Like me, he's in hiding. I toyed with the idea of combing my hair straight and sticking on a false moustache before going round to the practice courts in case he was there. Changed my mind when I realised that that would freak him out even more!

Mary, why have I not seen you at Wimbledon this year? It seems like you live there for the 2 weeks!!
You prob wouldn't freak him out as much as me and my friends did yesterday - I've never thought of us as stalkers but yesterday there might have been an element of stalkerism involved which I am highly embarrassed about. We somehow managed to UNintentionally run into him when he was walking out of the All England Tennis Club at about 10.45 last night down a sideroad. Considering we have been waving our tennis fans frantically at him on (and off) court several times this week, he and his friend made the intelligent decision to stop down a side road and wait for us to pass before continuing their journey home - thus preventing us from following them - which I should stress, was NOT what we would have done (although very tempting!!).
Mary, will you be at Wimbledon on Monday? Tell me what you'll be wearing and I'll look out for you!

Another one of those will-they-finish, nail-biting, drama nights .... Rafa gets it done 76 62 63 over Kiefer Cilic bests PHM 67 63 64 76 Misha 2 points away - Stepanek hurts his wrist - trainer visit - light fading ... and Misha squeaks by 75 67 64 67 63 (one of the ESPN commentators gets a kick out of Misha post-win salute, just waiting for it to happen LOL) whew   Rest o' the Results: Murray d Haas 64 67 63 62 Gasquet d Simon 63 63 67 63 Tipsarevic d Tursunov 76 76 63 Clement d Melzer 46 63 64 64 Schuettler d Garcia-Lopez 62 63 64 Clement and Schuettler are definitely surprises ... Rainer had good movement, and some nice shots ... Bob & Mike had a nice doubles match win (then they each won their respective mixed doubles  ) ... lots of slip-sliding around it seems the past couple days Can't believe Court 2 isn't a Wimby Live Show Court ... such a shame ... been excellent otherwise Adding to the sweet Monday: Murray-Gasquet  ... Tipsarevic-Schuettler in definitely an unexpected pairing - as is Cilic-Clement ... Youzhny-Rafa Mary: Mucho mucho thanks for all the updates all week -- made it feel like we were there right along with you! So fun!  |

yeah, they've bounced back and forth to Court 2 on TV, but it'd be nice for it to be a part of Wimby Live ... just weird *shrug* -- esp cause they've had some good stuff on it

LOL. Maybe he should wear a moustache when he leaves the grounds! I head back to Scotland on Monday afternoon, so the boy can breathe a sigh of relief that at least his panda with the video camera will have gone. LOL. In my absence, I have of course left a large supply of fairy dust ... And I will contine with my cybercoaching. Which he'll ignore anyway. LMAO. Keep waving the fans at him - it'll help circulate the fairy dust. I'll get the videos sorted asap for the OS. |

—What do you think of Janko Tipsarevic? He scares the tabloids here a little—the Daily Mail’s Alan Fraser referred to him today as a “bizarre-looking intellectual” who was a “strange sight in his dark-rimmed glasses, black beard, and nose strip.” But it was all redeemed by the headline writer: “Tipsarevic turns Roddick exit into an odd spectacle.” I had to read that three times before I got the pun. Really, though, Tipsarevic is a great interview and a smart guy, maybe the most personable of the highly personable Serbian contingent. He answers everything in a straightforward, thoughtful way. I like Janko. And he's cute without the glasses and nose strip, LOL YaY for Monday's sched already -- tomorrow's break will be nice to gear up for Super Monday. Woot woot! ;D Replay's just shown the end of Dinara's match.  Sad to see her in tears and pain ... and to lose a 3 1/2 hr match 6-8 in the 3rd ...  (and then she came back out to play doubles  -- the team she played against included Peer -- Dinara & Szavay lost the first set 5-7 before they called it a night)  |

I hope Marat will be able to handle the pressure in the next match, and cut down on unforced errors to beat wawrinka

Ok Big Yin/Pixie, cybercoaching kicking in again. Feel free to ignore, as usual. But bear in mind who has more experience of grass ... despite it being your best surface. LOL. You know what I'm going to say anyway ... trading shots from the baseline will only work for so long, and Stan will just keep whacking it back waiting for you to lose the rag. Assuming that you keep the head as you did with Noely Boy, fair enough. But as soon as you start mumping/shoulder slumping/shouting/racquet throwing (don't even think it sunshine ...), better to make some net approaches and finish the point. Mix up the shots with lots of topspin and then heavy slice on the serve - don't keep it consistent. Serve out wide as much as you can to open up the court.
If you have been out tending the garden again, you should be pretty relaxed. And the panda has moved on. Dump the Moscow flat for a house and garden ... it's great therapy! Trust me.
I'll get back home to Glasgow by about 8.35pm - if you're still on court, I'll be throwing more fairy dust around. In the meantime, 3 kilos will be hitting your pillow during the night. You will be fully coated by morning.
Go for it. Get your revenge on Stan. X!
