Here we go.. RGis not over yet, the draw is out at the Queen's , England.
The Queen’s draw was done today. After his first round bye, Rafa will play the winner of a match between a qualifier and Devvarman. Seeds in his half in include Ljubicic, Tsonga, Wawrinka, Querrey, Del Potro and Simon.
Seeds in the other half are Verdasco, Nalbandian (guess that’s a protected ranking), Anderson, Roddick, Cilic, Bellucci, Tipsaravic and Murray. Why Murray hasn’t withdrawn to protect his ankle is beyond me.
Team Cuteness (nickname of Rafa- Marc) will be playing in the doubles. Their first match will be against Bellucci and Sa.

Yup ! The Williams Sisters are back.. I was on a short trip for 3 days, had a cold and been resting. So I watched a few Eastborne matches.. (Goodness, so many men and women players are still playing to prepare for Wimbledon..)  I watched both Serena and Venus' matches. Serena looked a bit tired and rusty to me. She lost to Vera. Vera lost to Stosur.. But I guess Serena 'll be ready for Wimbledon next week to defend her title.) BTW, both sisters wore very smart , chich outfits, Serena wore a fuchsia dress with black tulle , Venus wore a beautiful white dress .. ********************** Re Queens I was pleased when Rafa lost the qf to Tsonga and went home to rest (just like he did last year) .. He needed that.. |

Oh, AND, I completely agree about Rafa losing to Tsonga. I'm happy that he has been able to get some matches on grass and then just rest up.

I agree Imelda.. Venus and Serena have brought excitement and speed to women's tennis . I cant believe what a great job their father has done.. It s been more than 10 years.. Goodness !!
It s great to see them back.. I was bored watching the same faces over and over again. Serena will probably see the 2nd week. I watched her match to Vera, jus when you thought she was giving up, she would return and win the point.. Have you wacthed Bartoli ? What a style..Hahaha. Jump, jump, jump, non-stop !!!
You know, Serena tweeted about Rafa .I'll post it ..It's very funny .. Here it is:

Serena Williams Likes Rafael Nadal's Booty
Serena posted a couple of hilarious tweets while watching Rafa/Roger.
1. Wow Nadal and his booty is killing it. He's amazing.
2. Me and Nadal are Booty siblings. We see cheek to cheek.
;D ;D ;D
