French Open

Post by daffodil » 3rd Jun, '10, 11:31

Been watching some of this - well what else to watch now Idol is over ;)

Generally, my least favourite Slam tournament but last night's game between Sam Stosur and Serena Williams had me on the edge of my seat. Well done to Stosur for hanging in there and taking the opportunity late in the 3rd set, hope she gets to the final this year.

I sometimes think maybe she should be playing in the men's singles rather than the women's though.
If there was a God, then why is my arse the perfect height for kicking?

Either the settings on my TV are wrong or Stosur has thighs the size of a rugby player.

And there it is, the win !!!

Well done Sammy. Australia's best womens tennis player since Yvonne Crawley/goolagong

Wendy Turball is from brisbane. I met her a few times in my younger days... "She looked like a woman but talked like a man..." as a pubescent teen at the time and my first real person contact with a man talking woman, I was quite confused.. :lol:

She steamrolled Jankovic, has a great chance of winning on Saturday.

Not sure about the thighs but her service arm is pure muscle, she is one powerful chick :)
