Maybe I should be paying more attention...

Hmm. Yes.
While other tennis blogs and tour sites around the world may be focused on other events this week (like, ahem, the Madrid Masters for example?)...

...I will be on temporary lockdown and instead I will spend my days and nights just staring at this website for the next 11 or so days.

In other words, HECK YEAH! I'M EXCITED.
ROLAND GARROS ALL THE WAY.

Except I don't like the bit where they predict that the 2 Andys will suck this year. Well... they didn't exactly say that, but I'm sure that's what they meant.

But other than that, HECK YEAH!
ROLAND GARROS ALL THE WAY.

Helping out

So we should be rooting for Na Li this week. Apparently (according to Forty Deuce) she will be donating all her prize money from Madrid towards helping the victims of the Yushu earthquake, a 6.9 quake that struck China on April 14th.

Her donation will help Yushu earthquake victims where 2,200 people died, 70 are missing and were 12,135 injured. Aww what a great cause; good on you Li :D YOU'RE AWESOME... but yeah, I'm pretty sure that was already obvious.

News on Wimbledon 2010

Now, according to the Telegraph and New Balls, Please, Laura Robson and Jamie Murray have requested for a Wildcard into the Mixed Doubles' event of Wimbledon this year. There's nothing wrong with this, but... Jamie? Uh, L-Rob... maybe the wrong brother you got there?

Anywho, Anna Kournikova and Martina Hingis are also planning to play the veterans’/seniors’/legends’ doubles at Wimbledon this year...


No way.
BRING. IT. ON.

Munich Players' Party

For all the goss, see this. That is all.

The three musketeers

Heck I have no idea what is going on here.
But whatever it is... ... cool?

AJDE!

UN. FREAKIN'. BELIEVABLE.

What. a. beast.

Ana Ivanovic defeated Elena Dementieva. And I'm being serious. Straight sets. I'm so happy for her that I don't even care about the scoreline.

GOOO ANA!! I'm really starting to warm up to this girl... she seems to have had it tough after Roland Garros in '08 but hey, whaddaya know - after all that hurt and humiliation she's now beaten 2 back-to-back top 10 players!

First Vika, now Elena. I'm impressed - even if they weren't at their best.

Good for her. And even if this quality tennis is only temporary... I'm still gonna say;

AJDE!!

Once in a blue moon...

Oh thank the tennis gods.

Would you believe. Ana Ivanovic actually won a match. She actually WASN'T humiliated in this match. She wasn't broken once, and she beat someone 26 ranks above her. Probably one of the biggest wins of her season.

Well, congrats Ana! You know I wouldn't want to dream too far ahead but it would be pretty cool if she could knock out Vika in this tournament too [her next opponent] ... but hey, let's not get tooo ahead of ourselves eh. Love.
