Marat, whatever are we going to do without you?

OMG. I was thinking he was sporting a shiner when I was watching a mixed doubles match on Sunday, but thought surely my eyes were deceiving me. Apparently not.

Edit: Fuck lj tags sideways. They're out to get me.

2nd-Jan-2008 09:40 pm - I wanna pack my things and move to Serbia
tennis
I was watching the France - Serbia tie today (tape-delayed and with some bits cut out but beggars cannot be choosers), with the primarily objective to see what Novak's game looks like after '07 late-season disaster. The movement was okay, apparently, but that's about all that I could tell considering that there was a) exhibition and b) Clement on the other side of the net. Not to knock Arnaud, but he's not the type of contender Nole could measure his game against.

So, I relaxed and watched the mixed doubles match just for pleasure, and what a blast it was. Everyone playful and happy, and Novak and Jelena (I learned accidentially, during that match, that her name is pronounced like JElena, with the first syllable stressed) were an absolute hoot together. Nole's ability to engage and communicate the crowd is really something. 



As it is, I'm going tonight, but to Russia, to my mom's. I promised her for ages to visit her for Christmas, and this time I'm making good on my promise. I'll be back in time for the Australian Open.
1st-Jan-2008 11:02 pm - Assorted tidbits from the new season
tennis

Marcos started the season brilliantly, losing in superb style to Haase in the 1st rd. of Chennai. Oh well.

Meanwhile, over on MTF someone posted an entire gallery of players' photos from Hopman Cup New Year ball. A few observations:

Mardy Fish cleans up pretty well.

Clement in a suit is absolutely unrecognizable. I did a double-take seeng him without one of his bandanas.

Three days into the season and we already have a strong contender for the "fashion disaster of the season" award. Novak's striped suit and pink tie... there. are. no. words.

There's something deadly wrong with Jankovic's face. She's not ugly, per se, but her features are the strangest I've seen on a person, I think. There's something vaguely unhuman in them.

The money shot:



The less is said about Golovin, the better.

The rest of the photos are there.
