Australian Open 2008 - The Journey: American tennis sucks
http://2008aussieopen.blogspot.com/2008/01/american-tennis-sucks.html
Australian Open 2008 - The Journey. Insight and opinions on the first tennis major of 2008. January 18, 2008. I'm sorry I had to say it. I guess I'm just pissed watching James Blake. Lose the first two sets to Sebastian Grosjean. Hey, I'm not saying I could fold James' jockstrap, that's not the point. The point is, well, American tennis sucks. Oops , there I go again. Thank god for the Williams sisters. Those girls are saving our bacon here in the states. Was ousted by # 29 seed Agnieszka Radwanska.

https://tennisfreak.wordpress.com/2009/05
About the Armchair Champion. Archive for May, 2009. Maria Sharapova returns and gets another free ride. I was going to simply continue on as one of the biggest fans of women’s professional tennis quietly, but since Maria is back, then so am I. I have never seen a tennis player get as many breaks as this one. Talk about the luck of the draw! She’s finally coming back on the tour and she picks the Warsaw Open. Good choice. It’s a clay court just prior to the French Open. French Open qualifying rounds.

About the Armchair Champion. Just Looking at the Numbers. I thought I’d try this on for size, just talk out what I see in the numbers. The ride through a tournament bracket is the tell for how they’ll do in the last few rounds. For instance:. Men’s Singles – Quarterfinals. Novak Djokovic (SRB)[6] vs. Igor Andreev (RUS). Carlos Moya (ESP)[23] vs. Rafael Nadal (ESP)[2]. Not me. But I’d say Nadal isn’t finished just yet. And in other events:. Women’s Doubles – Semifinals. Forget the numbers. It’s all ab...

About the Armchair Champion. Feder-bear’s Scare and The Nadal was on Djokovic. June 9, 2007 at 4:33 am. Rafael Nadal took out Novak Djokovic in three sets to reach the semifinals of the French Open. Over in doubles, the Slam Swammy was hushed once more, not giving credit to the pair of Alicia Molik and Mara Santangelo. Had I known they’d never partnered (bad boy, didn’t do research! I would have picked them for that reason alone. Again, this is the kind of crazy thing that the clay at Roland Garros.

About the Armchair Champion. Rafael Nadal and Justine Henin Wear Hats of Trickery. June 10, 2007 at 4:39 pm. Rafael Nadal just completed his hat trick of winning Roland Garros. For the third time in a row, beating Roger Federer in a match that played out almost exactly as last year, going to four sets. Congrats to Rafa! On the women’s side, it was Justine Henin trouncing Ana Ivanovic in the French Open. So, should I open the can of worms now and make myself look like a sore loser? 1 Comment Add your own.

Spring Forward to Soggy Second Week at The Championships | Armchair Tennis Pro

About the Armchair Champion. Spring Forward to Soggy Second Week at The Championships. July 3, 2007 at 2:58 pm. So sorry to have missed the opportunity to predict the opening rounds of Wimbledon. I assure you, my picks were far better than the French. But I’m American. And Americans always seem to do well on the grass courts. Just look at Venus Williams. I mean, “scary,” of course. To borrow from the great Stephen Colbert. That starts with the oh-so-incorrect statement:. Doesn’t court controversy? But Ju...

About the Armchair Champion. You’re Not Mother Theresa, and You’re Not in the Finals. June 8, 2007 at 4:08 am. Mother Theresa will not be in the women’s finals of this year’s French Open. A collective sigh of relief, please, that Maria Sharapova has been smacked down on the red clay. Guess she was too busy pretending to be a dead nun because we know she can’t do that and win a match, right? Oh what a sweet sound it was to hear that Ana Ivanovic won 6-2 6-1. Winner take all, including sponsorships. I’m su...
