shocks and thrills

this week's sporting events are more than enough to exhaust this very happy and shocked sports fan.

check out yesterday's WINNERS and LOSERS.

3 in 1

four entries written about three amazing stories that happened within six hours of each other.

the three headliners?

first, my captain defeated my favourite maverick.

second, i discovered that ana ivanovic was not the only beautiful girl on court 1 today.

last, much as turkish delight has lit up the tournament thus far, the ball is still round and anything can happen.

life imitating sports

wait. i think that should read "life imitates literature." however, this maxim has certainly landed me in hot volcanic springs and my ass is toasted red with all talk in that direction. i'll leave all sane literature discussions for my classes next semester --- at least i get to tell any over-sensitive hotshots to just leave the classroom if they can't handle the heat.

it is possible, my friends, to learn valuable lessons from one of the most unifying events in our lives: SPORT.

bmw-sauber rocks in montreal

the beamer used to be my dream car. since i can never realistically get my hands on one of these and call it mine, i can at least adopt the munich-born grand prix team, if only for one race, can't i? because yesterday in montreal was when it finally came together for bmw-sauber! congratulations, kubica! heidfeld! theissen! rampf! well done all around!

the mallorcan juggernaut

you can't touch him, roger, not you, not nole, not nico, not anyone right now.

vamos mi rafalito, the undisputed king of clay! wooohooooooo!

the big 3 and dinara

compelling match-ups tomorrow, my friends! read more about it HERE!

and the feel-good story of this year's french open thus far for yours truly has got to be the stirring run of dinara safina to this saturday's final.

it's heating up in roland garros... bring it on, boys and girls!

words get in the way

it's been three days since i got back from roland garros and i still have not found the right things to say about my experience, only THIS.



while we're on the topic of my beloved tennis, check out my sports blog entry about two exciting players i've added to my impossibly long list of favourites . it's getting more crowded at the top!

RG watch: centre court is the place to be

today's fourth round matches on both the men's and women's side promises to be action-packed and joy-giving to this very happy tennis fan
