The Infinite Shred: XLVI

Even if they will all be straight sets. Sounds pretty cool. Where was that?

Bucharest. I happened to be there at that time.

Night matches on Rod Laver always fill up with matches involving Australians besides top-ranked players' matches. The potential of veteran clashes early on in the tournament is one of the things I like about this Open. And Hewitt's always been through epic encounters (Nalbandian last year, Baghdatis '08). So I approve of him.

So I approve of him. True. Hewitt can be entertaining. Isner had another ridic long match tonight as well. Wish i'd watched that.

I watched sets 2 to 4. Of course I came home from school to find the final set having ended 10-8.

Shame. I rooted for Nalbandian. Isner was grimacing or acting exhausted in the third set after losing every point. Made me want to kick him in the face.

I understand there was a fall out or a bad umpire call or something affecting Nalbandian, I'm gonna watch the replay of the final set.

Lemonade is not something I'm drinking right now. 

Should probably listen to more Thinking Plague. I've got two albums here. 

Oh ho ho

I'm drawing something on paint which seems to be a microwave crossed with a TV and the screen is like a wii.
