Slow... very very slow... apparently this machine gun has run out of ammo and replenishment is going to take some time. 0830 hrs on a Saturday morning and half zonked from waking up at un-chooey hours of the morning to watch the Women's Final of the Australian Open, the first tinge of writing inspiration hit me since my return to SA. But it didn't take long for the sleep monster to take control of this teeny tinge. After a week of consistent "serve, volley and rally", my brain has hit match point. It will only hit championship point after the big finals tomorrow. This means.... SLEEP MARATHON REQUIRED!
The time difference of nine hours between Melbourne and South Africa is killing. This means I've got to wake up at 0200 hrs to watch the 1100 hrs matches, 0430 to watch the 1330 hrs matches and dash through morning errands to make it in time for the 1930 hrs matches = 1030 hrs SA time. What a girl would do for the love of WATCHING tennis (note : WATCH. I do NOT play. Too exhausting. I would choose the remote control anytime anyday, thank you very much). As long as there is a tennis match on, the only thing that runs through the mind - Safin... Federer... Safin... Safin... Federer... Confused.
So... tomorrow is the grand finals - Marat Safin vs. Lleyton Hewitt. I still insist that it should be a Federer and Safin finals but unfortunately, the draw had it that they met in the Semi-Finals instead. And that, my friends, was an EPIC semi-finals. Just 4 1/2 hours glued to the Samsung 29" screen (or is it 27"? Whatever) and being a traitor to Marat Safin. I could not decide who I was supporting by the deciding fifth set. I think my heart went out to Fed at some point as I did want to see how far he could stretch his winning streak. And the way Fed GLIDES around the court, he actually makes the game look easy and effortless. He plays with class and elegance whilst Safin can look somewhat clumsy with his big and heavy frame. But still, I'm more incline towards Safin for bimbotic reasons - he's quite good-looking especially when he breaks out with his mischievious grins and he is humourous. I think he so needs a haircut at the moment. That scruffy unruly look is so not it. Anyhow, I was overjoyed over Safin's win. Just one more game to attaining the AO trophy.... Thank God it is the evening match tomorrow. I don't have to wake up at 0430 hrs AGAIN.
Useless Tennis Discovery #1 : Federer looks like Goliath
For the longest time I was deciding if Fed has eyes like an eagle or an owl. Then, I realized, neither. He actually looks like Goliath, the Siberian Husky! This realization hit me when he had his tongue dangling out a little at the side whilst chasing for a ball, and I was, " Hmm... this looks really familiar... GOLIATH!!!" And there was the mystery solved. Roger Federer looks like a goofy Siberian Husky.
I tried to find for a picture with Fed doing that goofy side tongue dangling thing, but no luck. Oh well. Just stretch your imagination abit.....

Shame... Just missing that loopy side-tongue thing or the uncanny resemblance would be even stronger.
Useless Tennis Discovery #2 : Hot-Blooded Safin's Blonde Ambition
For those who actually do follow tennis closely, should know that Safin has this thing for Blondes. So is it a big surprise that his current girlfriend is a Blondie? Of course not. In fact, his new hottie has made abit of headlines with her... peek-a-boo exposure on the grandstand. Without doubt, I am sure this should keep hot-blooded Safin going for some time.
Guys... you should enjoy this pic, no?
