Maria Sharapova Is Hot

By oddJoe ⋅ January 25, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Yes, I know that tennis star Maris Sharapova is an attractive young woman, but I’m saying she was hot today. It was 93 degrees in Melbourne for the Australian Open finals. That’s mighty warm even if you aren’t running side to side on a tennis court smashing a little ball over a net.
And speaking of […]

Sharapova and Ivanovic: Best Looking Tennis Finals In Forever

By oddJoe ⋅ January 24, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Aussie tennis fans are going to get an eyeful this weekend when Maria Sharapova faces Ana Ivanovic in the final match of the Australian Open. They might just be the two sexiest women in tennis and maybe in all of sports. I’m really not sure who to root for on Saturday, sexy tennis babe on […]

Beasts From The East Dominate In Australia

By oddJoe ⋅ January 23, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Back during the Cold War, the West feared an invasion or nuclear annihilation from Russia and Eastern Europe. Instead they waited for thirty years and then took over women’s tennis.
Venus Williams was knocked out of the Australian Open today by fourth-seed Ana Ivanovic in straight sets 7-6, 6-4, setting up a semi-finals match against Daniela […]

Rate The Mate: James Blake and Heather Mitts

By oddJoe ⋅ August 25, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Just a couple days ago we brought you the news of how soccer star Heather Mitts managed to raise the profile of her native Cincinnati by being the Queen City’s most eligible bachelorette (at least in the eyes of Forbes magazine), but now comes word that maybe the US women’s team star isn’t so eligible […]

Federer breaks when needed

By Sill ⋅ July 8, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Wimbeldon is officially complete. Roger Federer was able to take the match against the crafty left-hander Raphael Nadal… also known as the Federer Krytonite. Nadal has beaten Federer 5 out of the last 13 matches… But today Federer was the better man, barely.
Federer was pushed to […]

Wimbledon Update

By Sill ⋅ July 6, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Men’s Draw - Big names are still in it. Federer, Nadal - 1,2 are still in the hunt for the crown….. Federer (who I’d put the money on) plays Gasquet in the semi’s. Nadal plays someone else and we’ll see a rematch of last year’s final… Meaning […]

Federer FINALLY wins!

By Sill ⋅ May 24, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

I don’t know how I missed this but just last week Roger Federer FINALLY won. And by WON I mean, won the tournament. He’d gone 4 whole tournaments without winning a tournament.
The interesting part of this story is that he actually beat Nadal, on clay. Yes, on clay. […]

Federer Can’t Solve Nadal

By Sill ⋅ April 22, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Federer lost yet again to Rafael Nadal on clay. Apparently Federer is the best player in the world, except on clay. That’s where Rafael Nadal is the best.
Is Federer really this bad at Tennis? It seems that he’s lost more this year then all of last year. […]

Federer is hating life . . . and Canas

By oddJoe ⋅ March 27, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Apparently tennis superstar Roger Federer has found the New England Patriots to his pre-Super Bowl winning Indianapolis Colts. The relatively unknown and previously banned Guillermo Canas beat Federer for a second time in as many matches, besting the #1 player 7-6, 2-6, 7-6 at the Sony Ericsson Open in Florida.
The Argentinian player was quoted as […]
