Not a good look

If you're watching the Roger's Cup right now, you're watching Federer and Haase.  What hits me is the linesman behind Haase.  Whoa!  The guy has a gut from here to next week!  Why would they put an out-of-shape specimen like that on the court in full view??!!  He'd be fine refereeing a sumo wrestling match, but it just looks terrible and out-of-place on a tennis court.

Must be related to someone in Tennis Canada, or the guy who owns the stadium to get the job.  You would never see that at Wimbledon.  When we saw Federer win there in 2005, all the crew, officials, linesmen, ball boys and ushers were pukka-pukka to the back teeth.

Watching the women's semi this morning all you heard was whack, whack, whack, whack, whack, "out", as one or the other hit it out, or into the net after a boring, baseline rally.  Seems an awfully difficult way to win a point when you could come to the net and put it away.  No wonder they are so tired.

And I see Roger is sporting that unshaven look, which I don't like on him.  Usually he is so crisp.
