So after 8 and a half months I have resurrected my personal blog. I’m not sure why I am telling anybody that since it’s not like anybody has been checking my blog every day antiipating my comeback. Anyway, I write for a website called Associated Content and also have a New York Mets blog with my friend and colleague Brian Joura. Between the two of those I’m not sure how often I’ll be able to write on this blog and when I do it will probably be very brief thoughts.
My thoughts today surround the Australian Open where it seems they are trying to hand the title to Serena Williams. In the fourth round Serena Williams was getting stomped but it was very hot and Serena’s opponent got sick. Eventually Serena’s opponent could not go on and Serena got he forfeit even though she was losing. In the next round it was hot again and this time Serena was the one having trouble. They then decided, “well if Serena is doing well then we need to close the roof!” So they closed the roof Serena comes from behind and wins. What the heck? If leaving the roof open benefits Serena then they leave it open If closing the roof benefits Serena then they close it.
Now in the semi-finals it’s been decided they will keep the roof closed. Gee, I wonder why that is? Could it be because the great and mighty Serena Williams is out of shape and can’t take the heat? Serena Williams should have been eliminated two rounds ago but they are doing their best to hand Serena the title.
And don’t even get me started on the biased American commentators on ESPN. Let’s see Serena is out of shape. Hasn’t been the same in years. Elena Dementieva is playing the best tennis of her life and won two tournaments already this year. Elena Dementieva has beaten Serena Williams the last three meetins. CLEARLY the great and mighty Serena Williams should be the favorite. Actually, I guess if the Australian Open is going to cheat for her then Serena should be the favorite.
