A change of flavour

Ok, looks like I forgot to number a few of my previous posts, two I think. Well anyway, this is the 8th post! Oh yes! This blog is going somewhere...

Then again, my posts are gonna take a little change in terms of what they'll contain. Complaints will still be in high supply I suppose, but I've decided to make this blog a little more related to what I'm doing...meaning it's gonna be more candid I guess. I'm damn hungry and sleepy now so I'm gonna keep this post short.

Yesterday in the evening, had fun again playing tennis with Meyer (the guy responsible for me having even found this amazing sport, forever thanks!). As of now scores are 7-6 (I don't rem my tiebreaker score, think it was 4), 3-6, 6-2...with Meyer leading. Well, depending on whether he wants to count it as a best-of-3 or best-of-5, I've either lost, or am currently down by two sets.

Either way, it means I need to improve. Damn, my backhand sucks and if I could have just 50% of my bullshit skill 'converted' to my backhand, I'd have a better game I guess. Been losing more or less over the past few months. Well, the better player won, and right now I'm actually itching to play again, doesn't matter if I get trashed, the enjoyment is in the playing, the winning sweetens it that's all...hehe

Was watching the Australian Open Round 3 repeat telecast and highlights just now. Oh man, some fabulous play was on show. I'll just cover them and then I can finally sleep in peace, oh and, I'll list the winner first before the loser, so you can skip the commentary (BS in disguise) as usual. (I can't be bothered to include their countries and scores right now, sorry)

Andre Agassi VS Taylor Dent
Wow haha, didn't catch the entire match, mainly watched it from 2nd set till the end. Dent's got a fantastic serve n volley game going on, hate him for it...unless he imparts his backhand to me, then I'll be partially grateful. People with the wrong mindset might think he finds Agassi attractive, cause he keeps running forward to the net, until he can see Agassi's sweat come out from the pores on his head man. Well, of course he wasn't looking at Agassi so much, he was watching Agassi's balls more and reacting quickly to stuff those balls back down Agassi's alley. He did pretty well, until Agassi felt that playtime's over, and decided to finish him off. Well placed forehands and backhands kept coming out in the last few games of the 2nd set. Best of all, he made ZERO unforced errors in the 3rd set, really ate Dent for dinner. I think Dent might be waiting outside the arena to ambush Agassi and smack him bacK to Iran where he came from hehe...
All in all, a fine display of Dent's potential and Agassi's Legacy (wow, sounds good eh?)

Joachim Johannson VS Feliciano Lopez
Wah lau these guys are good...ending the match at practically 4 hours flat. I usually play 2 hours each session, and I'm beat...these 2 guys still looked fresher than me sia. Lots of aces too, 72 altogether. Enough to last me weeks man. I saw the highlights for this and can't really comment on that little, suffice to say these guys have spent half the average sleeping time smacking the hell out of those poor yellow balls. It would have been over in about an hour if either one of them could have served all 72 aces straight. Now THAT would be something......impossible haha. Ok, I'm reaching the end of my sanity rope~

And finally...

Maria Sharapova VS Li Na!!!
Actually, very sad to say, this was the most boring, especially since the highlight (I missed it live cause I was playing my own match hehe) speeded through the already super short match. 50 minutes, that's how long it took for Maria to dominate Li Na. That's why it was boring. Then again, I finally caught my favourite female tennis player in action, so that's a little plus point. It's nice to know she's capable of dominating other players, but I'd love to see more quality matches, even if that means she has to struggle to win. Crap man...I wanna see Maria dig deep into her tennis prowess, not play a pushover match.
Tomorrow (oops, later) I'll probably put an older match, since it was more exciting than this. Argh, time to sleep....zzz
