World Tour Finals : Hottest in the Gala

Again, I haven't written a blog post in ages. Shame on me! But the ATP World Tour Finals are here and I can not miss an event like this. The Top 8 players and teams are here, fighting for the huge year-end trophy and entertaining the whole sport-passionated world. The actual tournament has just started, but the WTF-Fever has started a long time ago. The players have had their Gala and they looked gorgeous, I must say. Here is my Top 3 of the best-looking guys at the Gala, in singles and doubles.

SINGLES

Roger Federer

No surprise here, for anyone, I'm sure about that. Roger has this native beauty, elegance and dignity. He doesn't need a suit to be like this. He only needs to be himself. But with a suit on, the effect is guaranteed.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

Oh, how I've missed this hair of his! The fro is not back, but still, those few curls are so pretty and so much prettier than the rest of the year! I don't know what you think, but in my opinion, JWT is a great-looking, funny, sweet guy, with a plus: a gorgeous smile! :)

Tomas Berdych

I know this blue-eyed Czech would be in the top of many girls all-around the world. What I like about Tomas's physical appearance is that he is so tall and athletic and he's got this aura around him. When you look at him, you don't know if he's the shy, innocent guy or the notorious bad boy, and I think that makes him quiet attractive.

DOUBLES

Robert Lindstedt & Horia Tecau

This year, Robert and Horia mark their first appearance at the World Tour Finals and, hopefully, not the last. And how else could you look when you get there for the first time if not fabulous? The blond blue-eyed Swede and the tall dark-haired Romanian looked definetly better than ever and have had their lovely smiles on all the time. WIN!

Bob & Mike Bryan

Of course The Golden Twins couldn't have missed this top. Some people are truly blessed! Like being one of the best teams in the history of tennis was not enough, they are also very good-looking. Even when they are not all dressed-up and wearing only some plain shirts and caps, they make you want to have a closer look. So you can imagine what happens when they throw the caps away and put on a nice suit. ;)

Jurgen Melzer & Philipp Petzschner

My love/hate team. Both handsome, both great players, so why would there be a 'hate' part as well? They always seem to beat my favourites. Singles or doubles, Jurgen makes sure there isn't any favourite of mine left out of his 'Players I have beaten' list. But even so, I just can't not like them. They are so good, so pretty and so adorable that this thing is truly impossible.

Here we are... Semifinals/finals at Wimbledon

Only three days and Wimbledon, the third Grand Slam of the year will be over too. It's been a Wimbledon filled with surprises, rain, drooling over players, if you know what I mean (I know you know what I mean).

The ladies' singles final will feature three-times Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova and new star Petra Kvitova. Since I like none of them, I will not watch and I will not support anyone. Here.

In the gentlemen's competition, three of the first four seeds qualified in the semifinals. The biggest (and only, actually) surprise was Tsonga beating Federer in three, after Roger had a two sets lead. Good for you, Jo!

In the first semifinal, we will see Andy Murray fighting for a place in the final of his home-tournament against defending champion Rafa Nadal. It might seem like Mission:Impossible, but "Impossible is Nothing", no?

In the second semifinal, we will have the chance to watch the coolest people around, Jo-Willy Tsonga and Nole Djokovic. For me, this is the hardest one to choose a favourite. If Novak wins today, he finally becomes No.1 for the first time in his career! And he would be the single world No.1 since 2004, other than Nadal and Federer. So this is huge! And I strongly believe he deserves it.

Our boy Horia Tecau and our... adopted boy Robert Lindstedt, as I like to call them, are shining again on the British grass from Wimbledon. After making history for Romania last year (first Romanian to play in a Wimbledon final in the past 37 years), Horia and his partner Brad equaled their performance this year. "We hope to win one more match than last year," Horia said before the tournament. Well, you have your chance. But it won't be easy.

Brad and Horia's opponents in the final will be either the magical twins Bob and Mike Bryan, 'cause I can't find any other words to describe their careers, either Zimo and Mika Llodra. All four of them, specialists in doubles. As for me, I have always wanted to see a match between Lindstedt/Tecau and Bob and Mike. But I would have prefered it to be in a small tournament, not a Grand Slam final.

Well, that's it for today. Make sure you watch all the interesting matches! You don't want to lose anything. :)

Monte Carlo : Crazy first round

Is loss the new black?! Seemed trendy in the first matches at Monte Carlo. Favourites' loss, to be exact. Can you imagine what might happen in the next rounds? Pff, where is Nole when you need him?

Haase def. Davydenko, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4. I miss the old Kolya... I really do.

Stepanek def. Baghdatis, 3-6, 6-1, 7-6.

Mayer def. Youzhny, 6-3, 2-6, 6-3. Wait WHAT??!!

Gulbis def. Dolgopolov, 61, 6-4. I support you ONCE and you?!

Tsonga def. Monaco, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2. Well, my pick was Pico. But it's Jo! You know, JO! Although I have to say: bring the fro back!

Raonic def. Llodra, 6-3, 0-6, 6-0. Nice match, girls! Again, my pick was Llodra. I mean, who knew the guy would be that amazing on clay too? Believe me, if you need one more confirmation after all the others, he is the next big thing! Vamos, come on, allez Miiiilooooos!!!
