[ClayDeath]

Herc, I know you don't like Sampras all that much but look at him with his kids. So adorable.

And look how happy they look together. Love it.

And when he was young. So cute.

I WANT SAMPRAS BACK! lol

 

[Emma]

On his retirement. Heartbreaking...

Johnny Mac, Becker and Courier on the background. All legends of tennis. Will Federer have a farewell like this one?

Will Federer have a farewell like this one?

I think Federer should announce his retirement a year in advance, then go on a world-wide goodbye tour. It would give his millions of fans one last chance to see him, while also giving Roger the opportunity to say farewell.

well he is a world class athlete and he is worth around $300 million lady emma.

he has a hot movie star for a wife. he has a few mansions and an aircraft of his own.

I would say happiness comes pretty damn easy under those conditions.



I think he was dominating on grass. I don't really dislike him.


I do believe that he was a bit of a single trick pony but that is just one man`s opinion.


he was a solid athlete emma. that serve may be the best in history.

 

[ClayDeath]

great pics. keep them coming.


you folks are adding a lot of color and character to the castle with these amazing pictures. everybody loves looking at these pictures. they all tell a story.



do we have any safin fans at the castle?

 

[tented]

do we have any safin fans at the castle?

Princess Moxie is a Safin fan.

 

[ClayDeath]

safin was and still is massively popular.



he and tommy haas would win all the popularity contests.

 

[ClayDeath]

poor bellucci continues to struggle on the tour. he just lost a close one to martin klizan.

Now watching Hiroshima: The Next Day on the National channel.

What a terrible event caused by human beings. The real footage is horrifying. 70,000 died instantly; another 70,000 were injured.

 

[ClayDeath]

and I was watching--or rather looking---at Julia goerges.

she is hotter than a furnace emma. she is stunning beyond belief.

i need to work on duchess dj`s sig.




we need to dig up the order of play for tomorrow. some of the top guns should be in action tomorrow.





Hiroshima was a tragic event.

 

[ClayDeath]

tommy haas is playing doubles with melzer. they just lost the first set to dolgopolov and fognini.


fog is on one hell of a tear. he can do no wrong. singles or doubles.

 

[Emma]

Julia has a pretty face no doubt. I very rarely watch her though because I don't follow women's tennis as much.

I personally prefer 'the girl next door' look as I find otherwise a bit too obvious and not to mention, pretty desperate.

 

[ClayDeath]

Julia goerges, ana ivanovic, and maria kirilenko have near complete monopoly on all available beauty on the wta side.



i also don't tend to watch wta much. i just watch these 3 if and when i am home and i am not busy.

 

[Emma]

Wat? No Sharapova? She's very tall which I find a bit off putting but she has a pretty face and her body is well proportionate.

But you know, part of me is very glad that I am not a man because then, I would have probably spent half my time looking at women or their pictures. lolol

And no man is hot to me if they are not intelligent first so a hot body does nothing for me.

 

[ClayDeath]

maria sharapova has a nice body but she is way too tall. i think she is around 6 foot 2 or even slightly taller.




check this out emma. i have the order of play for tomorrow. top guns go into action tomorrow:

nole will have to deal with florian mayer.

nadal is playing his doubles match.

 

[Emma]

Yes, I've seen it on the other thread already and made a couple of comments. it will be good to see Nadal in the doubles match. How he does here in singles will be a bit telling as to what's ahead for him on hard I suppose.

 

[tented]

Wish they would show the Rafa match, but they won't.

 

[ClayDeath]

singles is where its at for nadal. we need to see how solid he is off the ground.

if he plays like he played at Wimbledon then it will be early exit from here.

you cant return poorly the whole match and expect to win. you also cant give up the whole court and not expect them to hit winners like there is no tomorrow.

 

[ClayDeath]
