16!

[louiselux]

Oh, Rog! 16 slams! But poor Mand. I felt for him.

There were tears again, not Roger's this time. What is it about the AO that makes everyone cry?













“I can cry like Roger, it’s just a shame I can’t play like him.”

Oh, Mandy moo. Your time will come.

From Rog's presser:

"I thought he was actually doing fine until he told me, I think there will be some tears. I'm like, Don't worry, it will be all right. And he actually did.

You know, in a way it was hard to watch, but at the same time I like seeing players who care for the game. I don't know. It's nice to see, you know. So you wish, you know, only the best for him."

Oh, no! The Mandy-bot is leaking from his ocular vision sensors!

(And is that a new subspecies of Federbear?)

I was hoping Federer will win another one, but I did feel sorry for Murray at the end. He looked so sad. Well, I think he'll get plenty of chances in the future.

We got decent coverage(and any time I watched I thought of you! ^_^) and I did feel bad for the pressure on Murray ... it ... it must have just been immense and crazy.

*HUGS* - how are you dear? Is it warming up to spring yet? *sends blasts of warm air* Hope all is well and good with you! Take care ok. Love.

Aww, nice pic of Roger and his dad.

Just gutted for Murray right now. Why does everyone hate him so much? He tried so hard, and at the end I was just tearing up with him. HIS DAY WILL COME.

Yay for Roger ♥ And man that koala plushie is cute (something the twins might enjoy?)

“I can cry like Roger, it’s just a shame I can’t play like him.” ...I laughed, and then went awww, because Mandyface is kind of endearing. And I keep forgetting how young he is! Am sure he'll finally get a Slam in the next few years~~

I did feel sorry for Mandy during his speech, but the bottom line is he came out and served like a Wilbur for two sets. He lost because he played badly, and he needs to deal with pressure better if he's going to win. Both guys started a bit woolly, but Roger pulled it together much earlier.

So I didn't feel as sorry for Mandy as I did for Andy Roddick last Wimbledon, because Roddick didn't actually do anything wrong, poor guy.

I was hoping that Andy would win this one, but if he had to lose to anyone at least it was Roger :-)!

i was really shaken when he started crying. oh mand. soon, bb.

btw: i saw tom at a party this afternoon, who says he has commissioned a bag from you. (\o/) he's not sure what the status is, though. i said i'd check.

ALSO. there was a girl there, whose sister is doing some sort of thesis on "upcycling". she was v. interested in bookity, so i have passed on your card, which i happened to have handily about my person. i said it was going really well, and talked about how you do ready made and commissions and stuff, and tom also bigged you up, and everyone was all WOWS. :D

I have to say, I like Mandy about a thousand times more now that he showed that kind of emotion today and was totally gracious about it. What a tough time to cry! And awww @ Roger's presser.

Only Rafa and Roger do hugs, though. No one else gets hugs.

Ah great game wasn't it! Pretty intense there at the tie breaker. My poor heart rate! I wanted Rog to win so much (as always), but Murray put up such an awesome fight it was impossible not to be impressed and a bit sorry that he lost. Unless he's totally off his game, I reckon next year he might be crying a different tune!

Aw, poor Mandy. I did actually feel bad for him, and he looked quite sweet while he was chatting with Roger.

HOWEVER THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT ROGER WON. <33333333
