Yeah, I know we usually have a Kooyong/Bong title, but we can do that next week. This week, Andy is in Hawaii (Kona region), and he needs sunscreen while he works out and gets tuned up. Hopefully, he's using the right products and applying it liberally before he gets dressed. When we say we want him to wear more colors, we don't mean a lobster red skintone.

Trying not to start off wrong in Kooyong.

Not many years left near your peak Andy! 2008 will be a telling year. They sped up the court surfaces that Aussie too, it should play more like Decoturf. Lets go Andy in Melbourne!

Actually the people who are playing on it are saying it's not actually faster, just lower-bouncing and is more consistent throughout weather conditions. Mardy and some others are complaining it's slow, actually.

Similarly I guess. Maybe the AO surface will speed up a bit after people practice on it and some of the roughness from the new surface goes away.... But it shouldn't be an injury monster like Rebound Ace at least

Fee LOL

Sadly, although Fruit of the Earth makes some of my favorite body lotions, they make horrible sunscreens and no one should use them (unless they have recently changed their formulas and added the proper ingredients).

I've been without power since Friday morning (at a cafe right now), so I haven't spoken to my Hawaiian boy. Not sure who may or may not have left the island on Friday (but he definitely should have if he wants to start preparing for Kooyong).

I'm glad he doesn't waste time whining over court speeds, i find it tiresome d:

I love Marat and everything, but that is just embarrassing. I know tennis towels more dedicated to the tour than Safin.

Re: Andy needs sunscreen (for the Aussie Summer season). First stop: Hawaii

Tennis is here? *wakes up and starts paying attention*

Andy isn't in Melbourne yet? Psh, why did I make that a question, I estupido no? Of course he isn't. ;)

disclaimer: i need to ask fewer questions, it seems!

Re: Andy needs sunscreen (for the Aussie Summer season). First stop: Hawaii

eek :eek: be safe, fee!

i've never used that brand but why are the ingredients bad? that tube says UVA/UVB protection?

Re: Andy needs sunscreen (for the Aussie Summer season). First stop: Hawaii

Doesn't matter what the tube says, it's what the ingredient list on the back says. Last time I looked at FoE Sunscreen, it did not contain titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, or avobenzone in the active ingredients.

I have power back! And thankfully, as bad as it was in So Cal, it seems you got a little bit less of a smackdown than we did, which is good. The next two storms are supposed to be much wimpier, then I think we get a day or two of sunshine. Gas heating is a wonderful thing!

Gotcha ;)

Yeah it wasn't nearly as bad here as they were saying, I mean it rained two nights in a row heavily but not at all yesterday and not at all right now. So that's good I guess for the burn areas. Glad you have your power back!

Raina, your guess is as good as ours :sobbing:

Re: Andy needs sunscreen (for the Aussie Summer season). First stop: Hawaii

If it really happened :lol:
At last count, Roger Federer, Marat Safin, Ivan Ljubicic, Fernando Gonzalez and the Williams women had landed
in Melbourne. Maria Sharapova is believed to be arriving today and her good friend (but absolutely not boyfriend) Andy Roddick was expected last night.
