WIMBLEDON 2009

I never was an avid tennis fan but then now that I am jobless with very little to do, I have been following Wimbledon like never before. And don't I got any company...yes I do...who else to give a fellow vela company then the king of all loafers - Max Mathan himself. And he's taken over my house...sprawled over my comfort purple fake-leather couch, binging over my potato fries and slurping that each last drop of pint beer. Why do I have to put of this nonsense? But I do not mind cause Winbledon has taken over my very interest.

Boy! I have never seen people sweat it out like this. It did take me many a match to get down with the intricate rules of the game and before the end I did have some clear favourites. I could have won some money had I bet some on my choices but I regret not cause the whole show has been one great blockbuster.

Federer won and how...voila! I sure bet he never would have had to work so hard for his other 14 grand slams. He won not cause he was the best. I did feel he was beatable though with the Roddick serves slamming past his ear. But then he brings so much consistency to his game and that's what has led him to victory all these years. In a few months he will have another trophy that he will cherish the most of all trophies won in his lifetime what with his wifey all preggers.

Roddick was all teary in the end and must be getting the similar feel that Andy Murray felt in the semi-finals...being so close and yet so far. BTW, Max feels Murray looks like a geek. Well I didn't ever give much thought to his thoughts!!!

The woman's finals well got a bit predictable. I knew Williams would win!! Those girls sure got a lot of firepower in there. "Happy realisation", says Maria. I catch hold of her and shove her back in the refrigerator. It will help numb her demented brain!! Well coming back though I secretly wished Elena Dementieva made it to the finals. She was kinda cute.

Max Mathan knuckles up MY last pint and offers me a sip. As I quench my thirst, he pegs up and asks me, "Dude, given a choice who would you sleep with...Venus or Serena Williams?"

Well am I just sad Wimbledon's come to a close!!!
