I haven't written a post on sport yet and I felt it was about time! I love tennis - been playing it ever since I was like 9 and into high school (although I stopped for a while). Unfortunately, I don't play anymore so I have to watch from the sidelines. There are MANY tennis tournaments that happen over the year and right now is the International Series Gold Tournament at Barcelona, Spain.
Just a bit of background info:
Location: Open Sabadell Atlántico
2008 Dates: April 28 - May 4
Court: Clay
Preceding winner: Rafael Nadal (2005, 2006 & 2007)
Individual Prize Money: 888, 000 Euros (equivalent to US$1,374,002.40)
Today is day 3 in the tournament and so far the results are:
[1] R Nadal (ESP) defeated [16] F Lopez (ESP) 6-4 6-3
[2] D Ferrer (ESP) defeated N Lapentti (ECU) 4-6 6-4 6-3
[14] S Wawrinka (SUI) defeated [3] D Nalbandian (ARG) 6-3 6-1
[6] T Robredo (ESP) defeated [9] G Canas (ARG) 6-1 7-5
[10] N Almagro (ESP) defeated [WC] M Ancic (CRO) 7-6(5) 6-2
D Gremelmayr (GER) defeated [15] D Tursunov (RUS) 6-4 6-0
J Chela (ARG) defeated E Gulbis (LAT) 2-6 6-4 6-3
A Montanes (ESP) defeated [Q] M Kukushkin (RUS) 6-3 3-6 6-3
My man is definitely Rafael Nadal. not only is he hotness in that Spanish way, but he's young and oh-so-talented. He's def. my favorite tennis player by far...Federer can retire at this second for all I care. Tomorrow he's playing Chela and I hope he wins!
