[Sundaymorningguy]

I know I can't control it but drinking usually calms me before a Serena match lol where hardware is on the line.

Hi, all! Chat is open for the womens final.

Sunday,
Why are you tense about something you can't control?

Oh, if only humans could always be so rational. I empathize with you, Sunday. (However, I will add that I'm not drinking. This time. )

I care about certain matches more than others, of course, as is the case with everyone, but the ones I really care about can be difficult to live through. The 2008 Wimbledon final nearly killed me. By the end of the fourth set, I was literally -- literally -- walking in circles around my living room, shouting at the TV, and couldn't sit down until it was over. :laydownlaughing

Ha! Me, too. I can let it go if I can't watch, but if I'm watching a match I care about, I sometimes get so nervous I feel sick to my stomach. :blush:

Mary Jo just said #1 hasnt played #2 in 10 years (assuming she means at the USO only?) Seems crazy, anyway.

Re: 2013 US Open Final: Serena vs. Vika
