More On Fashion

Jelena Jankovic gets the fashion award for today. Love her cute yellow dress, with the pale blue sash and slightly ruffled skirt detail. Very nice, feminine but still sporty. And she’s got it going on with matching yellow soles on her shoes, and even a yellow rubber band holding her pony tail.
Good job Jelena.

Her opponent Sofia Arvidsson gets points for matching the tape on her leg to her hot pink Adidas dress.

On the men’s side, I love the way Tsonga wears his hat... with that cool little tilt, and the diamond stud earrings make a statement, but so far, Donald Young has the earring award sewed up.

Check out the sleeve cut out on the new Nike shirt... gotta have good arms to wear this one... Delcic definitely qualifies.

Spent a little time hanging out at the Red Star Café this afternoon. Heineken, Nachos, TV, this is the onsite sports bar at the Open. They say in New York, that if you stand in Times Square long enough you are sure to see someone you know. Well this is for sure true of the Red Star Café. Located just outside the media center in the main plaza area, if you sit here long enough, you will see a lot of people you know. I actually caught up with three people who I’ve been trying to get together with since I arrived.

The Roddick and Santoro match has just started. I think Roddick will win in straight sets, but the contrast in players should make for an interesting match. Roddick, the hardest server in the history of tennis, who plays like a boxer with a one two punch... big serve followed up with a big forehand. And Santoro who is know as the “Magician” for his slice and spin style, hitting with two hands on both sides. At 36, it’s pretty amazing that he is still playing and winning matches, he’s been in the top 100 for fifteen years, and actually won a tour event this summer.

OH MY WORD!! Andy Roddick has just hit a 47 mile and hour serve! Yes, it was an ace. Santoro couldn’t touch it.

Okay, I’m going to go shoot a little of this match … I’ll be back with you soon.

I’m back its 4-1 Roddick and the magician couldn’t pull off any magic tricks against Arods big serve. Grabbed a few snaps of Roddicks player box. His fiancé Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, Brooklyn Decker was all smiles... posing a bit for the camera’s... very pretty, looks a lot like Pete Sampras actress wife. What’s with all these athletes and the blonds ?

Patrick McEnroe looking serious... the Davis Cup Captain will be taking over the coaching job for Roddick during this Open.

Alright!! The match just ended. It’s only 11:05... Early for the US Open. I might get outta here by midnight!
