double mint gum

Ok so I'm not a tennis expert or anything but for me, right not at least, the best thing to watch is the doubles. And more specifically, Serena and Venus just railroading other squads.

I like how the announcers talk about their matches. It's not a matter of them winning, it's a matter of how fast. The big concern for both of them is that they play singles on the other day so they want as much rest as possible.

I'm sure there is some sort of intricate total point system involved, but it's an absolute joke that they aren't the top seed. I mean they won 3 of the 4 Slams last year. Somehow that's only good enough for the 2 seed. Another common sense fail in sports rankings.

I just looked up Wikipedia on Wikipedia. I was worried that my laptop might start smoking but it seems ok so far.

It looks like we are getting the first good match of the day. Del Potro and Cilic are going at it in the 1st set. I'll never forget that awkward moment after Del Potro won the US Open where Dick Enberg was thrown off by his request to say something in Spanish to the crowd. It was incredible.

I'm never going to make it for Roddick's match. Seriously how do they do it in Australia? They stay up all night watching tennis and still go to work. That is a brutal schedule. Oh wait...
