last?
I watched the Nicole Vaidisova/Serena Williams Australian Open match via sTiVo this morning. I noticed two things: 1. there is virtually no crowd noise. Therefore, Tracy should enjoy watching it with me. Or at least be able to tolerate it better.
The other observation was how nice Vaidisova is. There's a basic understanding in tennis that it's not cool to hit the ball off the net. It's certainly not gentleman-like given the subsequent erratic movement of the ball and that tennis should be largely predictable (except when Federer or Henin-Hardenne or Sharapova hits the ball 150 mph right past you). So in her match against Serena Williams yesterday Vaidisova had two mis-hits that hit the net and fell right over into Serena's court, making it impossible for her to get it. Both times she put up her hand and said, "Sorry" and looked like she meant it.
Compare that to NBA basketball or major league baseball where you just pay the fine and beat the crap out of whomever is taunting you.
Vaidisova ended up losing, which means there will be no look-alike contest at these year's Australian Open Final.
