Francesca Schiovonne, Robin Soderling, Gael Monfils and David Nabalndian all said adios to the London lawns yesterday. But match of the day was the one between Marcus Baghdatis and Novak Djokovic. The crowd on centre court was in frenzy. Definitely a match to remember it was. Captivating, dramatic, funny and top notch! It was unfortunate that, like all matches, it had to come to an end, and one player had to lose, and it was sadly Baghdatis.
Well done Novak Djokovic! This is your time to shine...make sure you shine brightly!
Play resumes Monday the 27th of June.

Wimby day four.
*Day four at the London lawns saw the Roland Garros reigning champion, Li Na, and the former Wimbledon champ, Lleyton Hewitt, out of the tournament.
*The Williams' Lioness came back from a set down to win her second round match against Miss booby, Simona Halep.
*The Feds express is on a smooth cruise. No problem there.

Wimby day two.
Things get sugary at the tennis lawns in London.
Today we saw the former world number one, Jelena Jankovic, exit the most sought after slam in a most heart-shattering way. I felt her pain, man. I so felt it! The Serb chick can't seem to swing the racket right no matter how much blood and sweat she puts into her efforts these days. Well, I don't know... It's disappointing really.
Anyhow, while Miss Jankovic was wallowing in a muck of defeat, Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Lleyton Hewitt and Novak Djokovic celebrated their effortless wins.
It was a great day hampered with great matches. But the most exclusive moment came when Serena Williams, against all odds, surprised both herself and earth with an incredible win after dropping a set in her opening match. Centre court was in raptures. The defending champion was in tears, and I'm sure everyone who watched her hit her final ace cried with her. After everything Serena has been through the past year, after surviving blood clots in her lungs, the universe had doubts about her coming back to the courts. But just like a fighter she is, she fought hard and beat the odds to come back.
I hope she so wins it!!!

Wimby day one.
Indeed, grass is so much greener at Wimbledon!
The men's world number one, Raphael Nadal, began with the defence of his title today on centre court. He played against Michael Russell of US and won in straight sets. It really was a smooth cruise for the sexy Spaniard.
Venus Williams, the older of the mighty Williams sisters, graced court number two with not only her stylish presence, but also her vixenish attitude. The American wasted no time in pulverising her opponent in a very sore manner that left the crowd shaking heads.
Her sister Serena opens play tomorrow at noon against Aravane Rezai of France. Such a tricky slammer, miss Rezai...but I believe in Serena!
Francesca Schiovonne had one huge scare but managed to find her way back into the match and won it!
Andy Murray also advanced to the second round...
Ayi, basi ndatopa!

WIMBLEDON!
You know when you are so happy you want to cry? Yeah, that; exactly how I'm feeling now.
It's all got everything to do with how much I love Wimbledon - the poshiest slam of the year - that begins tomorrow at noon. I can't wait!
Both Serena and Venus Williams are back with an aim to destroy!
Let's meet tomorrow on that prestigious grass!
Love you all!!

Hard love...
On bank holiday Monday last week, the girls and I had a very interesting, productive heart to heart talk about relationships. It all began with me asking one of the girls who has a Nigerian boyfriend if it were true what they say that "once a woman goes Nigerian she never comes back". The rest of the girls assented to the statement except for one who told us she once went Nigerian but managed to come back. But she said, of course, her coming back wasn't not without a big emotional war...
"What really is it about Nigerian dudes that turn women into potty?" I carried on with my inquisition.
"It's cuz they got big packages..." said one girl. She is married to a white guy but still seeks bedroom satisfaction from Nigerian men.
"Yes they got big packages but they know not how to use them...all they know is fibs fibs fibs," said the girl who once was into Nigerians but came back...
The discussion went on to a point where I learnt that it's not the big packages that make these men from Western Africa popular with women but their incredible abilities to fib. And it seems most of us women, like Rihanna, love being lied to. I have no idea why, but it's a shame.
From there we headed on to a more delicate subject of men who hit their women. All the girls except me agreed on a desperate fact that "when a man hits you it means he loves you". What RUBBISH!!! Men who hit their wives are nothing but useless, low self-esteemed, low-life cowards. I said as much to my buddies and they weren't impressed.
One of them who is a party animal told us her husband beats her up every time she comes back from an outing. I asked her why she takes all the abuse, and she said it's because she knows she's the one who is wrong and deserves the beatings. And I was totally appalled! Seriously, I thought the days when women took that kind of crap from men went with the dinosaurs... But Alas...
I told the girls exactly that and they all accused me of living in my own bubble. One of them told me point blank that if I haven't been hit by a man it means I haven't been loved enough.
Really et truly...
The more things change the more they stay the same indeed! It's disheartening to know that there are still some women out there who are willing to be hit and lied to in the name of love.
