Had a stupid argument with hubby this morning about a stupid old computer which's been gathering dust in a corner for 4 years. Some stupid fucking words were spoken, mood soured irretrievably for the day. Fuck.

Now, I'm in a sort of a conundrum re: today's final. On one hand, I'd like Kolya D. to win: he's russian, after all, he's played awesome and he deserved. On the other hand. DelPo will overtake Muzz in the ranking if he wins the title, and that day couldn't come soon enough (overtaking I mean, not winning the title). Better DelPo than Muzz for sure; I just wish the boy's shots wouldn't look like donkey punches.

Oh well. I've promised myself to not give a shit about london, and kept it so far, so... I'll watch it nice and relaxed, and whoever wins, well... good for him.

Now that point from Kolya-Fed match, you know the one:




Now it's time to take Monkey boy for a walk.

What a comedy of a match, unreal.

I love you man, but stop embarrassing yourself. First, if at 30 y.o and after 13 years of pro life you're still getting fooled by that, than you're a tool who deserves no better. Second, I distinctly remember someone taking a mto at RG '04, just as Starace was about to serve for the match. And against Hewitt in the AO '05 final - to get leg massage, of all things? Now who might that have been? Errm... let me remember... you!Everybody does that, just,,, stfu for chrissakes.

On the other hand, was pretty interesting to know at last why he had a spit with Roddick at the Athenes Olympics - because of the schedule, it turned out. I was mildly disappointed tbh hoped for somehing more epic.

On the third hand, DelPo's fall season is really shaping up in the footsteps of Nole's '07 fall season, only with an injury on top of that. No wonder the stands were empty - why would fans go to a tournament if every top player who takes the court just fucking retires?

Nole started his match playing short to Fabio's forehand like a moron, but let's chalk it up for not knowing what the guy's up to. Then lifted up his return game, blasted Fabio's candy-ass. Fabio's really too pretty, almost indecently so.

Oooomph! 3:6 7:6 4:6 7:6 6:2
