Please don't forget me. { I'm going away. }
I'm taking a taxi to Kentucky where they don't even know all about me. I just need to feel s a f e.
I've got a thousand sweaters, and shoes, and paintings to hide the skeletons in my way.
But he said, "Slow down, slow down. Think it over, we've all got wretched closets, but silly girl pride kills more than Aids lately."
I said, "Come on, I thought it over. I don't wanna die here. I have no desire to get m♥rried."
Every night I pray for you, don't believe in heaven or that it could be a happy place.

Yeah, congrats to Hingis, but I think her doubles partner deserves mention too. Mahesh Bhupathi is a very good and established doubles player, and I think his experience helped to make Hingis' comeback a successful one.
Congrats to Federer, and to Baghdatis for making it a most memorable Aussie Open.

My point is that Bhupathi is not being given enough credit, because Hingis is getting all the attention with her comeback.
Navratilova played with Leander Paes, who was once Bhupathi's doubles partner.

right, point taken. i think you're completely right. But what can you expect? It's been many years since Hinghis has played, and her comeback has been one of the top stories of this year's aussie open.
But you're right. It does suck that one person gets more credit than the other, when both players were an important factor.

It's only been three years since Hingis retired. But yeah, I'm kinda sick of seeing Hingis this, Hingis that. It's a bit too much for me, and it's worse since I've never really liked Hingis during the time she dominated women's tennis. But I understand that it's more exciting to make Hingis the newspoint, I'm just sick of seeing stuff about how wonderful a comeback she's made repeated ad nauseam, because for sure the doubles title couldn't have been won without Bhupathi, and yet it's made as if he should feel privileged to be playing with her. I was actually pretty pleased that Kim Clijsters booted her out at the quarters.

ditto to that! all this hype about her comeback has overshadowed the performance of many others who have done so well. i dont think she's going to be very successful against the other girls in the top

i just felt like telling y'all
on friday i went to a tournament and my doubles partner and i were quite proud...b/c we got
"conselation A" which is the best out of the people who lost their first match. i think we did well b/c the first people we played were good...but b/c we never practiced playing doubles together we deserved getting only conselation and we also wanted to win b/c our coach said that our whole team was gonna lose that day and that he was going to go fishing
so we wanted to prove him wrong..(reason we didnt practice together...our coaches didnt make us play matches we just did drills and nothing really helped..plus she would leave and didnt stay to practice. 
)
we played 4 matches that day sets 2/3 and i didnt eat anything till 5:30. so i was running on empty. haha.
total:
GIRLS DOUBLES
1. me and my partner conselation "a" better
2. s.b. and b.c. 3rd "b" good
3. k. and f.h conselation "c" good but not as good as some.
GIRLS SINGLES
1. H.R. 1st "b"
BOYS singles and Boys doubles...haha no one won there. sad. sad. sad.

^awsome 8). That's way better than a participation ribbon =/. I'm guessing you are from Dallas. That must be sort of hard, with Brook Haven club being there and all, unfair advantage for kids with lessons all of their life.

im assuming ur talkin to moi. well ur from DFW right? so u might know where Coppell is? well i used to live there...but i moved near tyler tx...so..no it wasnt hard...but if we go to state this year it will be. we were supposed to play yesterday but got rained out...my coach (the 74 yr. old one..who has no idea what he is doing) yelled at me for being 5-7 min late (meeting at the tennis building & note this is my first time to be late EVER) he ASKED me at lunch very rudely if i was gonna be late next week for the varsity match...
he made me CRY. but i was SOOO mad i sorta...talked back and yelled at him. RAWR. 
i SOO hope he wont be here next year...senior year...i think i would quit tennis.

Thank you everyone! Our #1 singles is an exchange student from Germany, but he's asian. He cusses, and it's hilarious, because whenever he cusses, it is usually true.

Depends on where you live, competition could be fierce. After you play for a while though, it's more of a social thing rather than competitiveness ^ ^. Just have some fun....people get annoyed when you are too hardcore about it.
