I'm oddly offended by all-white sneakers, I hate them on anyone.

I don't know if I am alone here, but I have always thought that Petra is rather pretty. I know, very skinny, but she is cute.

Objection, Radek Stepanek. :) That was mean, I know.

What you say is true, and they are also all young. Young and fit gets you about 80% of the way there.

I never thought Juan Monaco was cute when he played, then I saw him off the court after he retired. Not only is he exceptionally handsome, he smelled amazing. I've mentioned this before, but I never miss a chance to say it again—Juan Monaco managed to smell fantastic in the US Open heat and humidity.

And for how long did you follow Juan Monaco around sniffing at him? :lol:

I was downwind. :) Actually I chatted with him for 15 minutes about a junior player he was coaching and I was writing about. I just sat behind him in the stands - on a side court - and asked some questions on changeovers. He was super nice. And I didn't recognize him. I couldn't see his credential around his neck and finally asked his name. I was mortified. But he looked a lot different.

I got a chance to see both Feli and David Ferrer in person. For me Ferrer is the more handsome of the two.

OMG. First thought: Megan is a stalker! Then, reading that part, I thought: STRAIGHT out of National Geographic: "The predator positions herself downwind as she hunts her prey..."

Re stepanek, there must be something very attractive about him..the way Vaidisova, even Kvitova at one time, were falling for him..
I suspect he is funny..

+ Hingis? (IIRC)
As you say: he married Nicole Vaidisova. TWICE. He must have some charms.
(Maybe he smells good? Megan? ;) )

Is that what we're calling it now, "charms"?

I have been burned too many times in my life (and here at the forum) for my choice of words.
So, if I am allowed a euphemism, I will make use of it. You can call Radek anything you want ;)
