Tennis... Grand slams are over, but still interesting...

Tennis is back in the press these days, unfortunately, it is because of shadiness... I'm not even going to go in to the nonsense that is swirling around Davydenko, other to say, he better cut it out, if he's doing anything wrong.... What people...

Feminism and Tennis - A great COMBO

nobody@vox.com(Heike) — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 15:45:36 -0400

I get a NYTimes email link each day and at the bottom it has "On This Day" which cites something newsworthy that had happened on this date. Here's today's: On Sept. 20, 1973, Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs in straight sets 6-4, 6-3, 6-3...

Federer vs. Roddick. Tennis at its BEST!

nobody@vox.com(Heike) — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 08:19:00 -0400

Federer won it in three sets, but that doesn't do the match justice at all. The first two sets were decided in tie breakers and there wasn't even a break point opportunity until about halfway through the second set. Adam and I watched the first...

More US OPEN Thoughts.....

Last night, Henin defeated Serena in the Quarterfinals. This is the third time that these two have met in a Quarterfinal this year, and Henin has won each time.... Henin was serving horribly and Adam and I resorted to yelling at the television ...

US OPEN REVIEW!!!

nobody@vox.com(Heike) — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 09:35:20 -0400

I love this time a year... although, I don't quite get enough sleep because I'm staying up late to watch the end of good matches..... I've been meaning to comment for some time, but my work connection isn't being very cooperative with VOX lately...

I {HEART} Tennis!

We went to the US OPEN on Friday... about freakin' time! We were supposed to go last year, but I was sick on the day we were supposed to go, and the following day, we could have gone, but my mom had off from work and I opted for being a good dau...

US Open Getting Close...

nobody@vox.com(Heike) — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 10:13:53 -0400

There's an article in the NY Times today about the draw. I must say that I'm a little bummed to see the Women's side so top-bracket-heavy. First, it makes the matches in the bottom half less interesting, but also, it gives Sharapova (and her in...

Can't Wait for the US OPEN!!!

nobody@vox.com(Heike) — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 09:39:51 -0400

Yesterday, in between the modest studying I did and the work catchup I had to deal with, I was in and out of the family room keeping an eye on tennis. Adam was back and forth between some golf tournament and the Finale of the Men's Roger Cup - a...

I'm getting tired of posting only about the house hunting saga, so here is something complete different..... Photo depictions of my two favorite ways to enjoy a Sunday morning: Favorite #1: Unfortunately, there are only 4 Sundays a year where I ...
