Tennis Update: May 13, 2013

I don't even know if this kind of blog even matters anymore. But whatever. It's not really a hassle since I basically don't have anything else to do right now. Well Nadal has won Madrid for the fifth time! Guess his knees don't hurt anymore. Do you think he is going to win the French too? It would be amazing if he just came back and casually won a grand slam. Serena Williams won the women's title against Sharapova. She just refuses to lose to her. It's kind of amazing.


There was this interesting issue about a player theoretically "coming out" on tour. They asked players how they would feel about it. Federer, one of the players asked, said that it would be fine because they are "very relaxed" about these kinds of things. Andy Murray said he wouldn't have a problem with it either. But really. They wouldn't say they did even because it would be against their reputation. Seriously. It's not really a valid response to the question because it sounds a bit scripted and stuff. It would be more honest if it was a candid response. I'm not saying these players are lying, but do journalists really believe that what people say on record are completely according to their real opinions?

Tennis Update: May 9, 2013

So Grigor Dimitrov is all the craze now! He's deemed Baby Federer, and I agree. His strokes are exactly the same. From far away, you could confuse the two. The only thing that is slightly different is the footwork. Dimitrov's isn't as smooth and glide-y as Federer's, but other than that minor difference, they are very very similar. And he's also dating Maria Sharapova, just so you know. Now I know who I'll be rooting for after Federer retires! It's really super exciting. I hope he doesn't do anything dumb to his body and get injured though. Or do drugs like Richard Gasquet, the original Baby Federer.
I'm not in the mood to continue this right now. Whatever. 200 words psh. As if. I've been having the worst day, so a little slack would be cool. I work hard, I swear. I deserve this blogging grade because, honestly, no one does it on time. I at least remember to do it. Even if it gets done at midnight on the deadline. Also, my computer is running low on battery, so it will shut down soon. I don't care. At this point I want to go to bed and just end this day as quickly as possible. My dreams are happier than real life. Plus Youtube is pissing me off right now; the recommendations aren't showing up so I can't go on a video spree. OMG though. The Voice was so good last night. Or whenever, Tuesday night. Go Kris Thomas! lolollol

Tennis Updates: May 6, 2013

So it's been 40 years since WTA has served women's tennis. Wow that's not a long time haha. Anyway, I heard some juicy news today. Apparently Sloan Stevens has been talking about how Serena Williams is really bitter with her. Stevens says that Williams doesn't acknowledge her as they walk by each other since her victory over the higher ranked player recently. Stevens also says that Williams unfollowed her on Twitter and removed her from her Blackberry Messanger as soon as she lost that match to her. Really, that's kind of immature from Serena. Plus, right after their match (where Serena lost), Serena tweeted "I made you" and that was obviously targeted at Stevens. Stevens says that Serena was not part of her tennis process at all; she never spoke to her or watched her or helped her. This is probably true since they are from different sides of the US, Serena from Compton and Stevens from Plantation, Florida. Maybe she's jealous because Stevens is African-American just like her and she's supposed to be the only black person to play tennis? I don't know; Serena is just acting really childish right now. Really, she should be a role model, but right now she's acting like really stupid. But you know, all this could just be lies. You never know with news nowadays. Everything is blown out of proportion. I really hope they get along, or at least move on and not be so tense with each other.

Tennis Quotes: May 5, 2013

I'm in an angry mood right now, I feel like John McEnroe. His quotes just have the essence of my feelings right now.

Princess Diana, she used to come watch the tennis [at Wimbledon]. And even though she had it 1,000 times worse than I ever did, she pulled me aside a few times and said, 'I really feel for you.'

Now I get docked 10 to 20 per cent (of my appearance fee) if I don't yell at some people and break at least one racquet.

You'll be sorry you hit me, you fucking Communist asshole.

Over 1,000 officials to choose from and I get a moron like you.

This taught me a lesson, but I'm not quite sure what it is.

Do you have any problems, other than that you're unemployed, a moron, and a dork?

Everybody loves success, but they hate successful people

Eye dee kay. It's kind of just like I'm too lazy to write anything right now because it's late and I just have this sense of responsibility, like I HAVE TO WRITE THIS BLOG BECAUSE I JUST DO. I'm not whining, I'm just complaining like a bitch about writing this. 

Oh and that is me right there ^^^^^^^^

that's me too^^

 last week^^^^^^

Me after AP exams^^^^

Wow I know the quality of this blog is just like through the basement and things, but I'm going to have to go because the more tired I get, the more sarcastic I'll start sounding and I'll just end up sounding like a total butt. 

Update: May 1, 2013

Rafa Nadal is in the Barcelona finals. Yay for him! He's definitely going to win probably. He wins 60% of the time every time. And also Gilles Simon has a new coach. He's actually one of the players I like to watch because he's a good mover and he also is good at shotmaking. It's a shame he's in an era where there are soo many good players because I doubt he'll ever get to win a grandslam. It's sad isn't it? He's like one of the many French dudes that are like good but not good enough to dominate like Federer, Nadal and Djokovic.
Speaking of Federer, he's like not renewing his contract with Basel for his appearance fee because he probably doesn't want to play so much. And Basel is getting pissed because they want him to show up all the time to raise the ticket fees and sales. Tennis is such a business sometimes, it's not fair for the players and the people who love to watch it.

Tennis Update: April 28th, 2013. Not really a tennis update. But it counts.

I MISSED A POST, SO I'M GOING TO ANSWER A DISCUSSION QUESTION. AND IT'S 11:45 ON SUNDAY NIGHT SO THIS STILL COUNTS FOR THIS WEEK!!!!!

So yea, tennis. That's what I was supposed to talk about...anyway...I just played a tournament. And it was rainy and stuff and I was really happy because I didn't have to think about school and all that shitty fuckery that is happening there. I really hate it right now. Like I just want to not go to school and just whatever. Like, I've been stressed before but this is just stupid. I'm like straddling the line between being burnt out and going insane. Like, who suddenly gets up from bed and starts blogging just to get a grade? Like, why are grades so important to me? I don't even know. Grades are just a number, literally just numbers. Who gives 2 shits? I shouldn't, but I do. I'm totally being a robot and I don't even know it. Tennis was just so great though. I got to actually talk to people instead of staring at my screen all day. And I got to do something that I really liked and wanted to do. School is seriously really terrible. I hate it so much. It's so miserable being a junior. Honestly. I am the face of misery. I want to fall asleep everyday at school. Some of the lessons I have to sit through are painful. I don't even do homework during my free periods anymore because I use them to relax and let my mind have a break. If I didn't have study halls, I would be dead meat. Ohh I better hurry and publish this before 12, if not it won't count. Ok yay. Blog. Done.

Tennis Update: April 22, 2013

Soo yesterday Djokovic ended Nadal's reign at Monte Carlo yesterday in a 2 set match 6-2 7-6. Novak actually thanked Rafa for "letting" him win. That's nice of him. Aw. Cute. They both seem happy though. Nadal had been the winner the last eight times. The points were a lot closer than the score indicated. Rafa had to save 5 set points in the first set just to avoid a 6-0 loss. Anyway, Novak is like super destroying everyone. It's not even fair anymore. I'm pretty sure he's going to win Roland Garros if he just keeps playing like that. His belief is unbelievable. I don't even think he is capable of losing anymore. Do any of you think that Nadal can beat Novak on clay this year? Will his body be strong enough to battle his knee issues? I don't know. It's a question that he'll have to answer. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
