Hot Tennis

Women's tennis apparel has been getting more and more revealing. I like!!! I can't wait until the advent of "Hot Tennis" (along the lines of Hot Yoga) where the participants have to play in skimpy costumes. Hmmm....wonder if that's a good thing though...after looking at the shape 2.5 - 3.5 rated players are in.

But I would still like to see men's apparel get smarter...cut close to form, possibly a skinsuit? Hey, why not? Right now, almost everyone except Nadal are wearing ghetto. I bet Fedex can down a few seconds if he gets rid of some cloth (er...just kidding!). I bet Adidas will do a good job at this.

Who is better? Federer or Nadal

Federer wins hands down - at least, at this moment.

Federer played the final at Roland Garros 2007 like crap but even then - playing at his 50% - he gave Nadal trouble in the first set and took the second one.

Federer has been unbeatable on hard court...well, except for a few events early this year. But I think after the Oz open he got tired. He needs to rest.

Federer grrr!! $#%$###

I was so upset at Fedex playing like *** that I took off cycling for about an hour. He whiled away 10 breakpoints in the first set!! What the ?? Anyway, he had that expression on his face that said that he had been defeated before the match really began. I think he needs to do a few things - be stronger physically so that he can attack the high ball on his backhand better. He also needs to be stronger in his mind when he plays Nadal on clay. Perhaps he can try out a few aggressive maneuvers in warm-up tournaments - with the understanding that he may lost that match. But the intel he might get out of that could be very useful - nothing else is working anyway!!

Trying out a new configuration with height and position of the seat on my bike. I lifted it about 1 cm and pushed it forward that much. I felt a big change in the way the muscles were being used...seemed like it the back AND the front muscles of my legs were being used equally as opposed to quads only. Felt I was riding faster but this was on the way back home after I had stopped to eat, change the seat position and stretch.

I was able to run on Saturday and bike on Sunday!
