Volleying U.S. Open (Tennis!) Thread...

TP's favorite babe, third-round doubles Monday morning.

 

daaaaaaaaaaaamn you dools.

you are tennis' version of lex luthor.

 

And she and Mirza are playing the second-seeded team, so.....linkage is likely, making shrinkage less so.

 

stooooooooooooooooooooooop

 

The ugliest shirts so far. Because grey hides the sweat SO well, especially on the matching shorts (gross).

As for the Britney Spears of the women's tour, I read a story over the last couple of days that basically said she's low-keying it in doubles out of respect for her partner, Sania Mirza of India.
Someone in her home country put a hit out on her because her tennis attire (extremely modest, by any standard) was unacceptable to her country and an affront to their religion. We can't even imagine what that girl goes through.

One of the more odd doubles pairings around, that's for sure.

 

And what's with fancy schmanzy bows on women's outfits. Look at what that did for Serena...no favours!

 

And Mattek and Mirza beat the second-seeded team.[/dooley] C'mon, AP![/tpetty]

 

Oh, well, no AP. But the U.S. Open itself delivers:

New ladies fav Lopez up a set on Roger. They're on serve in the second, and Federer doesn't seem to be able to figure out Lopez's serve.

 

satan.

 

Really wish I could've gone this week. I have a meeting Tuesday, and by Wednesday, I think day sessions are done.

There's always next year.
