What’s So Random?
My thoughts, I guess. I’m a bit fickle minded these days, too. Last week, while watching Wimbledon, I decided that I am a Maria Sharapova fan because although she lost that round 2 match against Gisela Dulko, she demonstrated the ferocity and fighting spirit that she is well known for. Come the quarters, I saw Sabine Lisicki, a teenager from Germany that they are now calling “the new Steffi Graf”, and I thought that this one’s very good, too, and is definitely to watch out for. Then it was the semis and Elena Dementieva almost beat Serena Williams on their semifinal match and I was also very much impressed. Well, I think I’ll pick Dementieva to cheer for by August during the U.S. Open. During the men’s semis, on the other hand, I was alternately astounded by some Andy Roddick shots and then some absolutely brilliant winners from Andy Murray, that even though I was never much a fan of either of them, I watched their match in full and at the edge of my seat, so to speak. Despite my frequent change of hearts on who to root for this past Wimbledon fortnight, one thing remains – I am giddily anticipating Roger Federer’s win tomorrow. Time to break the records. To me, that’s almost a done deal. I’ll drink some from the shower faucet if I’m proven wrong (*fingers crossed*).
