vivid imaginationOh Lordie, that writer was rather pleased they came up with the high school metaphor! :lol:
I wonder what else they tried apart from doubles that ended up being the last attempt?
EXACTLY.that's actually quite nasty since he's married with children and all...
oh yeah without the whole marriage thing they'd be great together but all we can do is but dream:awww:
(don't mind me. I'll go make my bed in DENIAL and dream )
Ouch.Seriously, she's Marat's sister, she needs to win a final as soon as possible or this can be a serious mental problem for her in the future
Never. :lol:I agree most people are like wtf Dina's coach is one harsh taskmaster but she is benefiting from it :shrug: I know she won't fire him, that's almost a given.
yepthat first pic is really cool!!
well said (the 'could you do that in blue' part made me laugh :lol: but I'm sure it happens this way indeed):cuckoo: Yeah, because we all know being a writer is that easy.
She also claims to be a 'fashion designer'.
All celebs are effin' designers these days! I bet they don't know how to sew or even draw a silhouette on a piece of paper. Someone probably does it all for them and they just come in for like an hour or two (hey, if you're also a top athlete, an actress, a writer and attending lots of red carpets you don't have much time to spare!) and they just say yes or no or 'could you do that in blue?'.
Seriously it's a disgrace for REAL designers, people that spend hours and hours studying fabrics and cuts and putting their ideas on paper and then actually execute them.
Dinara beat her sister venus (for the first time!) in one epic, classic clay court match! Best match in a loooooong time! Second consecutive final featuring Dina and Kuzzy! Revenge please :angel:
:haha: maybe, just maybe, she should have feared Patty a teensy-weensy bit. but that's just a guess. :angel:Asked which opponent she feared most, the American quipped: "Probably myself. I always beat myself."
First Serena and her big mounth, now Venus ...fantastic!!! The next is Kuz!!! Dinara's vendetta is almost done :devil:Dinara beat her sister venus (for the first time!) in one epic, classic clay court match! Best match in a loooooong time!

It's not the on court coaching that is annoying - it's Dina's coach onlyCongrats to Dinara !
But I have to say that the on-court coaching is really annoying. Today her coach was there so much that I thought it was a fed cup match...
It's a rule I'm absolutely against ! It's not allowed on the ATP. What does it mean ? Women need help ? Pffft... The WTA should get rid of the on-court coaching. Tennis is a sport that forces you to solve problems by yourself.I don't like on-court coaching at all.
So you think that Vika lost the match because she did not listen to her coach? I bet she figured out for herself that she does not have to let that bad call influence her, but we all know it's always easier said than done...The on court coaching was only highlighted cos Venus doesn't use it at all and because Dina actually listens to her coach (unlike Vika who just gave the match away based on one bad line call and her coach told her to forget it otherwise it was gonna destroy the match- and it did).Venus doesn't question calls which is good for Dina fans but bad for her cos she's so :shrug: She should've had her dad on for her break conversion which was very badDina got to the FO final with no coaching and to the AO final. I think Z should give Dina notes on what to do if a problem arises. Just imagine Dina on Philippe Chatrier opening a brown envelope. "If your serve is shite go to bullet point 4 " etc
It would be great entertainment. :lol:all this talk of on court coaching gave me a sudden image of marat receiving on court coaching and ending up hitting his coach on the head with the racquet :angel:
But it's part of a player's job and part of the beauty of tennis that the player is ALONE on court against his/her opponent and has to rely upon herself/himself alone to win. Tennis is an indiividual sport. Coach is for training, a proper match has to be a totally different experience. On-court coaching doesn't belong in tennis, it makes it totally cheap.Well I don't really agree with you. I think that to coach somone should not only be to train the persone few hours a day. I mean on court coaching is dedicated to Davis Cup, Fed Cup, Soccer, Basket Ball ... But I think that if the player needs the help of his/her coach he or she must have the right to call for advices like in so many sports.
It's not cheating or something like cause the player still the only playing and the choice she or he makes is individual.
So I guess that Dinara needs her coach to find a way to gather all her energy, to find a good strategy or just to be "rassurée".
she won! 6-3 6-2 great match! her first title as #1!!!! :aparty:
