As second week of tennis at Flushing Meadows, New York progresses, I'm beginning to wonder about some of the player's competence to swing a racket and earn a proper prestigous living.
Will Jelena Jankovic ever win a grand slam?
What about Elena Dementieva, will she ever get to the very top of the rankings?
Will the sexy Maria Sharapova ever get her lethal serve back?
And how long before Roger Federer's era comes to an end, before Raphael Nadal takes over?
How long till Andy Murray puts an end to Britain's grand slam famine?

Colin:(
All he had to give was love,
and more love.
He was the first one to kiss me goodmorning when the sun rose,
and the last to kiss me goodnight when it set.
He never got tired, or bored of seeing my face.
All he had to give was love,
and more unconditional love.
And he didn't ask for anything in return...
Only a big bone to entertain himself.
I miss him so terribly.
It feels weird not having to prepare his food.
It's hard not having him around.
My baby Colin,
not even an ocean of tears could describe the pain I have deep inside over losing you.
It's a heartache beyond description.
and more love.

Flushing Meadows 2010.
The final Slam of the year commence today in New York city - A concrete jungle where dreams are made of:)
For the first time, I'm not as excited about a grand slam.
Really, how prestigously enjoyable can tennis be without Serena Williams, the number one female player?
Ok, I adore men's tennis too, but it can be tedious.
But hey, let's watch this.
I hope V makes up for her sis' absence!

Week 2 of the US Open.
Its week 2 of the final Grand Slam of the year, who do we see go? Who doesn't have enough tricks up their sleeves?
Week one has taken with it our female world number one, Dinara Safina, the tennis beauty, Maria Sharapova and our Grass queen, Venus Williams. So sad!
All the men's favourites are still kicking ass, except for Andy Roddick who gave in to defeat on Saturday night.
The journey still continues. But there will only be one winner at the end of the day.

End of week one at Flushing Meadows.
As the first week of US tennis Grand Slams draws closer to an end, things get even hotter on the courts.
We've had some interesting plays, and surreal tennis out-fits. We've lost Anna Ivanovic, Jelena Jankovic, Elena Dementieva...all top 10 players.
Serena Williams continues defending her crown with bitterness beyond comprehension.
Her sister Venus is also turning her opponents from top tennis players into miserable losers.
As I write this, the annoying Miss Azarenka has been kicked hard in the back, and out of the Slam, she's broken her racket.....ha ha. Well done, Schivone! And thanks for saving us all from Azarenka's irritating hundred zim dollar attitude.
In the men's side, the new dad, Roger Federer is having a cruise of his tennis career. And his number 1 rival, Mr Raphael Nadal is back with all the venom in the world.....it should be interesting.
Andy Murray is also doing well, currently on court as am writing, 5-2 in his favour in the first set.
I can't wait for Venus' game at midnight. But am not looking forward to seeing her dress.

Time for Ivanovic to retire.
I think the time has come for Anna Ivanovic to concentrate more on modelling, rather than tennis. Her game has gone embarassingly rusty since her fortunate French Open win and she doesn't seem to be improving. Her first round loss in New york just emphasizes the point; Anna should retire from tennis.
Its so unbelievable that the Serbian chic has been a top seed before...but, anyway, me and a million others knew she only got there by default.
The infamous world number 1, Miss Dinara Safina survived one big scare of her opening match. She was 4-1 down in the deciding set, sweating her skin off. But as they always say, experience plays a big role on the court, Dinara mystically found a way to turn things around. I am more than certain her opponent, Olivia Rogowska will have a couple of sleepless nights over a big victory that was almost in her grasp.
I haven't seen Maria Sharapova's on court yet, but I hear she is back with one stylish bang.
But all in all, I hate Venus' pink dress. I think its the ugliest one I ever saw. Uglier than the one Maria Van Trapp was wearing on her first day as a governess...

At Flushing Meadows.
Oh, men, I just love Us open tennis Grand Slam!
The fact that the matches are at night makes it more convenient for tennis freaks who work during the day like me.
Its on again from tomorrow, the 31st of August.
If you are more or less like moi, you know its time to get seriously HIGH!
