wimbledon championships 2008 came to an end. what an amazing finale was it, indeed. rafael nadal has finally ended the world number one's run for six consecutive wimbledon titles. yes, the spaniard eventually clinched the grand slam title after a grueling five-hour match. with this win, he becomes the second male tennis player in history (after bjorn borg) to win both the roland garros and wimbledon in the same year! especially since these two grand slams are so close to each other (time and geographical proximity). GO RAFA! :)
since we're on the topic of tennis, i must say i think john mcenroe is such a charmer. hes funny as a commentator and he is an awesome tennis legend. before he retired, he made his mark in the tennis world, fashioning the quote "the ball was on the line" and, of course, displaying great tennis skills. i think he has aged gracefully. he had a fleeting cameo appearance in the movie "you dont mess with zohan", which i must say is a silly movie but superbly hilarious.
moving on to another charming man, mark feuerstein, who starred in the movie "in her shoes", melted my heart. his character in the movie is such a nice guy! and i like nice guys. plus, the im-a-bespectacle-intelligent-attorney combo threw me off my feet.
oh and this is superbly-duperbly-ultra-mega CUTE.
im picking up french. for real.
bonjour. je m'apelle michelle. c'est mon mari. il est richard gasquet. bisous! :)
