Out goes The Jacket, in comes...

...The Cardigan.

Clean, classic, and "old school"-ish.

I like. :-)

Pain is only temporary...

...VICTORY is forever!

Perhaps the shirt was a gift from Rafa to apologize for giving Roger so much pain during the clay season. Ha.

The Shoe: part deux

Nice 'n classic RF detailing as usual.

L&G, I hereby present: The Shoe

I want that "5" to be a "6" next year. :-)

Someone looks happy to be back on grass

A little wider and your fangs'll fall off, Rog.

A-Rod's Artois Interview

He's such a joke-cracker :-D The lady interviewer can't seem to stop laughing. Love how he sorta-kinda defends Roger (at 2.40-ish). Then quips on Murray's book release, hahaha.

Out with the clay, in with the...

...GRASS! Such lovely green, lawn-y, fluffy, tackle-friendly grass. *loves it*


Halle 08 (Federer vs. Berrer) - Part 2
by Luckameli

Congratz FedEx for his 55th consecutive win on grass! (Now already 56th as he's also beaten Vacek yesterday).

Watch for the yummy-strawberry moment towards the end. He's such a pleasant guy. All smiles.

P.S. First time I'm hearing Fed interviewed in German (or is this Swiss-German)? I think it's his mother-tongue, he seems so at ease speaking it. Man, the guy speaks 4 languages: English, French, German, Swiss-German... wonder what else he can do? Ski? Play golf?


Edit: Interesting article + discussion on Fed's grass comeback

(someone elses) fantasy come true.. but i don't mind

This is my ex-colleague's blog.

He actually got to watch Nadal & Ivanovic LIVE at Roland Garros last week... In front-row box seats. For FREE. (Well, actually courtesy of Lacoste, the brand he's handling and a major sponsor for RG.)

How cool is that? :-)))

P.S. he even claimed to have smelt Rafa's undies saking deketnya dia duduk.. :-G

Ray-fa Hutapea-dal, Feliz Cumpleanos!

Ray,

Rafa Nadal is here to wish you "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"... he even brought a big cake:

God bless you! Keep doing your best and let God keep doing the rest :-}

P.S. Kalo Rafa lahir sebagai orang batak, mungkin namanya Rafael Nadapdap ya...

New day, new mood, new music

I kinda like Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson. Melodious rock!

Here ya go.

In celebration of Ana's first Slam Title...

...Scott Byrnes (strength and conditioning coach), Sven Groeneveld (tennis advisor) and Marcin Rozpedski (hitting partner) all promised that they would do something outrageous if Ana won the tournament.

Ana's brother Milos joined in, and so the four gave their word that if Ana won the event, they would run around the Arc de Triomphe while each wearing one of Ana's adidas dresses.







Hahahahahaha....

Rafa's press conference

"I feel like... No. 2... because I am No. 2...."

Rafa, you're just so... squishy! :-)

*squishes him*

Paris ended with "love"...

Finale: Simple Messieurs

R. Nadal def. R. Federer 6-1 6-3 6-0 (i.e. a full-blown beatdown)

[Roland Garros Post-Mortem]

"I wish I had one of those..."

In any case, Roger couldn't have lost (thrice) to a better opponent. Rafa is now only the third man in the history of the open era to have won four consecutive RG titles. That itself deserves a standing ovation. Vamos Rafa.

"Marquer L'histoire!"

Now, onwards to Wimbledon...
