The tennis

[louiselux]

I swear watching tennis is actively bad for my blood pressure. Roger has just managed to get himself broken twice in the first set by bloody Albert Montanes. Christ. WHY ROGER WHY.

ETA: Roger broke back, then got broken again in the next game. Omg, appalling.

Holy shit. Wtf is wrong with him? I wonder is it boredom as I have read? I have no idea. Montanes? Come on, Roger!

I assume he either doesn't give a shit, or for some specific reason his level really has slipped this low. But people have reported that he's been pretty intense in practices recently, so I don't know. Just a bad day? He lost the first set 6-2.

Or it's simply rank mookery.

I just filled out my Madrid predictions. He might be meeting Ernie AGAIN (provided either of them get as far as QF). AUGH!

I will join you in that AUGH!!

He needs to go sacrifice a cow to the match gods, is what. Or a tower of truffles, or something. In current form, he's not gonna get past Stan in R16...

Holy chocolate balls, that was BAD. I mean, he does seem to be a lot more tenacious at slams, and it's best of five, so perhaps things won't be as bad at RG as this suggests. But I can't see him retaining his Madrid title by a long mark. Still, I hope he proves me wrong.

AUGH!!

Be calm! Drink chamomile tea as you watch!

(I misread his foe's name as "Albert Manatees" which was an intriguing mental image).

I switched to whisky and coke. It helped!

Heee, Mr Manatees! I am trying to think of a sea cow related tennis pun and failing.

Looks liks my tough love thing didn't work out. What are we going to do with him, Lounicorn? Maybe Rafafa needs to give him a "pep talk".

*sighs* Rafa definitely needs to 'intervene' - but only if I get to watch... ;)
