Superb! Where are the ones at the top from? Nice avatar btw.

In case it matters, the fourth (rightmost) girl in that picture is Jeisa's older sister Gracie. I think this Jeisa's family photo prove that. They look like a happy family. Mystery solved! Thanks. And cheers to Vini and dna for the new photos.

I'm back from London and Monday's play at Wimbledon where I got severely rained on. We got there in time for the gates to open at 10.30 and after the lengthy security checks headed straight to the practice courts to see who was getting in some early preparation. There were lots of people crowding round so it was hard to get a vantage point. I saw Radek Stepanek, Juan Martin Del Potro, Dinara Safina, the Radwanska sisters and Maria Sharapova. Literally five minutes after we got there it started to bucket it down with rain and the courts were quickly covered and the players vanished. Dmitry Tursunov actually came out of the players building and signed autographs in the rain which was really nice of him. We decided to go get some lunch at this point because they announced over the tannoy there was not gonna be any play before 2.30pm. This was my first time at Wimbledon and I must say it's quite a huge step up from the little tournaments like Birmingham. There's so many people and so much going on. Under Court 1 there is a huge food village which has every sort of thing you'd want to eat. We sheltered under an umbrella while the rain appeared to be getting harder and the sky greyer. It was this point that I worried that once again I was not going to see a ball hit in anger. Then, a ray of sunshine. The skies cleared, the covers came off! We headed to Centre Court. I was worried beforehand that my seats weren't good because they were quite far back but actually it was a very good view. Now I was excited because I was gonna see my tennis idol, Roger Federer, on Wimbledon Centre Court. The place filled up and he came out wearing his classic style white blazer and trousers which tore off at the knee. His opponent, Gabashvili, started well but after a while Roger kicked it into gear and was just too good in the end. He obviously wasn't playing at 100% though but he didn't need to. Afterwards I decided to have a look around the outside courts for a while but literally as I got there the rain came again. They uncovered the courts after half an hour and it rained again! They finally started again at 5.45. Bear in mind I'd only seen one full match so far. I saw the end of Schnyder vs Pin which was a very close affair. I don't think either of them like the grass and Patty's husband certainly didn't look pleased when she had to rescue a match point. She finished off in some style though with a couple of nifty drop shots. I remember at this point a couple of courts away Alicia Molik was playing and the Aussie fans were going crazy. They were definitely the most vocal on the day - really good supporters. I wanted to watch Henman vs Moya so I realised I wasn't gonna have much time to spend on the outer courts so I decided to make a quick tour and take a few photos. Back on Centre Henman was levelling up at 2 sets each and they carried on as darkness fell. I saw some highlights of this on TV later and you really can't get a sense of just how dark it actually was. It was freezing cold too. The atmosphere in the stadium was fantastic - the Brits really get behind Tim because he's our only real hope again this year. He had his four match points and everyone in the place was shouting and cheering like mad. It was great fun. Of course he couldn't take his chances and Moya levelled at 5-5 when it was stopped for bad light. I got interviewed by London Capital radio on my way out and they asked me whether I thought Tim could win it the next day. I said yes! Under Centre Court John McEnroe walked past me wearing his baseball cap and he looked in a real hurry, otherwise I might have asked for an autograph. I don't normally do that but it would have been pretty cool. So I left at about 9.30pm after buying a souvenir Wimbledon towel and having only seen one entire match. At least it was Federer so I'm happy but I definitely hope to get tickets next year for a sunnier day.

Sorry to Nina and Dajana because I know you probably wanted Jelena to win. Well these two could meet again in the Wimbledon quarter-finals.

Anna Chakvetadze bt Jelena Jankovic 7-6(2) 3-6 6-3 :hell yea!: Anna's first grass court title, 2nd title this year and 4th overall.

I will try to get some photos. The weather report for Monday is not good at all. I'm so unlucky.

These are great, thank you Matt. Does anyone have this one in HQ version?

I agree, it's good. In fact I love this time of year - grass court season - because they've got tennis on the BBC too and it's all day long. In Rosmalen it's Anna Chakvetadze vs Jelena Jankovic in the final. Jelena has won 51 matches already this year which I think is close to a new record in the WTA. She's insane! She literally plays every week without a break. I think she's trying to go for over 100 victories in a year. The Wimbledon draw came out today. What does everyone think? Most of the Brits got terrible draws. Henman drew Moya and Murray may well withdraw by Monday. Most of the girls drew seeds in round one. Actually the women's draw is similar to Roland Garros with a Justine-Serena quarter-final in prospect. I think the seeding committee should have swapped a few more seeds around to get the possibility of that being a final instead. I will hopefully be watching Roger play his opening match on Centre Court on Monday...

Oh well. You'll have to stay longer next time. London is lots of fun and there's loads of cool stuff to do. And I will be in London on Monday because... I'm going to Wimbledon! How is Belgrade btw?

More...

I'll post the rest of these to save Matt the trouble... from thecelebritycity.com

I think you are obsessed with eyebrows Matt. You said the same about Carol! :brows: She also has freckles on her lips. That's freckly! She looks cute in this pic.

Cintia!

These Simpsons things are everywhere. I heard on the news today that a Homer was stolen! Look where Cintia's sitting. Lucky Bart.

Jeisa!!!

It's Karen Elson. And the other model is Agyness Deyn.

Bigmouth Strikes Again (This isn't the real video btw.) Stop Me

Roddick won Queens again. I think it is his 4th time. However he had to save match point to do it and take two tiebreak wins in the 2nd and 3rd sets to get there. Roddick def Mahut 4-6 7-6 (9-7) 7-6 (7-2) I saw the first set and his opponent Nicolas Mahut of France is incredibly talented on grass. The poor guy now has to go straight to playing Wimbledon qualies. If his wins against Ljubo and Rafa had happened a day or two earlier I'm sure he would have got a Main Draw wildcard. Hopefully he can get through the qualies because he's a good player to watch. And at Birmingham: Jankovic def Sharapova 4-6 6-3 7-5 Both players to had to play their semifinals earlier in the day because of rain delays. Maria's semi against Marion Bartoli was further interrupted when a spectator fell and seriously injured her spine. She had to be airlifted to hospital in a helicopter. An elderly guy in the crowd also passed out and had to receive medical attention. This tournament has not had the best run of luck this year. I've got to claim my money back for my Thursday ticket when play was completely washed out.

I've probably got way too many Adriana pics but that's cos she was my #1 hottie for a long time. I've got ones of various others like Jeisa and Carol T but these days I'm far more discerning about which ones I keep.

Of course you do.

I followed the instructions for how to make them from the Bellazon photoshop thread. I know for sure from that video there's a certain part of Jeisa's body you particularly like. She knows how to deal with a "malfunction".

Daniela's back in the Top 10! This is after she won her 3rd round match against Daniilidou. She is currently in the middle of her QF against Bartoli which she's had to play on the same day due to the rain delays.

Thanks for these pics. I used to totally have a thing for Bridget a few years back.

What's all this Shinning business? Wasn't that on an episode of The Simpsons? It's called The Shining and it's definitely the best one. Stephen King didn't approve of it of course which is why he was involved in a crappy TV movie version. In fact the best Stephen King adaptations are the ones where King himself is not involved. Most of the productions he has a hand in are rubbish. Shawshank was voted the favourite movie of all time by readers of Empire magazine in the UK a couple of years ago.
