Thanks, Tessa! *blushes*
Seriously, wouldn’t it be AWESOME if my dream came true!

“…but in my dreams, Federer gets his revenge over Andy Murray or Rafa and everybody STFU for a while.”

I think I love you.

Yeah, I quite like JoWilf. I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan, because I haven’t seen him play nearly enough. I suppose I’ve stayed clear a bit because I sensed he was the new “hot thing” and I didn’t want to follow him only for that reason. I’m mightily impressed with his talent, though, from what I have seen.

Re Verdasco, I’m *really* hoping it wasn’t just a hot streak. He’s one of my favourites (since before the bandwagoning, I swear! ) and I’m eager to see him do well this year. If he is to meet Rafa, I want him to do what he should have done at AO, but I know it’s probably not that likely. Totally agree with the monk thing, though. Less Camille, more Gil, kay Nando?

Hi Eve! Yeah, I also noticed it was a particularly flattering shot of Gonzo. . .dolphins make him photogenic, I guess, like soft lighting!

Are you a Tsonga fan? I am a HUGE fan of his and I’m really hoping he does well in Miami. I’d like to see him have a bigger profile with fans in general. . .

I’m also with you on the Verdasco thing – after seeing Roger dismiss him in straights last week I had to wonder if he was just a guy on a major hot streak, a la Gonzo at the 2007 Aussie Open or Baghdatis in ’06. I’m thinking Rafa could embarrass him pretty badly. . .and I bet that actress girlfriend of his saps his attention. He’s better as a celibate monk worshiping at the altar of Gl Reyes. (Can’t you just see him kneeling on the floor in his Adidas shorts and fauxhawk?)

We’ll see! Besides pulling for Roger, as usual, I’m also pulling for my man Tsonga! I’d love to see him take a big title like Miami.

LOL, I wonder if Federer will be able to take this title, and while having my doubts, he is just such a huge threat. But all these younger guys are so talented too, and Rafa is on a rampage…I’m excited :]

“In my dreams, Federer gets his revenge over Andy Murray or Rafa and everybody STFU for a while.”

Heh. Makes two of us. But in lieu of this (probably unlikely) scenario, a Nadal/Tsonga final would be great. A rematch of Nadal/Verdasco in the semis is what I’m really hoping for, though (provided Nando beats Murray in the QF, pleaseplease) just to see whether or not the heroics at AO were a one off.

Also? Gonzo looks pretty yummy in that photo. And I don’t usually find him that attractive.
