Martina loses in 2nd round

been keeping up w/wimbledon? martina is a FORTY-SEVEN year old female tennis vet, who played in wimbledon just cause she could... while she's not as agile as she used to be, it was fun to watch her exercise her experience over her opponents and take them down using brain over strength... sadly, you can only get so far...

venus is also out, due to a contraversial call... but serena's still in... when it comes to women's tennis though, i like jennifer capriati; excellant return, very good strokes. her defense against serves is very formidable.

on the men's side, a casual fan HAS to love andy roddick; prob my fave american tennis player. i just love watching him blow ppl apart with his aces; he wasn't as dominant as he was in the us open, concerning his aces, but hey, no 4 in the world doesn't count for nothing; uberdweeb, if you're reading this, roddick's 1st opponent at wimbledon was a taiwanese guy; wang something... don't worry, that kid's still young; got a while to go; i would've rooted for him, but cmon, it's roddick. roddick btw, got 18 aces against him. it's almost like a bday present!(i think wang was 18) i could go on and on about how good roddick's aces are... the really good ones are where the opponent doesn't even MOVE... the serves of those are hecka fast and hit RIGHT on the line that it's rediculous. you watch, and go, huh? roddick already won another game? the opponent didn't even move!

shaq going to dallas is kinda ok w/me... i hate dallas, but they aren't gaining anything TOO big, longterm that way. and shaq fits in with his defensive weaknesses :D the lakers won't be as strong... dallas would IMO be stronger though, with two good big men. that's assuming dallas is not dumb enough to dump dirk for shaq. i'd just like to see a year where the lakers lack kobe and shaq, or have kobe, but completely suck, but that clippers are contenders, or even where both teams suck... would like to see how socal ppl actually feel... i wondered why i've heard kobe possibly going to san ant a bit... is that one of his potential places he wants to go?

assuming dwight howard lives up to his promise, i could be liking the magic soon; got the core rockets group(francis!) and pretty much just subbed howard for yao... i just hope they emphasize the d. though you could say the trade was 50-50, i still disliked that they broke up the rockets; i love francis and yao.

how often have you fretted so much about what you were doing, have done, and were going to do that you could not go to sleep peaceably for a night? frustrating... i bet...
