| Lauren: This is about the JJ fashion thread, but I am determined to find a pic where Ana doesn't look like crap because they do exist! Here is one where she looks like she is trying less hard, and she looks pretty cute, right? [link] |
| Lauren: And here...not terrible! [link] |
| Lauren: And this was one of my faves! [link] The girl doesn't always make bad fashion choices, but she does have a way of looking like a tired young housewife when out on the course with AScott! |
| Lauren: Sorry about these, but I don't want to sign in... |
| mina: anyone anything on the Nole engagement rumor? |
| amsuba: what?? novak is engagement?? omg!! i'm going to cry!! :( |
| HRB: Lauren you are right, I try and keep my commentson this page more actaul tennis focused, but I looked at your links to AI photos and was fianlly happy to see a plain, simple, look. A black tank top and some hot ass jeans...keep it simple stupid and stay what you are...young and hot! screw looking like a conservative freakin' golf hag! |
| HRB: My bad...too many "typos" in previous post, I usually like to keep them "clean". |
| Lauren: Haha HRB - I don't think her look was conservative freakin' golf hag! If she wanted that, she would've thrown on some khaki pants, a button-down, and an argyle sweater! Her look says, "I'm tired, I feel like crap, and I made a fool of myself this season. Let me go hide in a corner and cry..." BUT, I love her! |
| unicaja: It seems Djokovic is really leaving Adidas. PWP has the adidas 2010 line in pre-order and there are pictures of Verdasco wearing Novak's line and the CC Genius. [link] |
| unicaja: I hope he doesn't go to K-Swiss though.. it will always remind me of Mardy Fish. :S |
| Curtis: That last pic of Ana, at the Airport in the black tank top is very HOT! |
| Lauren: Nole is leaving adidas? Why? Maybe he is going to Nike, land of creative freedom and individuality...and branding. |
| Lauren: Yep, Curtis, my fave of Ana, too...I thought it was pretty stylish for her! |
| meretricula: if they were going to make Nole wear those monstrosities Fer is modeling, I'd say he got out just in time. JFC. |
| Jills: Those outfits are just atrocious. Adidas has lost it's collective mind. Marat got out just in time too. |
| lauren (not Lauren): For the record, there are two Laurens here. Lauren in the chat box is not the same as lauren on the blog. |
| Clau: Group A: Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Juan Martin del Potro, Fernando Verdasco%AGroup B: Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Nikolay Davydenko, Robin Soderling |
| mina: effing draw. no way he's making it out of that group with a 3-0. argh!!! |
| ava: I think he'd be lucky to prevent himself from staying in the bottom position. I'm scared. Vamos Rafa anyway! |
| Tennis Observer: Tsonga should be there! I boycott the WTF! |
| ava: LOL aren't you over it? |
| Tennis Observer: No serve 'n' volleyer there! FUCK the WTF! |
| ava: Nole's gonna take it. He's playing much better than anyone else now |
| babypanda: On the risk to get some crap from his fans here,I need to say that Verdasco has no business there in LDN. With 2 or 3 titles from Mickey Mouse tournaments in his entire career and one GS SF,he's oh so suddenly in the group of players like Fed,Rafa,Nole,Elf and Andy.Well,yes,WTF indeed. |
| ava: i dont know if anyone can disagree with you there. but it is what it is. as a fan im excited for fer and hopes he makes the best of it. maybe he could make a ferrer-like run...anything's possible. VAMOS FER! |
| Jills: Uh, bp, of course he's not the caliber of the top 4 or 5. They're in a class of their own. But they can't just play with 5 guys. |
| Jills: The last few guys who made it, whether it was going to be Marin, Sod, Monfils, Nando or whoever, were obviously going to be way less qualified. It's just the nature of the situation. |
| Tennis Observer: Maybe I will pause the boycott for the Söderling Nadal match! Mwuahahaha! *evil laughter* |
| Clau: It's payback time. Rafa will kick his ass. Vamos Rafa! |
| babypanda: Hardly.Nole or Fed will take it all. |
| MB.: It's WTF, anything can happen, but you might be unwise to bet on anyone but Nole on this one. |
| Curtis: Nole is going to win this because he is simply the best player right now. The onl thing that would concern me is if he is worn out, but I still like his chances. |
| MB.: Nole is the best going in, but WTF is always a shit show, and the favorite never really wins (or does that well). Hopefully he will, but for all I know Davy will keep surprising us or DelPo will actually step up and start playing well. |
| ava: There is no way in hell Fed's winning this. I think he's emotionally switched off until AO. And that's the way to go at his age and position. |
| FortuneCookie: Agreed.I think he'd *like* to win,but not sure he has the total fire and willpower required for an event that ultimately isn't a slam |
| dearg: We woz robbed!! [link] |
| dearg: From the Hand of God (aka Maradona) to the Hand of a Frog… |
| penny: Fed will beat Murray for sure. It's payback. |
| ava: Um, you saw the Fed that lost to Nole and Julian, right? |
| ava: Muzz is pretty good on HCs and since it is not a slam it would be pretty naive to ask of Fed to beat Muzz, who will be charged in front of the homecrowd |
| ava: I guess we all have our wishes.... |
| westney: Haha MB., "WTF is always a shit show." Good one...so true. |
| MB.: Yeah, I guess it'll be the perfect event to round out a shit-tastic year, for men and women both. |
| HRB: A "shitastic year" MB...hmmn I guess you like "status quo"? I prefer upsets and drama...Rafa wins on a hard court over Crybaby...upset in Roland Garros validates the Fed getting the GOAT title...Serena shows she's a monster winner and scary just a scary monster in the same year...a mother comes out of retirement to rock the big apple...the ELF stuns the GOAT in the NYC...the WTA finals belong to Belgians, Danes, Belurussians, French, and more...and a certain 17 year old girl from Georgia makes us all "beliieve"! I supposed you'd prefer the days of Fed winning it all and the williams sister swapping slams...BORING! |
| MB.: No, I meant 'shitastic' in the best way possible, and I do like it better like this than Rafa/Fed just winning every Slam and the rankings being unchanged. The WTA made me a bit upset, but I think that's because my favorites had bad years (JJ, Ana, Ula Rad, etc). So, yes, I basically agree with you, but I kinda hate Melanie, hah. |
| ava: I'm with you. I kinda hate Melanie too. |
| Tennis Observer: Kinda? Don't be shy, hate her and be proud of it! |
| babypanda: Steve Tignor predicted Nole to win WTF. You did it on purpose,don't you Steve? We all know that you don't like him,no? |
| ava: O.K., I hate Melanie Oudin and proud of it? |
| Clau: How do you know that Tignor is a jinxer? |
| babypanda: Clau,trust me,Tignor is the GOAT jinxer.:) |
| ava: No way any jinx is gonna stop Nole from winning this shit. It's as clear as crystal. |
| ava: He's the best player atm. |
| ava: I'm worried about Rafa though, I hope it's not 3-0. |
| Clau: [link] |
| penny: I hope Nole makes this a repeat. |
| chetes: Roger Federer in 2006- "Press conferences sometimes are tough to do on a daily basis because you feel you're talking about -- you know, to a psychiatrist or something, you know, coming in. And then you come out and you say, I can't believe I just said that." lol |
| HRB: Sorry MB, I wasn't down with "shitastic" as a term of endearment...hilarious! I was fine with Melanie until she knocked out Masha.in NY..then things got ugly..LITERALLY! |
| MB.: PS Pretty Irrelevant article, but I thought all the AnaKADs out here would enjoy it; [link] |
| Curtis: I want what ever that author is drinking. I wish I could share the optimism. I do think Ana can be back in the top 10 this year "if" she finds something close to her 2008 RG form. But #1? Unfortunately no. |
| Curtis: For those who haven't seen, Ana's will be wearing a yellow outfit at AO and orange at RG. Via gaviotabr at tennisforum: [link] Futures |
| mina: sorry Sony, but by signing Woz you're going the Ikea way. not getting any bidness fr me... |
| MB.: The dress looks nice...nothing amazing, but good enough. I like the orange/red one better. |
| unicaja: Djokovic is the new face of Sergio Tacchini according to Jon Wheirtem |
| FortuneCookie: So that's Nole and Flavia with them?Actually,that's quite a badass duo! |
| JAS: Please tell me Ana will NOT be wearing those fugly dresses...they are ugly as hell, or should I say hugly ;)%A |
| Curtis: I like them. I think they are better than her 2009 AO and RG uniboob mess. And it's refreshing to see a change in colors from Ana instead of the normal, purple, blue or white that she wears a lot. Maybe not the greatest looking dresses, but I say an improvement over what she wore early on this year. |
| JAS: Yeah, the first one looks like bumblebee colored drapes. |
| Curtis: They could of have done without the black trimming, but yellow I think will look nice on her. |
| gwn: Ah, whatever... Wimby and USO dresses were simply gorgeous but we didn’t see much of them. (sigh) I just want her to start winning, whatever she wears. |
| unicaja: I agree. Ana can wear a potato sack.. as long as she goes back to showcasing beautiful tennis and getting wins and titles, then I'm happy. |
| Curtis: I agree with that. Just win Baby! (E) |
| Lauren: Ana? In yellow? With her skin tone? I don't know if I'm totally sold. And, why does her RG dress match the color of the courts? I DO like that there is no more weird folding around the chest area - that wasn't ever flattering. Smooth and fitted is the way to go! |
| Lauren: Nevermind. I just saw a teensy weensy picture of Ana in her yellow dress, and it looks a heck of a lot better than many of her dresses of years past! |
| Lauren: Another thing. I vote Melanie Oudin gets Ralph Lauren to sponsor, being that she is an American. She would look so classy tennis chic - like Morgan Pressel in golf! |
| leesha: Aww look at the Sod so happy clearly a much misunderstood young man bless. |
| ava: no he's lucifer ;) |
| ava: i like sod just fine. not crazy about him but he seems ok |
| Jills: I like Robin Bo Carl a lot. The pic he posted on Twitter was so cute:) |
