Curly Sue

...

The Jap guy had this beautiful old camera with duo lenses (or it looked like it,for all I know it could've been a fancy water bottle)-one that looked like it belonged in a glass case.There was this aura about him,a lot of people were following the rally from the front trying to keep up,and there stood Mr Jap perched on a bench or a road divider-eyes scathing and sharp,surveying the crowd like a sniper finding its hit.As for the bottom pic,this huge flag obstructred my lens mid-snap,and I thought the tint effect it produced look cool.

At Rod Laver yesterday,we got to watch 2 matches-Venus Williams vs Carla Suarez Navarrao from Spain the first,the latter player was battling World No 6 and honestly,noone thought she had a chance in Mars,she's not much of a looker and looked frail and bony compared to long-legged Venus.Dubbed Curly Sue by the group of guys seated next to us,she lost the first set (an expectedly disappointing 6-2) but went on to win the second set with 3-6,by this time the whole audience had switched their support to this unfamiliar name who had Venus running about the court,panting and screaming,while she maintained a creepy calmness and barely even squeeked.It was amazing and I can't describe how the ambience there in Rod Laver was,Carla hardly moved but had a crazy iron smash and went on to win over Venus in the third set.
As for the second game,Murray vs Granollers,it as devoid of drama and Murray was way,way to solid a player and the court was already half empty by the time he won the second set.

I predict a life-altering weekend.
