No wonder some of these matches go for 3 hours..... take out an hour each game for time spent grabbing the friggin towel on the baseline and hey really dont go for so long... It's gotta be the most annoying part of the game in my opinion...
I love grapes. With grapes, you always get another chance. You know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you’re stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. If you have a crappy grape, no problem-just move on to the next. ‘Grapes: The Fruit of Hope.

I must admit, that is one thing I don't like about tennis. Sure grab the towel after every game, but after every point? Give me a break.

Tsonga is the worst, kinga glad he's gone just for that reason.

You try play tennis in 40 degree heat, it's even hotter on Rod Laver. It's not easy.

Well in defence of my sweet darling Safina she does have a bit of muscle on her (but not too much, more athletic muscle) and isn't muscle about three times heavier than fat? Serena is pretty much a blob.
