So. I just posted a late post that I thought had already been posted but it turned out it hadn’t been posted but I didn’t realize it hadn’t been posted until I was here to write this post.
Okay then, enough forms of the word “post.”
I live in the inland of the Pacific Northwest and we […]
Boo - I had this written up a couple days ago and for some odd technical reason, it didn’t post. So here it is - a few days late. Mui bad-o.
Meghann Shaughnessy isn’t off to a half bad start in Australia at the Hopman Cup. She recorded a 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 victory over India’s Sania Mirza […]
I was one of those college students. I didn’t know what I wanted to major in so I just picked something. People kept telling me it didn’t matter what I majored in, as long as I got that piece of paper that said I wasn’t as stupid as I had been at the beginning of […]
They say it’s better late than never and the WTA Tour apparently agreed.
Evonne Goolagong Cawley was awarded the No. 1 spot in women’s tennis rankings 31 years after she was actually there. Due to lost paperwork in 1976, Goolagong Cawley (No. 2 at the time) was not recognized for her two-week span at No. 1 in […]
I spoke too soon. Serena Williams will not be opening play for the 2008 tennis season at the Hopman Cup in Australia. For what reason? None other than a lingering left knee injury.
We have become all too familiar with Serena and her continuous and various injuries.
Meghan Shaughnessy will play in Serena’s place in the opening […]
The new season is upon us. The distinction between one year of tennis and the next is so minimal it’s almost not even there.
The Hopman Cup in Australia is the first tournament of the new year and Serena Williams will be one of the first two players to hit a ball in 2008. The rest […]
Happy holidays to you and all of yours. I’m spending mine in the Bay area with family. I’m definitely used to a white Christmas so this whole 50 degrees and sunshine thing is throwing me off a bit but I’ll live. I’m not five years old anymore when Christmas is the culmination of the year, […]
The whole population of tennis followers knew Jelena Jankovic’s schedule was too ridiculously full. She wore herself out. I was wondering if Jankovic knew she was overbooked. Turns out she does.
“I’m going to cut back,” said the Serbian to Charles Bricker of the Sun-Sentinel in Florida.
Cut back indeed. Jankovic played 97 matches in 2007 and […]
Some days, I like to ask a lot of questions. It’s like I have reverted back to childhood, standing next to my father and asking, “But Daddy, why do the baby boy calves have their balls cut off?” (What can I say? I grew up on a ranch; I saw lots of things and asked […]
Just because tennis is my main squeeze doesn’t mean it’s everyone elses. Or AP’s for that matter.
Although Roger Federer and Justine Henin wrapped up the tennis season at No. 1, they both fell short in the AP Athlete of the Year race. Not a little short either. It wasn’t a photo finish one-point differential; especially […]
