*giggles* Just when you think tennis players aren't crazy...

Getty's caption? "MELBOURNE, Australia: Top seed Roger Federer of Switzerland stops play to try and catch an insect along the baseline during his men's singles quarter-final match against eighth seed Andre Agassi of the US at the 2005 Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne, 25 January 2005. "

I think I'm in love. ^_^

*giggles* I wish I'd seen it. *pets cute and crazy little Roger*

Actually they often have moth problems at the Australian Open.....I've seen it happen many a time.....

(You really never sleep do you? That's amazing. *giggles*)

Really? Wow. Bet not every player stops to try and catch them though. ;) *giggles at the idea of Roger chasing a moth* I love his crazee. *hugs him*

(its ho-ot. Can't sleep in the he-eat)

Actually a lot do. Or they get the ball kids to go chasing after them. Tis cute!

(Ahh!! *is freezing over here so she never considered that*)

Aaaawww!!! :D *melts into a puddle at the cuteness* I love Australians. I can just see the expressions of horror on the faces of Wimbledon officials if someone, especially one of the top seeds, paused in the middle of a match to chase a butterfly across the court. The Queen might actually faint with shock at the impropriety. ;)

Well Impropriety is every Australian's middle name....and I really need to go to bed as its 3:13am Urgh..........

*grins* That quote has been added to the list of 'Australian related quotes' I'm giving my flatmate. ;) And bed at 3:13am! No stamina, tut tut... ;) I mean it's not like it's *late* or anything... *coughs innocently*

[australian-imp.livejournal.com]

You're quoting me? Oh dear.......

Its late for me! *whimpers* *yawns* These I go to bed at about 11:30, maybe midnight......I like my sleep!

[clo.livejournal.com]

*grins* I am indeed. :)

Well I can't talk - it's 1:38am here and I'm heading bedwards. :) I dream of getting to bed before midnight. *sighs* Sleep is wonderful.

[australian-imp.livejournal.com]

It is wonderful.

Didn't he...

[liroa15.livejournal.com]

do something similar at the Houston Masters with a grasshopper? And he couldn't catch that either. *pets Roger* Poor Roger, best tennis player in the world, and he can't catch a few bugs.

Re: Didn't he...

... Now you mention it, I think he did. *tries to remember* I'm sure I was hugely amused about that too. Wow. When he gives up tennis I don't think he has a successful career in bug-catching waiting for him. ^__^

I love that he tries though bless him. Andy should *really* make fun of him for it at some point. *giggles*

Re: Didn't he...

[liroa15.livejournal.com]

Definitely not. And Andy should make fun of him for it. Maybe they could have a bet or something ... *goes off to dream up extremely convoluted bets*

Re: Didn't he...

[clo.livejournal.com]

*giggles* YAY FOR BETS!

Andy: "Last one to get that grasshopper has to streak naked across Wimbledon's Centre Court! *pounces* YAY! I win!"
Roger: *sulks* S'not fair.

Re: Didn't he...

[liroa15.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I don't know what to say. *dies laughing*

Re: Didn't he...

[clo.livejournal.com]

*grins* It could happen. Maybe. ;)

Re: Didn't he...

[liroa15.livejournal.com]

But it would probably turn out that Roger is hiding some amazing bug catching ability ... hiding very, very well indeed. :)
