2008 Olympics: Mostly Rained Out, James Blake Advances, Ana Ivanovic Pulls Out (uh huh huh…)
August 10, 2008
"Then one foggy Christmas Day, Santa came to say...Liu Chen, with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight..." "Hey Liu Chen, shut up and keep mopping, son!"
Seems like the rain delays from the Wimbledon men’s final followed the players to Beijing. However, among some of the play that made it’s way through was top American player James Blake’s defeat of Australia’s Chris Guccione 6-3, 7-6 (3).
"Why am I withdrawing?.. Uh... Hands! Yes, my hands hurt. No, you can't see them."
The other big news is that soon to be world number two and 2008 French Open Champ Ana Ivanovic withdraws from the tournament due to some hand injury? As one of the true breakout players of the 2008 season, this was a pretty big blow to the tournament but a great opportunity for all the other players who don’t have as much wuss in them. Dude, how do you quit the Olympics after you walk with your country and NOT even having stepped onto the court? I don’t care how hot you are, that shit is lame. So much for her so called superpowers. More like superweak.
Obviously all the tennis world is mainly focused on Federer and Nadal. They are scheduled to take the courts sometime in the next 12 hours. By the way, kudos to NBC for providing all this on your demand on their new Olympics video systems using Microsoft Silverlight. Excellent quality so far.

New WTA Promo Commercial: Ana Ivanovic as a Superhero?
August 5, 2008done
WTA Players: Collect Them All!
"Yes, I'm a hot chick. Who's calling please?"
"What am I wearing right now? I don't think that's an appropriate question to ask me, dad."
"Ha ha, no I don't have balls."
"What am I wearing right now? That's a very inappropriate question to ask me, Maria Sharpova's dad."
"Don't be so sensitive Svetlana, people ask me all the time if you have balls and it never bothers me. Hello? H-hello?"
"Bitch, I'm coming to beat down your ass!"
Okay, so I was feeling a little goofy today. There’s nothing too exciting on the match front anyhow.

2008 French Open (Roland Garros): Ana Ivanovic Wins First Grand Slam Title
June 7, 2008
Ana Ivanovic defeats Dinara Safina: 6-4, 6-3 to win her first Grand Slam Title in Paris
Third time was certainly the charm for Serbian beauty (and new World’s Number One) Ana Ivanovic. She previously fell short in the 2007 French Open final and the 2008 Australian Open final. This was a different Ivanovic.
Also, unlike a year ago where nerves seemed to overwhelm, Ivanovic displayed equal parts of cool and top quality play to quell any sophomore French final jitters. Bravo.
Unfortunately the same could not be said for Dinara. The younger sister of Marat Safin, Dinara often showed very similar characteristics to her older brother’s (in)famous fiery temper passion when frustrated. But this did not seem to affect Ivanovic in any way.
As a kid, when I used to go by bike to the practice, I used to dream of this.
- Ana Ivanovic
The title was awarded to Ivanovic by seven time grand slam champion and recent retiree Justine Henin. Perhaps a passing of the torch?
