I should probably start stringing soon

January 30th, 2009 No comments

That's an afternoon at least

Um… yeah… I should probably get to it. Down to 3 left with strings!

Maybe I’ll have a Super Stringing Parrrrrty while folk are watching that other game from that other sport this weekend.

Mancrushes are Difficult

Andy Murray loses in Oz.

Verdasco was playing out of his freaking mind. Good match. Bummed my boy lost. My other boy, or boy-b (Federer) is looking not so great either (looked tired since the second round). On the other hand my other other boy, boy-c, Nadal is looking amazing.

Except for the clothes. Nike did him so wrong there. Just… wrong. I mean … seriously –

That’s just bad, Nike. Bad. And I don’t mean the expression.

Anyway, given my recent luck at backing massive losers, I expect Fed to lose soon and the detested Djokivic to repeat as champ. Boo!

Update: Murray had the flu and was hospitalized shortly after his match, so he gets a pass. Djoke wilted in the heat, and Fed’s in the final (I have Nadal-Verdasco DVR’d … no spoilers!). So… it’s looking good. Fed’s playing some amazing tennis and Nadal was too until the Simon and the what I’ve seen so far of the Verdasco match.
