Well, I realize it has been a while since I updated this, but I guess other things too precedence. Wimbledon this year was… well, I cannot argue that it was an awesome men’s final match, but I am still bummed by the outcome.
The news agencies are of course, making this out to be disaster, the sky is falling, Roger is no longer the “King”, blah blah blah. Honestly, don’t they have any idea what Mono can do to a person? And the match was absolutely up to the last second, it was sheer luck that Rafael won.
Perhaps I wouldn’t be so bitter if I could somehow find a way to actually like Rafael Nadal. As it is, he simply irritates me to no end. He needs a haircut. Badly. His hair always looks greasy and icky, when he could look so much nicer if he’d simply cut it off. And I’m sorry, but he really needs to either get some new trousers or get better underwear, because truly, I am very sick of seeing him pick his butt every single service. Even the networks got embarrassed by it, and have started either showing his opponent while Rafa goes through his interminably long pre-serve silliness, or showing his shoes, or his hair, or something. They don’t want him picking his butt on national TV any more than we want to see it!
Now, to give Rafael credit, yes, he’s a good player. He’s gracious, and seems to have no temperamental issues that are so frequently seen in tennis players. But he’s just… greasy, dirty looking, even in his press conferences when he obviously showered, he just looks gross to me.
And now we move on to the Olympics, where Roger and Rafael are in opposite sides of the draw, so the only way they could meet would be in the finals. Oy.
