Wouldn't call it one in a million since one of the houses is described as a mansion :)

That was good.
I wonder how much a grand tour of Switzerland costs. I gather one week would be around $10,000, eating sandwiches at Swiss gas stations.
And I have always felt that Anne is one absolute beauty.

I really want to hate Anne Hathaway, but I can't. She really is good. I've been watching the WeWork series that she's in.

I remember once reading she was the most hated person in show business. I never understood why.

It's called Hatha-hate. "It's not really Anne Hathaway I 'hate,'" writer Sarah Nicole Prickett said in The New York Times. "It's all the lesser, real-life Anne Hathaways I have known — princessy, theater-schooled girls who have no game and no sex appeal and eat raisins for dessert."

She was a good champion but by now this "retire-unretire" thing is a bit puzzling.

I'm glad this last stab didn't work out. It wouldn't have been pretty. She wasn't in good enough shape. If someone wants to challenge themselves and see how good they can get again, more power to them. But it's more for themselves than fans or the sport. Right? Capriati was different, but she was still young.

I know, I know, I know. They are unpalatable nowadays, but Tiriac and Nastase carried a fair share of the load during the early periods of the Open era. I would not want to guess how many Eastern European players took up the sport due to Nasty being a success.

Not really an injury, per se...
