Question: Is Aravave Rezai reacting this way because of the outfit she chose to wear this week in Sydney or her collapse against Serena Williams in the semifinals today?
Answer: Please let it be a little bit of both.
The Frenchie held a set and a 5-2 lead over the world's top lady baller before feeling her own nerves and ReRe's better play, going down 3-6, 7-5, 6-4. Oops. The American will face Elena Dementieva, who crushed Victoria Azarenka, in tomorrow's final.
They both seemed to downplay the match with some interesting tidbits from the post-match pressers:
“For me, she was not too impressive,” Rezai said. “Of course she’s a good player, of course I respect her. But I could have won today. I wasn’t impressed. Probably it was more difficult for her to play against me. I know she’s a fighter but I am also a fighter."Uh, OKAY.
"Today I lost. Probably next time I will win.”
"Was I down that far? I didn’t even realize,” Williams said. “I don’t think she lost her way at all. I felt like I literally lifted my game at that point, because I knew I was going to be headed to Melbourne if I didn’t. I kept thinking, ‘I want to get a little more practice, and I’d hate for it to end now.”’It must be nice to know that while you're fighting for an important tourney win and a victory over a future Hall of Famer, she's looking at you as just another nameless, faceless practice partner.
But you have other things to be sad about A-Rez like this outfit. I mean, what is with this get up? After staring at it for a while (fine, 5 seconds is all it took) in disbelief, her cocktail number from last season has me wishing for more of that thing.
Word of advice Frenchie: it's never good to use hand-me-down material from other lady baller outfits espesh ones worn by Bethanie Mattek-Sands. TRUST.

LOL at the Bethanie comment!!
ReplyDeleteFederer is jealous of that dress.
ReplyDelete1) I did her umbrella in Sydney and while the dress was horrible she smelled so beautiful. The French even sweat classy!
ReplyDelete2) If this is bad then I would love to get your take on the hideous mint green thing Elena is wearing?
3) I also did the umbrella for Mr Ross Hutchins during 1st round doubles (he is in the final tomorrow by the way) and even though I am complete straight I would have turned in a heart beat. Hot.
wayne: 1) LOVE the insidery info there. Who knew A-Rez's funk would be fantastic? 2) I don't consider Yonex fashion 3) Rossie's hawtness knows no sexual bounds. I wish you all the luck (take pics if you can PLEASE.)
ReplyDeleteI tried taking photos for you mate and got my arse kicked by tournment staff but trust me he is looking damn fine. He had a massive female crowd around him and you could not wipe the smile from his face. That smile was enough to melt my heart.
