How sad that Sjogren’s syndrome – an autoimmune disease that causes debilitating joint pain, swelling, numbness and fatigue – forced Venus to withdraw from this tournament (and may force her to retire from the sport). Lil’ sis Serena should do the family proud though – she seems a lock to win the title.
You’d think someone on Nadal’s team (maybe his girlfriend) would tell him to wear a jockstrap because his habit of digging his bikini briefs from his ass between points is pretty disgusting. Anyway, I’m pulling for Federer to win his 17th Grand Slam.
