RE: General tennis news

UPDATE: Yes, Roger's sister also has a set of twins, via twitter.

Note to self: stay away from Twitter.

Funny you say that. I just closed my account. I had it for 3 years and posted maybe 10 times.

I'm coming to realize that twitter isn't for normal mortals. It's a mouthpiece for PR. Everyone on twitter is selling something. But for those who have a reason to broadcast, it's quick short-hand.

But yet the majority of Twitter users are the mere mortals. I've always felt that it takes an astounding amount of hubris to believe that folks are interested in your mundane everyday activities. If you're a celebrity, I get it.....but if you're a regular person?????

Boy that post is going to bite you in the behind when Murray wins the FO, Wimbledon and the US Open back-to-back-to-back... :

... and he's planning on doing just that.

Other than that meaning Rafa gets no slams this year, I would enjoy every second of it. Perhaps we can compromize though, have Nadal win his FO title, while Andy gets the rest?

Roger is sharper in the bedroom than he is on court these days. Unless those twins were lucky let chords.

I am wondering now, when is Nole's wife due? I have no doubt he would do what Roger is doing right now, being with his wife, and especially this is their first. I wonder if it will coincide with anything major, like the WTF or AO?

Oh, she was born about 28 years ago! So she was due in 1986...

Based on basic arithmetic, it will be sometime after USO and before WTF.

Anyway, you got lucked out as Roger will be in Toronto.

I get mid-August to mid-Sept. What are you basing your math on?

1986 ?, she was on Halley's Comet and jumped off the burning chunk of rock/gas/ice/flames on closest approach to planet earth.:idea:

As far as I know , nobody mentioned how far along she was during the announcement , so I guess it is anyone's guess.

I think most people tend to wait until 3 months have passed before announcing a pregnancy. I would assume she was at least 3-4 months gone.

Here's my reasoning, and it worked with Mirka, (though I thought late May): you're not even meant to tell your friends until the 3rd month, so I figure you wouldn't release it to the world until at least the 4th, but probably a little later. I read the Serbian press had speculated a "baby bump" just before the announcement, which means closer to 5. Of course, it's just a guess, but I'd be surprised if she's due later than mid-Sept.

Novak's twitter announcement was on Apr. 24th. Even if you think, Jalena was 5 months
pregnant at that time, it gives an approximinate due date of Sep. 24th. USO typically
ends by Sep 10th or so. But, they could have announced little earlier than 5 months,
but definitely not before 3 months as both you and Iona say.

Hence, I stick to the timeline of after USO and before WTF, with the date being
closer to USO than to WTF having higher probability.

Roger is sharper in the bedroom than he is on court these days. Unless those twins were lucky let chords.

How do you know if it wasn't done intravenously

RE: General tennis news

^ No, use your fingers to count. If she was 5 months along, 9 months would be late August. And you can add two possible weeks to that. If she was 4 months, late Sept./early Oct. at the latest. I'm just saying that if she was showing, she was more than 4 months along. Unless she was wearing a catsuit, which seems unlikely. Look, I know no one wants it to be during the USO, but, inconveniently, it could be. My guess is that she was more than 4 months, and less than 5, which means he might just make it through the USO. They could have been so excited they announced earlier than would be prudent, but that's inconsistent with the baby bump sightings. Alright, that's all I have to say on prognostication for when the baby arrives. :angel: Until then, I wish Jelena and the baby good health and an easy time.

Since it seems a few of us are real big on Dominic, here's an article looking at the possible record-breaking success he has had in qualifying so far this season...

If she's showing already, then who knows how far along she is. A girl in work, a skinny-malink like Jelena, didn't have much showing after five months. Unless they make a statement, we don't know how far along she is, but your count seems fairly accurate...
