Australian Open

[Vercingetorix]

Maybe her dad turns my stomach and I parlay that to her. I might be making a mountain of a mole hill. I've done it before, a lot.

I do think I see her a lot looking toward her opponents for reaction to her fist pump.

To the hot point, I completely agree. Hot chicks can certainly be the biggest b*%ches on earth.

I'm with you; I think her whole thing is gamesmanship. The shrieking, the fist pump, all of it. I understand that this is big-girl tennis, and if that's what she needs to do to win, then yeah, go for it. But it doesn't make her someone for whom I want to root. She's like a hot Russian female version of Terrell Owens or Chad Johnson. Nice that she looks good, but I'd rather root for someone equally attractive who doesn't act like a jackass.

Oh Big Papa.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Maybe you're picking up on something I'm not seeing. It seems pretty harmless to me. I guess I just have trouble seeing a pretty girl like her doing something malicious like that.

This has got to be the most ironic comment on VN in 2008. Right?

 

[volsgal03]

Ivanovic is adorable, she seems really genuine.

 

[BigPapaVol]

Oh Big Papa.

out of character, but I like the sound of that.

 

[BigPapaVol]

Ivanovic is adorable, she seems really genuine.

if, by adorable, you mean hot with a wicked forehand. we agree.

 

[volsgal03]

k: you made me laugh.

That seems like a pretty big exaggeration. It's not like she started doing the shriek when she became a star. She's been doing it for years. I'd say Serena Williams would be more like Chad Johnson with her flashy outfits.

When she was giving her speech, I couldn't hear(computer in next room) she seems so innocent, I like her.

 

[rbroyles]

I was pulling for her, don't care for the screamer.

I laughed kptvol.

Her English is still a little choppy, but she's better than Miss South Carolina.

nothing better than feigned innocence.

easy on the screamers. you seen porky's?

 

[volsgal03]

What do you men think of the mens match?

 

[kptvol]

I had a case of the runs. You probably heard me yelling earlier. Uh.

 

[volsgal03]

I laughed my ass off, I think my brother took me to see that movie, when I was young teenager.

 

[rbroyles]

Didn't think Federrer would go down, especaily in less than 5 sets.

 

[volsgal03]

Didn't think Federrer would go down, especaily in less than 5 sets.

I didn't see the match, I say a lot of people were stunned with that outcome, me included.

 

[BigPapaVol]

What do you men think of the mens match?

Djokovic should handle it, with it being Tsonga's first.

 

[volsgal03]

I dont know big Pappa, I think Tsonga may win. It would be great to go five sets.

 

[Vercingetorix]

That seems like a pretty big exaggeration. It's not like she started doing the shriek when she became a star. She's been doing it for years. I'd say Serena Williams would be more like Chad Johnson with her flashy outfits.

I just think that the screaming sucks. There's no reason to shriek on each and every shot unless you're deliberately trying to annoy your opponent. Couple that with the way she prances around the court and pumps her fist while looking across the net, and all I see is a look-at-me diva. Which is fine, I guess, but I have no interest in rooting for that kind of a player. Or her father.

 

[rbroyles]

easy on the screamers. you seen porky's?

Yes, how about Deliverance?

 

[kptvol]

Djokovic should handle it, with it being Tsonga's first.

Djok will probably take his shirt off. How's that for sportmanship?

Additionally, would you approve of Maria if she decided to adopt the same postmatch ritual?

 

[BigPapaVol]

Yes, how about Deliverance?

the uninvited cornholing is a bit of a problem for me, so I can see the screaming there.
