Querrey vs. Pospisil: Allez Cuisine?

January 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Sam Querrey and Vasek Pospisil faced off in an Iron/Top/Master Chef-style challenge “with their trademark charm and sass” (!) to help promote the Chennai Open. Yes, because when I think of sass, I think of Popsicle and Sammy Q. Anyhoo, their culinary skillz were judged by none other than Leander Paes, who declared Sam the winner. Though honestly, I think we should call it a win-win because neither of them managed to cut off an appendage in the process. I mean, you know accidentally hacking off part of his hand and thereby ruining his season is TOTALLY something Querrey would do. So well done on keeping your limbs intact, boys, and good luck in the tennis this week.

Meanwhile in Chennai

January 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Janko and his sexy-time Hugh Hefner pajamas took out Kei Nishikori in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4. He takes on Xavier Malisse next. I’m loving Tipsy’s chances of getting to the final.

You did well this week, kid. Wait, is that a Casio watch?? Are they a sponsor? Heh, suck it, Rafa…

They’re Back, They’re Healthy, & They’re Kicking Ass

January 4, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Well, they’re at least winning their opening matches of 2011. One step at a time, people. In Doha, Davydenko and Tsonga both won their matches easily in straights over Fognini and Hidalgo, respectively.

Roddick also had a good start to his year in Brisbane, dismissing AO wildcard playoff winner Matosevic 6-3, 6-2.

And Janko scored a win in straight sets over Schwank in Chennai. With Cilic out, I’m loving Tipsy’s chances here to take the title. He is LONG overdue for his first ATP win.

Which of course means I’ve now jinxed him and he’ll lose the next round. Whatever. Adje.

I Feel Your Pain, Marin

Nishikori kicks my ass on the Wii ALL THE TIME! Then again, I’m not a professional tennis player. Or the tournament’s defending champion. Or about to kiss my ranking points buh-bye…
Nevermind, it totally sucks to be you…but on the brightside, no more fugly Hugh Hefner pajama looking Fila kit? Sigh…see you at the AO.?
