No. If you had said Rod Laver and Margaret Court, then Yes.

Maybe I should email my grandfather to check on them both coz never heard of them.

I haven't watched tehni since the days of Marat Safin.

Wonder if anyone stiLL remembered that great US Open finaL bet MichaeL Chang & Ivan LendL ?..when the injured
MichaeL purposedLy served his baLLs high up into thin airs, and Limping towards the net each time.
LendL was perpLexed by it aLL, and for some reasons Lost that finaL.

Oh Dear! Serena just won the first set.....................................

Come on Petra!!!!

 

[jw5]

Serena just defeated defending champion Petra Kvitova in the QF. :(

She may be facing Victoria Azarenka in the next round, if she gets through her QF.

Looks like the matches on the non-covered courts have been rained delayed.

Women's QF Matchups:

1. (6) Serena Williams (USA) v (4) Petra Kvitova (Cze)
2. (3) Agnieszka Radwanska (Pol) v (17) Maria Kirilenko (Rus)
3. (15) Sabine Lisicki (Ger) v (8) Angelique Kerber (Ger)
4. Tamira Paszek (Aut) v (2) Victoria Azarenka (Blr)

First 2 matches now live on espnstar sports. Come on Petra!!!!

Serena is through to the SF.
Matches 2 and 3 are now live.
Angelique is leading Sabine 1 set to zero. Sabine playing quite erratic. Just called for medical timeout.
Come on Sabine!!!

Bro, I prefer womens' tennis than men's, watching it on espnstar sports in the evening.
Not only is Vijay charming, he is such a personable character too, with bags of knowledge on anything tennis.
One of my favourite sports commentators ever.
Even when there was a rain break and he was talking about rain breaks, he managed to make it so interesting.

You are the only one with such a high opinion of Vijay. Most tennis fans, at least those in S'pore feel that way about him too. Vijay is one cool dude.

Sorry, jw5 bro. Typo error. I meant to say that you are NOT the only one with such a high opinion of Vijay. Thanks

yes i read that...she alleges that they lost all of her money through poor investments.....ala bjorn borg.

noted with tks.
AS Vicario was in the news recently. Sueing her family for mishandling her money......................

 

[erection2015]

anna kournikova was another looker.

How about this chiorest bus of aLL ? :

Ivana ivanovic, she oozes of so much feminism..

 

[erection2015]

around my age....so still young

[erection2015]

between JL and GN.....she was hitched to a professional skier i think.

No. If you had said Rod Laver and Margaret Court, then Yes.

Btw, Chris Evert and Jimmy Connors were once engaged. But never got married.
She married John Lloyd who is now a Wimbledon commentator.
She was also recently married to golfer Greg Norman, the great white shark, but think now also divorced.

eerrrr it was the French open finals....Chang vs stefan edberg. Underhand serves cos he had cramps from exhaustion. Its the only Grand Slam that chang ever won and he was the 1st american in yonks to win the French open altho mcenroe came close in a 5 set thriller against lendl before that.

fark lah......................Serena Williams that bloody Gorilla still around.......................


beauty queen, Maria Kirilenko out.......................


praying Azarenka can stop the bloody Black Monkey..................

Always amazed about the knowledge that Vijay has, and the humerous and pleasant way he puts his messages across.
No wonder Rolex got him to be an ambassador.

Those ex players football pundits should try to watch him and learn something. If they want to make money conmmentating or on punditry, better keep up to touch with the game and say something useful.

anna kournikova was another looker.

She was, but not a good player at all.
At least the 2 Marias and Ana are all really good players.
Anna made more money from modelling than from tennis, she is more like a model who plays tennis as a past-time!!!

 

[jw5]

Women's SF Matchups:

Serena Williams (USA) vs Victoria Azarenka (Belarus)

Agnieszka Radwanska (Poland) vs Angelique Kerber (Germany)


Pity that Sabine is out. She's a very good player who takes a lot of risks, but ended up making a lot of errors against her compatriot Angelique.
Hopefully Victoria will defeat Serena to take on one of the other 2. Serena always acts charming when she wins, but when she loses, can be very rude and sacrastic.

 

[erection2015]

ya i guess so....her 2 most noteworthy events during her career

1) won a doubles title with hingis

2) had a streaker disrupt one of her matches

She was, but not a good player at all.
At least the 2 Marias and Ana are all really good players.
