A new US Open Tennis champion was crowned today when 20-year-old Argentinian Juan Martin del Potro bested 5-time champion Roger Federer was in a four-hour, five-set scorcher. Wow. What a great match! I love an underdog. Especially a 6-foot 6-inch giant underdog who stumbles over his English when awarded the trophy and asks if he can speak Spanish and then gets all choked up as the words finally flow out of him.
Beautiful.
Dontcha love it?
It’s even better when they’re yummy.
Look, I just report. The yumminess is empirical, pippa.
“Yummy” is precisely the word *I* would use to describe this delightful Spanish confection. Although if I stood next to him he could probably palm my head and pick me up… and with those arms, I’d let him.
Apparently, del Porto also cancels out Capa Federer.
“I’d just as soon destroy a stained glass window as an artist such as yourself. But, since I can’t have you winning the Open…”
*whunk*
“…please understand, I hold you in the highest regard.”
Forearms.
Yum.
/Apparently, del Potro also cancels out Capa Federer./
hahahahahahaha!
He IS yummy. I haven’t watched the match yet, but now I’m really glad I recorded it!
DANGIT! I only recorded 3 hours.
Frankly, it’s the whole arm that’s kind of undoing me.
No, sheila’s right. That forearm. Ok, the shoulders, too. And the biceps.
sarahk — Okay, so the whole arm area, no??
Yes, yes. The whole thing. You’re right.
I like the muscles all bunched up and the veins popping out….no, of course I didn’t get a magnifying glass!
