US Open

A friend of mine is giving up on tennis, at least on watching the US Open. He's more attuned to Latin Dancing now. I don't blame him. As anybody who is aspired to be a gold digger or simply want to get rich quick, I think they should seriously consider Latin Dancing, go to Hong Kong, seek out HSBC's Wong. You might just get lucky, who knows?

Back to the US Open.

Agassi is gone for good. He will be fondly remembered at least once every year during the US Open, especially when there are rain delays.

The major upset so far is Nadal, the ugly capri pants lover. Number one Federer keeps advacing and his latest victim was American Blakes. A Rod with the help of Jimbo aka Jimmy Connors is playing his best tennis so far. Federer is just a tennis machine. And in the game of human against machine, I think Federer is going to walk away as the Champion.


On the women side, "half of a man" Mauresmo is my favorite. Serena got soundly beaten by her in this Open. The "I am pretty" Sharapova is a crowd's favorite, or not. Her Dad is pretty annoying, what's the deal with that banana and water thing? Her Nike $3,500 cocktail little black dress is interesting ....

UPDATES:-
Sharapova won and there was no "bananagate."

    I gave up watching tennis years ago, at around the time when Kournikova stopped playing. In Hong Kong, young people are not playing tennis that much. If you happen to see a guy with a tennis racket in the MTR station, he is most likely a balding, middled aged bozo called Chi Keung. It really has an image problem. As for Latin Dancing, it is something for people of all ages. It is a different ball game.

    How's (Latin Dancing) a different ball game ... Oh my gosh I got it. Pardon my stupidity.

    There seems to be a correlation btw one's ball choice and one's wealth, the smaller the ball one plays the wealthier one tends to be. Not exactly accurate but you got the idea.

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
