Jeanne, with that avatar you freaked me out making me think I forgot something I posted! But now that I've got my head back on, Lindsay Power!

I thought about how this was already your avatar when I was deciding on how I'd celebrate Roland Garros. I had a couple of other pictures, but that's the best one. It totally embodies her last stand in Paris and is one of my favorite moments.

We'll just confuse that crap out of everyone for the next few weeks with Lindsay's awesome clay court skills!

Grand Slam qualies always kind of leave me a little crestfallen. Just looking at the names of players who used to be in the top 50 and now have to fight just to get in this thing, having the "OH YEAH! I forgot all about him/her" moment and then seeing how many of them lose pretty meekly.

Akgul? Florent Serra? Tommy Haas? Craybas? Gisela Dulko? What are you guys doing in qualies!?!

[enencephoth]

Akgul? Florent Serra? Tommy Haas? Craybas? Gisela Dulko? What are you guys doing in qualies!?!

Ok, Haas and Dulko I get, but Craybas is 37, Serra was never that great, and Akgul, well I won't even go there.

It also gives you the chance to reflect upon players we were told were the next top players, and see how they've yet/never reached the heights expected of them. Bolleterri called Larcher De Brito a Top 10 player. She's 19 now, and outside of her screech, her impact in the tennis world has been de minimus.

I think you got the digits reversed. *tee hee

It's kinda sad is all. How quickly fortunes can change.

Oh for sure, when I saw Larcher de Brito play in Charlottesville last year, I was very disappointed in how basic and one-dimensional her game is. It's really interesting how some players fail to add the tools and strategy to their game that can make them evolve into something more.
