Poor Andy. :( He probably could've done with the win right now. Still, at least it wasn't straight sets and I like Tommy enough to be happy that he won and that he gets to play Mardy next round. Just would've been nice to see Andy get that little bit extra good karma going his way this week. Now I wish we got to see Tommy vs Mardy because, cute.

Also? kindoftrouble and lossi were being mean to Roger last night. *sadness* I know he tries too hard sometimes and it's frustrating that he pays more attention to his money than to his tennis and bizarre that he's utterly, totally obsessive about Prada but I love him down to his little Prada socks and I'd much rather have a #1 who tries too hard to be nice than one who doesn't try at all, or who's an asshole or who runs over fluffy bunnies in his Porshe for fun. Andy can be as exhausting as a two year old and Marat kept on playing on his bad knee ad infinitum and everyone else on tour will, at some point, do something stupid or say something 'wrong' or be a jerk. So Roger knows he is that good, big deal. Maybe he knows it because he is that good and if he went around saying "No honestly, I just have a lot of good days and some fluke shots, I'm no better than anyone," someone would've punched him for the sheer, pointless humbleness by now. Probably me. He's never rude, he's makes an effort to be nice to everyone and their extended family even if it comes across as a little fake sometimes, which frankly says more because it means he's making the effort even when he *doesn't* want to, and I love that him being so far ahead is making some of the tour do backflips to catch up. It's making tennis better as a sport, and he gets cookies for that.

And I'll still be happy if he wins Wimbledon this year, even if he beats Andy to do it. Of course I may not make it out of Tennis Party with kindoftrouble and lossi *alive* to tell you that I'm happy about it but I would be.

That...that just kind of turned into a rant. Um. Oops.

No comment on Murray sacking his coach. Other than the Times suggested Brad Gilbert as a replacement and Murray don't even think about it. You're enough of a nutter right now.

Teenagers. I miss being one.

edity: The Times just redeemed itself in ****ing awesome style.
