Give me a table outside and slather me with Blue Lizard sunscreen until my other cheek joins me.
How about just a plain blue lizard?

....WELL, in honor of my Pool choice of Bublik, who somehow always finds a way to look dirty and unsexy- I should be ordering a dirty martini. But, since I don't drink alcohol- just set me up with a burger and diet coke, next to something that is unclean and useless (and also not a current "presidential candidate", please.) Which is all we 21 Bublik choosers deserve. :gorgeous:

And I'm now done on both sides. Martic lead 4-1 in the 3rd set and lost it.

Now I need sleep, so something to knock me out?

I will leave my lizard friend to the sunny patio and move my double-cheeked behind into the air conditioning for the rest of the tournament thanks to Lajovic. My only consolation is that several other options I considered also went down in flames. A pitcher of ice cold, fresh squeezed lemonade, please, not too sweet so I’ll have an excuse for the sour look on my face.

I hear somebody here got some whisky. Maybe you want to sit with them?

Picked Caroline Garcia against my own rule of steering clear of French players as long as possible. So, here I am. Poop.

Ah, and Tiafoe sees me double-cheeked within the space of two hours. What a way to start the day :cry:

Yep, the ugliest side of the Aussie Open SP. You wake up to find out you are dead.
I picked Tiafoe with no confidence, so I deserve this.
4th day is not that bad, but also not that good. :cry:
