thinkin' about it thursday.

tennis.
it's time to talk tennis, people!  yay!  tennis is the sport that gets us through to baseball season..........is it april yet?  no, you say?  well, that's ok {for now} because it's the australian open.  we love the australian open.  it's the first major of the season, the atmosphere is a little crazy down there, and it's a hard court.  don't get me wrong i like the clay and grass, but you won't get higher speeds than a hard court.  what makes it even better this year is my guy is in the finals!  woot, woot!  that would be novak:

ahhhhhhh, i lurve novak.  will really wants andy murray (the brit) to win this year, so if andy wins tonight (or tomorrow-i get all confused about the time) then it will be a fun, fun, fun competitive final at our house.  #1 rafa & #2 rog (we go by nicknames cause we're tight.) are not even in it!  crazy.  i'm a big fan of those guys, as well, but come on!  they've won tons, let's keep it interesting, shall we?  
ok, let's move on to the girls.  will and i have always been sharapova fans, but the last few tourneys she's lost early.  so, wozniacki has taken over as our fave recently.  she was ranked #1 but lost to the first asian to make it to the finals:  li na.  which i think is soooooo cool, so that is who i will be pulling for.  i'm thinking will is not since he is still mad that wozniacki lost to her.
so, thanks for joining me for tennis talk today.........now go watch you some australian open!!
p.s. grandma: i know you are reading this what are your thoughts on the tourney this year?

here is my take on the tennis I just about cry at each tournment because the
amercians do so bad I want them to always be the winner. but alas they always disappoint
me. now with that said. I guess I will side with Will and route for Murray. although your man (whatever
his name is I can't pronounce it nor spell it) he is very good looking so if that has anything to
do with it maybe I will find myself routing for him.
who ever wins i think it will be a good match.

keep up the good work and give those too young men a big hug for me. love grandma jewell
