Eh, someone tell me what to blog about.
After rambling and ranting on and on about french open, I realize I have nothing else to say. Whooops. Nevermind, wimbledon in 5 days, so I'll have stuff to say again then. XD
Yesterday I saw the newspaper article on spanish premiera liga (or however it's spelt), about the finals between real madrid and real mallorca. Don't worry, I'm not turning into a football fan, I was only drawn to the article cos it had a picture of Rafa watching the match. XD He's a football fan, see, and he supports real madrid (which won eventually btw). The first thing I thought was "OMG!!!" *squeals*. The next thing I thought was "What the heck is he still doing in Spain, like shouldn't he be in UK
practicing?!?" I suppose he just returned from the Artois championships in UK, but shouldn't he stay there to train? I mean, five days to Wimbledon!
Ok nevermind. I've been watching the old Wimbledon library films! The 70s was HILARIOUS. The guys wear these super short and tight shorts, and their shirts are
completely tucked in. Then there're the super-high socks. I was laughing non-stop throughout the film, until my father informed me that he used to dress like that too when playing tennis, as modelled after his idol Jimmy Connors. Now that's a real first-class nerd. The only one I can tolerate from the old times is John McEnroe, cos he was pretty cool. At least his shirt wasn't tucked in. >.< For the ladies, I like Chris Evert, cos she was cool too. Ankle socks, would you believe it? And her outfit's real nice too. Apparently she and Jimmy Connors used to be the golden couple of tennis at that time. Both of them won Wimbledon the same year, and according to my dad, Wimbledon has this tradition of male champion dancing with female champion at the celebration dinner or something. It got me thinking about Roger Federer having to dance with both Venus and Serena Williams when they won together, and I couldn't stop laughing after that. :D Then I wondered if they had that tradition too at french open, and I tried imagining Rafa dancing with Justine Henin. Three times too, cos they're both triple defending champions. It was damn funny, cos Henin is much shorter than Rafa, and looks much older too. But I like Henin, she's my favorite female player. She's really serious about the game and focuses on it like anything (unlike a certain Maria Sharapova). When she prepares to receive, she looks like a tigress getting ready to pounce on her prey.
19 year old Fedex reminds me of Will Turner. XD What with the ponytail, headband and beaded necklace. First-class pirate. I became slightly more partial towards him after seeing him when he was six years younger.
Whoops, did I just say that I had nothing to say? XD
