Sweet 16


Roger Federer won the Australian Open Sunday beating Andy "I'm another choke artist" Murray. What is it with the Andy's? Anyway, Roger is now officially the "Best Men's Tennis Player to have Ever Graced the Court." With his 16th Grand Slam title under his belt, Roger celebrated all night with family and friends. Look for Federer to sweep all four Slams this year.

Here's the deal - Roger is a great guy off the court. Generous and funny, people love him. Who else drops a grand on pizza parties for the ball kids? On the court - we feel he's ruined tennis finals for years. Finals with Roger (with very few exceptions) are so lop-sided that its not FUN to watch. The matches leading up the finals are fantastic 5 set barnburners that make the sport fun, exciting, awesome and the reason why we LOVE LOVE LOVE tennis. Watching Roger sweep every final in 3 sets sucks. It just does.

Poor Andy Murray. He had to cut his 2nd place speech short when he was overcome with tears apologizing to all of the U.K. for losing. Memorable quote "I can cry like Roger, I just can't play like him". AWWW... He was then comforted by Federer and the look on Andy's face said it all. SHUT UP, ROGER!

Serena Williams won again. Her 12th Grand Slam. She is on course to becoming the greatest women's tennis player of all time. It's a shame really that she has such an asshole personality. We don't even care that she opened schools for disadvantaged kids because it comes off as insincere and a PR gimmick. "Hello - Serena - Oprah did that already." We totally can't stand her. We're sad she's tied Billie Jean King's record of 12 slams and will cry when she beats Martina Navratilova's record of 18 Grand Slam titles. We just LOVE Martina and Billie Jean!
