Well I missed Mark's match but luckily it rained today so they showed most of that match during the delay and I taped it. MARK HAS CUT HIS HAIR!!! I didn't know! :( At first it looked sorta like Sampras' do but waaay better. It makes him look younger but he looks more like a Greek God lol :) He played well and he's been working out! The leeegs! and he did a Rafter by chaging his shirt during the changeover and HBO actually kept the camera on him lol. Oh yeah.. back to his playing.. hehe.. well
yvgeney just got frustrated i think that's why he lost. Towards the end you could see he wasn't even really trying tsk tsk. Mark was patient, vollying well, serving well, good ground strokes, moving well on the court. I think Billie Jean King said it was the best movement she had ever seen from him. Martina N. was talking about how hard he hits the ball and that a couple of years ago she plaayed mixed
doubles against him and it was like running for cover when he came to the net lol.

And onto Rafter's match! He looked not tooooo bad. The gaotee's still there and his hair is all in one ponytail now :( I loved watching him play though. It was like the ol' Rafter was back. Volleying was superb! and the serving wasn't too bad except he needs more variation they said. They also commented on the fact that he relies on speed rather than strength. OO haha I noticed this as sosn as they showed him. His socks were kinda yellowish! It was funny cuz he's in all white.. the shoes are white except for a lil blue and red and then these yellowy tinged socks! :) *mental note: it takes me to notice that* Rafter was all over the net, guessing the ball well! Another funny thing was when he was about to serve, he tossed the ball in the air and then said "Sorry m'eye" <--- Sorry My Eye. lol Billie JEan King was laughing! I had to rewind 3 times to figure out what he had said! I think some rain drops fell in his eye as he looked up :) It was cute!

I have no idea when Goran's matches are. I haven't seen him on the schdule as yet. Sorry to go a li overboard abut these guys but I haven't been taking them on so much lately .. hmm.. maybe that's why they're doing so well lol but CONGRATS to Rafter for winning the Heineken Trophy!
