If you aren't loving this you can't say you love sports. A great sport, a great athlete, a great experience. Everyone knows how I feel towards the ladie(s) in tennis, but this is something special. Please watch and enjoy it, Andre is great and this US Open run, it's f'n awesome.

He barely put away a guy who couldn't even stand up. An aweXome match, but I'm afraid his run is coming to an end sooner rather than later. Hope I'm wrong.

I have not seen much of the US Open, but I do believe I will make a few clicker stops over the weekend. Well, thats if they play. We have gorilla-monsoonish conditions up ahead.

Oh I thought he was done, but this is just a great ride. And my thinking is he got passed Baghdatis he could go on a run. He'll beat Roddick, he'll have a tough match with Blake if he gets by, Federer I think is the only one.
Oh and how great did Sharapova look? Oh she played good tennis too.

I agree with Domi on this one. Agassi's mistakes, especially faulting on his first serves repeatedly in the fifth against a guy who could barely walk will come back to haunt him the longer this tournament goes.

That assbag was faking it, and anyone who doesn't know that doesn't know tennis. He cramps in the middle of points, but during a rally can run around fine. McEnroe said it's not every day you see a guy get rid of cramps in 5 minutes. I don't think he's the strongest in the draw, nor the lock in favorite, but the guy showed a lot of heart and if I'm not mistaken that's all Connors was running on. It will be tough but I think untill the quaters or semis he won't have a tough match like he had with Baghdatis. But he was without a dount faking an injury.

Looks like today will be a washout. Hopefully they can get some matches in today and I don't have to wait till tomorrow to see Maria.

The dream is over for Andre. Very good fight, great tennis. But he can barely fucking move. Sad day in tennis.

Tomorrow night, prime time, Arthur Ashe Stadium, Womens semis seeing Mareusmo against my wife Maria. My girl is 0-3 against her so I will be nervous as all hell and downing Heinekens not too long after, win or lose.

My suga-mama Maria Sharapova is on to the finals, second time to a fiinals, last time she was in a title match, she won Wimby 04. She told me persoanly her kiss to the camera was to me, and also I've been assured should she win, I get to fuck Grand Slam pussy.
C'mom Maria, and your $25 mil/yr twat. Your sugar daddy loves ya. Let's win tomorrow night.
Please root for Mr. and Mrs. cactus James. Your support and prayers are greatly appreciated.
143, Cactus James

It's funny though how Maria is getting ripped here and there in the papers over how she's apparently dumb as a brick, with lines like "how stupid must you be when you don't even know when to eat a banana until your dad or coach tells you to". But congrats nonetheless on a job well done in securing her second majour.
As for the Men's Final, I see Roddick giving Federer a run for his money, but the latter is too talented to let this one get away. Federer wins in four sets. Jw

I agree with Roddick and Federer, though I'd be happier if Roddick one just for the fact it makes bondy look like an asshole. But I to,d him that in the email i sent him.
I'm really sick of everyione bashing Maria. I mean before it was Kournakova references and then for awhile it was can she win another. She does and all people talk about are nike commercials and fucking bananas. She won a fucking grand slam but leave it to new yorkers to get caught up in the bright lights and a pretty face and not able to give someone props she rightfully deserves. I mean is she supposed to not make money off the court as so many other celebs do? She's supposed to just play tennis and if she wins she wins. Bottom line is, anyone who is a fan of hers or anyone close to her knows tennis is the be all end all for her. but self appointed judges have to concemn her for being marketable. Bondy said besides Williams the only woman recognizable in the draw was Maria, the entire draw. No one knows Martina Hingis or Lindsey Davenport. The number 1 and 2 ranked women in the world, no one knows their names. Anything to cheapen the victory Maria has earned with hardwork and constand training. Fuck the haters, and fuck Filip Bondy.
As for last nigt, we had a great time last night after she won. Partied and celebrated the night away. But I'd like to point out, I did not sleep with that young tennis player. As a matter of fact, we were up...all...night.

It's been awhile since i've posted here and with the recent victory in the 3rd round in Miami over Venus, Maria looks to take care of the next Williams sister facing Serena today. A tough start of the year for Maria, almost loses first round of the Aussie, makes it to the finals betting Muresmo and Clijsters then loses easy. Then a leg injury helped her get dished out in the early rounds of Indian Wells. Hopefully the problems are behind her and she can regain the number 1 spot if she wins the whole thing or at least stays till the later rounds. The match starts at 1 on ESPN 2, for once girls baksetball isn't screwing me over.

And I jinxed Maria. she's on her way to lose to Serena as I am typingthis, 6 1, 6 1. I hate the Williams sisters, but I know they're at least decent, but how does Maria have trouble beating Serena. You would think if anyone could match power with any of th Williams it's Maria. ESPN needs to have an all tennis channel.

I don't know if Directtv carries it. I'll have to call and see, but seeing as I got the baseball package I'm probably going to have to hold off on getting the tennis channel for now, but thanks man.

Rainy today in the France so no matches have started but Mrs. Cactus, Maria Sharapova will be playing her match tomorrow if it still isn't shitty there. She doesn't likie clay and has been battling injuries, but has played consistently good there so we shall see. Also, this will be the first grand slam where Clijsters isn't looming since she retiered a few weeks ago at the over the hill age of 24. Injuries to either her wrist, knee both,m who the fuck know,s but she was nasty on clay but the Williams sisters are on there as well as hometown fave Meauresmo(sp?).
As for the men, anyone not expecting to see Nadal and Federer in the later rounds? Should be a good two weeks of tennis as clay is one of the weirder surfaces.

I'm a big Jelena Dokic fan. Just so you guys know. Guessing she is not on hand. Seriously, I would watch more tennis if there were not too many other things I am backed up on watching. Today, for example, is racing day.

Good pick on Dokic, she's however not on the draw. And from what I saw only a handful of matches have been played or postponed, so not missing much. Turns out I do have the tennis channel and never knew it, they have a channel for every court. But like I said, no use today.

Americans suck on clay, you're bound to see most if not all the usa guys get upset by some ham'n'egger. They can't move on clay, they alwaysd blow it. But it's only a set, he coul fix it.

You were saying?
I dunno if you were watching, but at 3-3 in the 2nd he had treble break point, and then lost it. The match was over after that. I'll eat my hat if he pulls this out.

I said could, I kinda knew he wouldn't beat him, he played really bad at times, like you mentioned. I think Robby Ginepri is the only American left, maybe one more, b ut ESPN started replaying Roddick and cause of that the tennis channel wasn't showing shit, so I havn't seen much besides of peices of blakes match, roddick and parts of others. The weather pushed back Maria and I'm not fucking happy at all.

They suck, they play a match I saw from a few hours before and pre empt everything else. And cause of that the tennis channel wasn't showing it. Complete malarky. As long as Mrs. Cactus wins tomorrow and I get to see it live.
