lex pretend, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 01:11 (eleven years ago) link

this is why i love murray, completely genuine reaction. none of that fall-on-your-back bullshit. compare serena's reaction to winning yesterday

xp wow props lex

lol that this culminates in Murray joking about someone else not smiling

also this Historic British Moment occurred at 2am here, and not televised on any channel most people have

ask morbs if he is better off than he was 4 days ago (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 01:17 (eleven years ago) link

and overshadowed about 100x by this

ask morbs if he is better off than he was 4 days ago (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 01:17 (eleven years ago) link

that was just fucking awesome stuff anyway

ask morbs if he is better off than he was 4 days ago (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 01:18 (eleven years ago) link

look i love serena but her OMG CANT BELIEVE IT bullshit is off putting

la goonies (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 01:18 (eleven years ago) link

the hell is a minority sport?

la goonies (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 01:19 (eleven years ago) link

props to sky for employing dude to say 'take away the whole tennis thing'

ask morbs if he is better off than he was 4 days ago (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 01:21 (eleven years ago) link

yeah so weird that somebody might be happily surprised about winning a slam after being down a break twice in the 3rd set as well as two points from losing it 15 minutes earlier -_-

uberweiss, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 01:24 (eleven years ago) link

see serena's muted reactions to her NID AO '09 and Wimbledon '10 wins -_-

uberweiss, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 01:26 (eleven years ago) link

look i love serena but her OMG CANT BELIEVE IT bullshit is off putting

How dare Serena be all "holy shit, that happened" when, as a 30-year-old, she rallied from a 5-3 deficit in the third set to win 4 games in a row to win the championship after a set and a half of shit play. So totally fake of her.

DARING PRINCESS (DJP), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 01:26 (eleven years ago) link

alright if you watched that reaction and felt like it wasn't contrived then fine, we disagree

la goonies (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 01:28 (eleven years ago) link

Well now we can all catch our breath and wait on the Australian Open next we--oh fuck.

so shocking to see Djokovic tap out physically like that. Djokovic 2.0 is no more.

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 08:00 (eleven years ago) link

rankings race the rest of the year will be really interesting. Fed is defending a lot of points, but they're points at some of his best tournaments, and who knows how hard Djokovic will push the rest of the year.

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 08:02 (eleven years ago) link

sry for the grammar, it's late

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 08:02 (eleven years ago) link

Didn't come in here last night because I feared that my stream was 1-2min behind and I didn't want any spoilers!

So... (forgive if I've got the numbers wrong, it was back of a fag packet stuff yesterday during a meeting while looking idly at my phone!)
Fed 11,795 (3,000 to defend between now and Nov 12th)
Djoko 10,470 (560 to defend)
Murray 8,570 (1,930 to defend)
Nadal 7,515 (390 to defend)

btw, in "non US Open tennis news to make us all feel ancient", who remembers Rossana de los Rios? Former Paraguayan No 1, reached the Roland Garros last 16 in 2000, beat Coetzer and Seles in her time, also handed Vaidisova her final Wimbledon loss in 2009. Anyway her DAUGHTER, who I remember as this cute 5-yr-old who'd accompany her mum around the tour and with whom St Kim posed for many saintly photos, is now 15 and making her senior tournament debut this week in a Colombian 10K event...

lex pretend, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 09:43 (eleven years ago) link

Nice! I vaguely remember her though mostly because her name sounds like mine.

still not a Murray fan but... four different Slam winners this year! I like it. plus there's something kind of kismet-y about the thing with him and Lendl both finally winning one on the fifth try.

Roz, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 09:53 (eleven years ago) link

bummed about having had to miss pretty much every match from the QFs onwards though - completely swamped by work bs, and couldn't afford to stay up/wake up at ungodly hours for tennis. :( seems like the Vika/Serena match was decent?

Andy Murray and entourage went partying at Hakkasan NY last night. Total bar bill $6,500. Murray's share - one lemon soda for $6.

lex pretend, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 10:52 (eleven years ago) link

Hahahah. I hope he never changes.
