Went to watch tennis yesterday at Khalifa Complex. Halfway through nauseating match between Russian fourth seed Myskina and Japanese Ai Sugiyama noticed a Japanese guy complete with the Japanese flag and a very complicated camera couple of rows below. Couldn't see the camera very well. Mom had a better view of it, so here is the brief info exchange:
Me: Mom, what camera is that guy with the flag holding? Mom: Sugiyama Me: Are you sure? Mom: Yes yes Me: No, really, what camera is it? Mom: Most definitely Sugiyama Me: Is your name Sugiyama? Mom: Yes yes
It was a little loud at the court. Dull and apathetic Myskina lost in 3 sets after the most boring 3 hour match ever, and it was captured on a very complicated Japanese camera, Sugiyama.
Next, Hingis dealt with Italian Francesca Schiavone in just under an hour. Schiavone has the most beautiful game I've ever seen! The way she hits the ball is amazing, the way she opens up at the serve and the way she swings, and each of her volleys is a masterpiece. Shame that she doesn't aim well. Hingis didn't waste a move and walked over 6-1, 6-2.
Then we admired Mauresmo who we love to hate, and yet she is the perfect athlete. Abs to die for!
Today will be a busy day again. The deadlines at work are fast approaching, and at the same time my parents constantly need to be entertained, so I run around trying to fit everything in. Quarterfinals, plus horse races, plus friends coming over for dinner after the races/tennis, plus daddy wants to go to the supermarket, plus if I don't squeeze in at least an hour of sleep I will die. The construction outside the house is in full swing, so sleeping in the morning after the sunrise is not an option.
Aunt, don`t you want soup? (sitting with a big mug, protyagivaet)
+ I have a good pillow... It`s so nice to sleep during lectures, I think with work it`s the same. ;-)
Yes, I will have a great weekend, yes yes!
Cat, I will not have weekendS this time:-/ Poor me. But! Soon... Very very soon (if I can be lucky) Ya zab`yu na universitet! Do you know this Russian word "zabit`"? :P "Ya predlagayu tebe rabotat` vmeste so mnoi" To est` otdyhat`! :) 20 days... just think... tennis & sleep, sleep & tennis. Ok, loshadi also ;-)

Thanks for the soup! It's a bit hot for soup here, got ice cream? Myskina is out, but Petrova is in the finals! So keep your fingers crossed tomorrow. I'll be rooting for her too, since Hingis is sadly out.
Ahmed,
Got a short weekend this time, will be at work tomorrow. Have to finish the tender. Sigh..
Kaleidoscope,
Check here for the finals review :^)
Chick,
Got it! 11 hours of undisturbed sleep. Hope you got some too!
I can't say I know my tennis. Yeah well I know the rules and the leading players, and I favour a few, that's about it. It's a great sport to watch though. So, thanks!
Jack,
You HAVE to run a lot in tennis. No way around it. Good luck, lol!
UE,
Missed you, girl. You are exempted from reading my tennis commentaries. But only this time, until you catch up on sleep. So stop missing me at night, and get some sleep instead. Meow!
Susanne,
Coffee makes my world go round! I so know what you mean!
SA,
I envy you. I couldn't hit the ball to save my life, lol. So you play, I watch.
Hussa G,
Sigh, so true, no chance... No chance to catch up on blogs either! Any new pics on yours? :^)
