My hand! My hand in a Nike vid

At 0.6, that's my hand! In my garden! Hand-based fame at last! It's from a 5 second film I made to wish Rafa luck at the French Open. Total jinxer.

I've been watching a lot of tennis in the past couple of weeks and not posting much about it. I don't know why. In tennisy news, Roger won the Cincinatti Masters on Sunday, beating both Mandy and Novak Djokovic to get there. He's been on a losing streak to both of them, so it was a bit of a surprise to see him do so well. I think it was after the final that he said he's been doing some intensive training ever since Wimbledon and that it was paying off more quickly than he imagined it would. You'd think a man who'd just become the father of twins might let the tennis slide for a bit, but it seems to have pushed him to work even harder.

Rafa is back after his knee injury, yay! He says he sat on the sofa a lot and wasn't allowed to frolic very much on the beach. I feel for him!

Also, I found two fantastic candid close ups of Roger and Rafa, along with some others: ( rog, rafa and mandy )
