[texasniteowl]

I need a celebratory drink! Stat! I survived both sides of Day 1! Whoo-hoo! (Vekic & Brooksby!)

People that survive both picks on any given day and come to the lounge to let us zombies know, get our special tea:

Cream and sugar optional.

All I really dare to say now is that after (many) years of advocating against picking against French players, especially at RG, I picked Nuno Borges... Who is playing a final set against Jacquet as we speak. I had other options. There is, possibly, something wrong with me

Not so much a loser as an "oops I forgot to picker". Barkeep let me chase the Green Fairy. Absinthe for me.

New rule: Don’t pick a player you don’t like. Bad karma.

Bejlek was actually supposed to be the best of the bunch, but hasn’t made much of an impression yet.

Good to know..will follow her more closely...Kostyuk is a really good player!

Aaaaaah. Somebody honoring the former name of this game.
Die in peace, and naughtily...

Was one set away from being double cheeked on the first day without winning a set, but Borges rallied from two sets down to win. I've been out multiple times in both pools in the first round, but I don't recall it happening on the first day.

Double cheeked after answering the siren call of Machac's thighs.
I'll have a double of that delightful looking tea you brewed up for texasniteowl!

Sure, soothing, relaxing, Matcha tea. We have that:

So you can ponder and meditate about the wise decisions all of us here have made, and find new ways to...
Oh, THOMAS MACHAC, you said!
Ok, we will get you the hemlock.

At the AO, I picked Sakkari and Osorio took me out. At RG, I picked Osorio and Aranxta Rus has just taken me (and 6 others I believe) out. Long story short, I'm not picking Rus at Wimbledon and will happily have a latte macchiato prior to making my day 3 ATP pick. I have no further ambitions than week 2 at this point.

Nah, C'mon. You are Dutch. Rus is Dutch. She is pretty, and you should be happy for her.
And you Dutch have some truly ghastly concoctions.
I found this:

I believe that one way of taking out a bad taste from your mouth is with something even worse. Let me know if I succeeded...

Aranxta's looks don't make this loss any easier to digest And jenever, ugh, worse indeed! Ever had the "pleasure" of trying that? (my late grandfather loved the stuff - one tiny glass each evening at about 7:30 PM

I’m just proud that i remembered that this is a slam that starts on Sunday. In the last couple of years, i’ve missed a few contests altogether because of forgetting to enter in time. So anything from now is icong on the cake. GH

[Irena2]

In here due to the dreaded no pick! Double-cheeked by my memory. Is there a drink that helps one's memory?
