I really don't like Jankovic, so I'm fine with her being out.

^ It is a surprise though, especially first round!

Go Fed! Slow start in first set against a new player who has been pretty hot of late, but he served brilliantly throughout and took the tiebreak.

I look for Fed to settle in now and cruise in a routine 3 against his young opponent.

And Wozniacki is up as well

Its her personality or attitude that bugs me. Her happy go lucky, sweetness comes across as very false/phony to me. Some people are naturally happy or pleasant people (Ana Ivanovic & Caroline Wozniacki come to mind), but Jankovich's feels like an act.

So, Fed played his way through mediocre first set and then cruised.

My girl Sharapova is safely through first round.

And the Joker looked very clean.

Fairly true to form after 2 days

I have never liked Serena. While I am glad she has recovered from a long string of very unpleasant injuries, I did not miss her presence in the tennis world while she was gone.

I know many people who feel as you do.

I realized how much I missed her (and Venus) when I noticed that I hadn't watched a match in almost as long as she was out. I didn't even watch Andy's (Murray) matches. I just didn't care about tennis for that time.
Like I said earlier, she was my introduction to tennis. I admire her determination, strength, and athleticism. I admire Venus' strength, athleticism, and grace. Amidst their ups and downs, their mistakes, and the way others have chosen to treat them, they've done what they needed to do - not only to get where they are, but to plan for their (none tennis related) futures. No one can take that away from them.

As far as their dominance in the sport, its there for a reason. All of the ladies in the field had their opportunities to shine, and apparently (if I am to believe the commentators) no one chose to take it. It is not their responsibility to show how or to allow others to take their place.

I put up the picture to support a player from my adopted country, not because she's a blond doll...it just happened that the only picture I could find of her was of her in a bikini. And that's the real, real truth.

She is certainly extremely pretty, and plays a very effective tennis. I hope that this year on the grass of Wimbledon she does better than the previous times.

No, she is not a doll, but a powerful warrioress.

Indeed, I kinda figured that was the connection

True. She has a very strong game overall IMO and makes some very good tactical decisions. However, mentally, she still has a way to go - she should read Boris Becker's books...
