Seriously?

For some reason recent goings on in OZ brought out the serious-side of this blogger. So while I'm off whipping up a post about all things mourning & melancholia (with jokes, of course), here are a few not-so-serious images that I just couldn't resist posting. 


Why is this a thing? Seriously.

Oh ye Gods of Sport, help me understand your ways. And then let me help you change them.

But I'm glad that this seems to also be a thing: 

More puppies! And look, they seem to be channeling the tennis spirit, no? #TheKeyToDogginess)

And more Ferru working on his forehead-stripe and winning more tennis matches! (You gave us all a good scare today, Chili Pepper. Yes, you did. Alls well that ends well, of course, but let's see if we can't get back to straight sets next round, okay?)

This is the first picture of Richard Gasquet I've ever liked. Discuss. 

For a great impersonation of Gasquet's serve, Gael's tucked elbow, other French players (and for some reason, Andy Roddick) check out this Roland Garros video. Thanks to Mariposaxprs for the link. 

Is it me, or does he actually look like Duckie?  

Don't worry Duckie, you didn't get the girl, but everybody likes you better.

Congrats on your win, Kei! Your coach, Brad Gilbert, must be pretty proud of you, right?

KEI NISHIKORI: We finished.

Q. You finished?
KEI NISHIKORI: Yeah.

Q. At the end of the year?
KEI NISHIKORI: Kind of, yeah.

Clear as mud. Kind of. Yeah.

High IQ, low visibility.

 Oh, Marion... you make me smile. Seriously.
