning of the second set.

Meantime, Stosur, wow.

I doubt it, very brit voice. I wanna slap her... (sorry, interesting even to me that I would react that way, a mix of her voice and some catches of opinions spoken)

All right, I've searched. No name to the voice in my explorations.

So, anyway, congratulations to Djokovic. Haven't watched the match yet.

Still haven't read more about the Williams Shosur match after I didn't hear the commentary last evening well.

I gather the overwhelming stuff is against Williams, back last evening, and I figure I agree, you don't do that.

Not that you can't do that, but that would be a different game system, taking grunts (already argued pro and con) to a whole new level.

Surely Serena has not been the first woman with emotions in the relatively tightly run game of tennis.

Monica started the grunts.
Will Serena start the yells?
I hope not.

(drat -- forgot to watch from work this afternoon...)

After losing his fourth opening-round match on Monday in the China Open (this time to Kevin Anderson), Roddick lost his cool when a reporter asked him if he is considering retirement.

For anyone watching tennis over the last couple months, Roddick losing his cool must be all too familiar. Just before the U.S. Open, Roddick let out his frustration in the middle of a match in Cincinnati and swatted a ball into the stands. Then he proceeded to argued with the umpire after he was penalized a point.

The 29-year-old took that testy attitude into the U.S. Open, where he ripped tennis analysts after his first-round victory and claimed that it's "the easiest job in the world."

Later in the tournament, Roddick lost his temper again and flipped out at chair umpire Carlos Bernardes over the wet court conditions before his fourth-round match.

Missed your post back then. Yeh, Roddick has a coolth problem.


Today I'm looking at a tennis, er, program online that I've barely heard of - Barclays, held in London, between the eight bigs (men).

Nadal and Mardy Fish even in third set as of a few minutes ago.

I'll link in a minute.

Ah, not a few minutes ago exactly -

Yes, but Roddick's comment's about analysts were both funny and pretty good. I do think Roddick gets a pretty big pass on his recent behavior. It does get some attention, but Serena Williams can have one spat with a referee that doesn't involve bad language or even raised voices and she's the spawn of the devil. Roddick seems to rant regularly and people just roll their eyes and move on.

So Fish is having a good year overall. His re-dedication to fitness and renewed focus seem to be paying off.

Looks like Nadal in a third set tie-break.

So, Nadal and the Fed, arguably squishy results - but I didn't see the games.
I'm not into doubles yet - I could never figure out where to stand (maybe played doubles twice, once in class, once on a date.). Figuring the nuances of that, that's next. Sort of like small volleyball.

And tennis goes on, with the Australian Open.

news on it from the U.S.'s Sports Illustrated website:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/tennis/01/16/australian-open-nadal.ap/index.html?sct=tn_t2_a13

watched a bit of the men's final this morning.
the match took nearly 6 hours, making it the longest grand slam final ever,
as well as the longest aussie open match ever.

both players were spent during the award presentation, barely able to stand up.
some kind soul finally brought out a couple of chairs so they could take a load off...

Hell, I don't even like SLEEPING for 6 hours but they played world class tennis for 6 hrs. YIKES! What's wrong with this picture?
