Got to love a good running Tennyson joke. Tennison! Ha. Anyway. I’m celebrating good results for my favourites the best way I know how.

*insert hoary old ‘how do I get that guy’s job?’ joke here*

Or possibly a whore-y one.

Will Jelena ever not be cute in photos?

Sheer relief.

I feel like I hit the meth and developed mad photoshop skillz.

So … do the ballkids still get pizza, or what?

Uh-oh, the Swiss are pissed off.

Look for Nole to be found in a ditch, very slowly opened like a can of beans.

Think they’re discussing the crappy trophies.

    So here comes a few stupid thoughts on yet another great picsam – and fab day of tennis:
    1- I sincerely do hope that this trainer knows his luck. It is a wet dream of mine to work anywhere near Nole’s buttocks. Admittedly under different circumstances.
    2- Lovely Jelena looks on the verge of being swallowed up by a tsunami of radioactive all purpose flour.
    3- It is mad how quickly I am getting used to this whole ‘Let’s hand the GOAT a cookie tray’ thing. Keep ‘em coming. Surely he can use them around the house as coasters for his other trophies.
    4- And while on subject of trophies, is it just me or is the one in Basel ridiculously lavish for something handed out to the winner of a 500…
    5- …BUT so much better than the funeral urns of Valencia. Seriously what’s up with that? Given the amount of money that went into the infrastructures, you would not expect the accompanying trophies to be something out of the pottery scene from Ghost.
    6- Turquoise, yellow, red & black!? Did the Ferret raid Rafa’s wardrobe?

    All in all a very good day in tennis land.

    I’m just mesmerized by the champagne snow and the amazing flow it garnered in the last 2 pics …

    and how funny would it be if the cork got him in the eye? (Ok, maybe not THAT funny to some people.)
