que pasa general anikh.
I saw some pics on twitter that suggest that Andy is training in Key Biscayne.
Indeed, herc darling. Some pictures here. Unlike Anikh, I back up my stories with pictures, you see. Muhahahahhaha :p
At the airport with a fan...
With a fan...
With the team at the gym. You can spot Momo there.
Ooh, she is awfully close, Emma. I do believe she is touching him. You'd better get to Toronto post haste, otherwise it may be too late. -

Really cool pics Emma. Thanks. Yes much better than my efforts. Thank goodness I at least got those Paris pics across. Otherwise I dont know what you would think of me :-).
Oh yes sounds great plans for next year. I dont drink alcohol but I know you have some exotic drinks still in mind :-).
Right people to support Clay :-).
What a lovely dress to show off her baby bump. I had seen some articles, but no pictures. They must have just released them.
I don't drink much alcohol either. Only wine and only on some weekends when I am with friends or trying to take some stress off. A bit of red wine is actually very good for health - both men and women. Anyway, if we do go for drinks then I'll order some milk for you and you can order a glass of wine for me. Ha ha.
Anyway, I was teasing you about the pictures, really. I believe Nole has sold his wedding pictures to a magazine for $500,000 and I believe this money along with all the gifts are all being donated to Djokovic Foundation. So once the pictures come out, am sure we'll know who was the best man and if Andy was indeed there.
I have a couple of pictures here but it's only Nole and Jelena. Hope you guys enjoy it. It's so cute.

Let's see...what else I can write about? Oh I found it....
Dear Anikh, why oh why do you not have a girlfriend? Still afraid of commitment? Opposite doesn't attract? Don't believe in monogamy? Cruising is fun? lolol. Don't kill me please. I come in peace.
Well, if it's any comfort, our very own herc darling is on the same boat.
And me too. Maybe this place should a place for all the singles. Because Shank is single too. Nikki is not in a relationship yet though she's under the grand illusion that she is. lolol(I kid!) TT is single too because she's divorced. I mean do you not see the pattern???
Baron comes here once in a blue moon so he doesn't count. Besides, you can't trust a man who's into pole dancing though somehow suits the profile that of a single man, eh? Now I wonder. lol
Should I rename it to Emma's Cafe for Singles? Please subscribe at your own discretion? Drinks are on the house and so is milk?
Funny insights on the singleness of Camelot. I am separated, not divorced yet. I've been married twice, both against my will, LOL, but the truth is, I prefer the single state and will never get married again. The reason is that I've been told that I think like a man. I don't need a lot of together time and prefer my mate have his own interests. I don't like to babysit or be babysat. There is a freedom to being single that appeals to me. When in a relationship I find myself secretly resenting the 24/365 process, it's such a drag. -

Oh lol I started a new thread by mistake :-).
Dont know what happened. Emma sorry I thought it was part of this thread and was just another post. I called it Emma Cafe :-).
Maybe should have called it 'singles' following recent chats :-). -

I know. You never fooled me for a minute. I find you an interesting, fascinating, and multifaceted person, that always keeps my interest. I am sincerely glad that you're back
.
I blush and thank you for being so kind. And I think you made our baron very jealous (it's a kind of a joke that I don't think even baron will get it. Haha).
I find you considerate, thoughtful and very, very kind. I like your writing a great deal. They always make a very good reading. You are also very good at giving out praises and that takes a very big heart. And I am very glad that despite your health issues, as you've mentioned in your next post, you are able to find some time for us and for this forum. Thank you for that. It isn't easy I know but it just shows your commitment level a great deal. Thank you! -

Have you seen this? Madonna copying Agnetha's outfit? Haha. She was highly influenced by Agnetha no doubt.
too bad madonna does not have Agnetha's voice.
but you are right. she is a copy cat.

First off, Emma. I haven't been around that much myself as I have been going some very freakish health problems. They came out of nowhere and without any warning signals. So for months I have been incapacitated to a large degree. It's a long story.
But as to my plummeting stage, it only lasts for a minute because everyone on the tour deserves their time in the sun. I feel it's selfish to want my fave to win everything and am puzzled by people who jealously guard their favorites and hate their rivals. It's just a sport after all.
I too was shocked by Rafa's early exit, but was glad he at least made it to the second week. I loved your post. You have such a nice way of analyzing things. For me the only thing I like about the grass is that it looks so pristine on the first few days, but I don't find the play that tantalizing. I prefer the sure-footedness of the clay, and hard court makes me think of the pounding that the athletes have to endure. Like you, I am sad that we didn't get the Rafa/Federer semi because it would have been interesting to see how that panned out, but we'll never know now.
As to Andy, it was also an inexplicable loss, so I chalk that up to another "it wasn't meant to be." I agree that Andy seemed to put more focus on the French, and that in itself was odd, but he will be none the worse for it. What this does, in Andy's case is put more fire in his belly. I don't think he'll be that pleased with his major results this year, even if it was a year of transitioning back on the tour.
And yes, it was When Andy won Wimbledon and it was so emotional that I realized that I wasn't getting the full effect. My mind kept wandering to that scene in the school and how terrified those children must have felt, especially after the fact. I watched it back to back and then deleted it, because I cried the second time too, and it was just too much.
But, it was a lovely documentary, wasn't it? So well written and it really showed you Andy's character and persona. That didn't surprise me, because that's how I saw Andy anyway. He was so funny talking about how he and Kim kept the paparazzi away, that sounded so Andy, didn't it? He is such a great person, I don't understand how people don't get him and Pete. They've always been like open books to me. I just relate to them. Always have.
Hi TT, really sorry about your health problems. I really hope things get a lot better for you. Know that my best wishes are with you.
It's really tricky to win back to back RG and Wimbledon given the two surfaces are so vastly different from each other and the short period of time to adjust in between the two Slams. And it's even trickier for Nadal given that he tends to play the most during the clay season and also, wins more. So the losses are not highly unexpected. Sampras would always give his 50% at RG since he was far more keen on winning Wimbledon, his most favourite Slam. And after he lost 1996 Wimbledon, he even showed less interest in RG. It's just to each his own. Rafa prefers RG, Sampras prefers Wimbledon etc.
I do think hard is the only surface where it rewards all players. I remember in the 90s, players who were very good on clay, would do considerably well on hard (Corretja comes to mind immediately. Moya did quite well at the AO and Guga was no pushover on hard either) whereas the same bunch of players would go out quite early on grass at Wimbledon. And today we see no difference. Nadal, Ferrer, Verdasco, Lopez and so many others play quite well on hard and apart from Nadal, not a single player made a serious impression on grass particularly at Wimbledon. So it's good to have hard courts around because both grass courters and clay courters can benefit on this surface and it helps that majority of the surfaces are either clay or hard. Though those who are very good on grass do not benefit as much. I believe if there were a couple of Masters on grass, Sampras would have won those on a regular basis. But anyway....
I am really glad you like Andy so much. I know your support of him is very true or in other words, you are a genuine fan of Andy and that makes me very happy. He's struggling a bit right now and I really it has everything to do with his motivation level being down quite a bit due to his Wimbledon win, but let's see what's in store for us. I think he'll be very keen on 2015 AO but personally I'd like him to pick up things right now.
I've supported 3 players in my life - Sampras, Hewitt and Murray and quite unfortunately none of them are or were all that popular. It doesn't bother me though because I am really into players' popularity. I am much more into the kind of game they play and the type of honesty they bring to the table. People are just into more mainstream stuff you know, Federer, Dimitrov, Agassi etc. The only exception might have been Borg in his time.
It was very lovely and touching documentary, yes. Especially when I think about how Andy will enjoy this looking back once he retires from tennis. And of course us the fans too. -

I would love to go to the USO, but the older I get the less I want to travel...anywhere. I often think that if I won an exotic trip I would trade it in for the cash money, just because I don't like the hustle and bustle of planning, traveling, hotel rooms, etc.
The only way I would go anywhere is to take my son so that he can experience it, but he is worse than me. I did do some traveling when I was younger and loved it, but now I'm too complacent. I get just as much joy as looking at the pictures from the comfort of my bed, which I know is not the same. Alas, I have gotten lazy and complacent. It's a shame, but I haven't been able to shake it. Odd, huh?
You should only do the things that make you really happy so don't worry about traveling all that much. It can be tiring too and if you are not feeling well, then it will make you tired just thinking about it. I remember one time I fell so sick that staying in bed made me the most happy and I used to wonder how people had so much energy to do all those things they were doing at that time.
But I do hope you make it to USO at least one time and see some of your favourite players since you really seem to love the idea of it. I really love USO. If both Sampras and Andy weren't so into Wimbledon, I probably would have picked USO first and then Wimbledon. I just love the atmosphere there. It's wild and really lively. I don't see it at Wimbledon. Wimbledon is bit quiet and reserved though when Andy won Wimbledon in 2013, it came alive. That was electric. -

If I could only pick one major to go to, it would be Australia. It looks like a fun, raucous time. The people really get into it and it looks like it's all in the spirit of fun. I smile all the way through the AO whenever they show the people and the food. The other majors just don't have the personality to me, except the USO night matches, but it looks like a lot of drinking and rowdy behavior to me.
Oh I just read this post. And there I was making assumptions you like USO the most! Haha. I do feel AO has become quite attractive over the years and the crowd seem to be on their best behaviour and tend to stay neutral most of the time. It's my 3rd preference and I am sure I will make it one day.
I agree about the night matches at the USO. I do think it gets quite rowdy at times. I'd be terrified to go there and attend one of the night matches alone. That's why I might just need Anikh to keep me safe.

too bad madonna does not have Agnetha's voice.
but you are right. she is a copy cat.
Although Madonna too is/was quite successful in her days and is one of the best selling artists of all time, she doesn't have the voice or the beauty to be compared to Agnetha. Agnetha was flawless. She was tall and slender. Madonna I believe is only 5'3".
And the voice of Agnetha is a direct gift from God. She might just be the best vocalist of all time. I'd put Frida on the 2nd lead since I love her husky voice too.
Agnetha is born talented whereas Madonna had to work really hard for it. Two very different things, I do like Madonna though but I worship Agnetha. She's Goddess.
I also like Debbie Harry quite a bit. Very beautiful and talented singer. I am typically more into male singers but these three singers I simply adore because they are just that good. -
