EW he is not sexy at all, too hairy, but i like him as a tennis player, definately a dark horse for the US open.

as for the Blind Item im going for Andy Roddick. hope its not Mirka

i think i just had a heart attack. omfg that boy is hot. i love it! the blind item is feli lopez? i don't know for sure, but it sounds like him.

the last one is my new wallpaper, lol thx!

I think DelPo is just gorgeous. Thanks for the eye candy today, Dani. :D I'll DEFINITELY be watching him at the US Open. LOL.

*gasp* Oh my goodness..... erm remind me to thank Mr. and Mrs Del Potro for making this beautiful a person. My pc is in danger of melting away lol.

And the blind itme is either Lopez or Roddick. It can't be Mirka Brit, that won't ever happen. :x

He is gorgeous. I knew ahead of time that Dani picked him for RSOTR. (I could think of no better choice.) Seeing him in the color photos is amazing. She and I were together in LA when we saw him. He was playing unbelievably well & had a lot of crowd support too.

i feel bad for allez's computer dying on her that way. you have to admit it isn't a bad way to go. i'm having trouble getting the last picture blown up for wallpaper. i won't quit lol. do we get a hint? if it isn't lopez, i say roddick~ those two don't seem in sync to me.

My pc is fine lol. I was wondering about Roddick and his gf. It's hard to tell because I haven't heard her speak at all. The blind item sounds too much like Lopez. Jealousy is a bad thing btw LOL.

RocketQueen, where is Dani? Did she get the interview yet?

Sorry Allez I can't tell you anything. Dani has to affirm that one on her own. You are so cute in your devotion! LOL.

Okay I won't ask again lol. I will be patient. :x

Your opinion only and I disagree. JMDP is gorgeous! :D

i can't believe that i would ever say this buuuuuuuuuuuut i agree with vdawg on this one. that young man is akward looking.

I can't believe you'd say that! Please look at those pictures again. Shame on you for even saying you agree with him lol. :x

she gave that answer, because she is a safinette. in her world nobody comes close. what else did you expect? lol. dawg doesn't factor into this. he thinks the whole atp is gay.

Yes he does that constantly I know lol. All of the ATP is gay, from the top people all down to the bottom rung of the ladder. That is an old tale lol.

Because he IS famous shouldn't discount a person's choice to say he is attractive. I sense jealousy in that post. You don't have to agree, but stop with the whole of the (stupid) thing dawg. that is not fair. :x

lol you are beating your head against the wall with him allez. release yourself from this argument. who cares? you think delpo is hot, so do i. someone else's opinion doesn't matter. he's a man looking at another man. do i have to go further? lol.

Women are drawn to money and power. It matters to a degree, I believe.

If you are curious, I have the authority's word that the blind item is not @ Mirka.

F-Lo or maybe ... Haas?

Oh, and for what my opinion's worth, JMDP is smoking hot. En fuego in more ways than one.

dejaB i take umbrage with you calling me a safinette (yuuuukkk!). do i come across as a psycho to you????????

servolova has gone to her room to pout.

lol hold on lova. safinettes are great people. psycho safinettes are not the same. you can tell. you are a safinette, without one doubt, but a good girl. come out of your room lol.

Thank GOD. I knew it wasn't her, but it was scary the way it was worded. :x

Lopez is I think a smart guess?

Very good to have gauloises agree with us about JMDP. Do you see that you are losing Brit and VDawg? LOL.

By the bye, Dani has a Facebook group devoted to her? I have an account on it, but before I add I wanted to make sure it was genuine.

a facebook group? she would have said it. where is the link allez, i want to see.

Team DdV did not create that group Allez. Contact the web administrators here to make sure, but Dani would have made an announcement about it.

Here is the link~~~~facebook.com/share.php?.../20080725/Dani's_Dirt:_Toronto,_part _2

i will wait for her to say it. i don't have an account there and i can't open the link.

There isn't much to it, a few pictures and the blog. It's not easy to tell for sure.

You are a broken record with this. Let us girls think he is sexy. It shouldn't mean a thing to you. Deja is right lol, I quit now.

By the way, this is my mental image of Dani:

http://www.cinematical.com/media/2006/06/vg_jrussell_gpb.jpg


And I can pay no higher compliment.

that blind item BETTER NOT BE mirka and king fed!

servolova is reaching for her pressure pills just in case.

i'm leaning towards andy as well. he is the only other person besides the aforementioned that would warrant an announcement i would imagine.

Hello there!

LMFAO at that picture from Gauloises. HAHAHA, if only my lovely, if only. ;)

Well, outside of a few dissenting votes, Juan Martin did very well today. He won his 17th in a row in DC. Next up, Haas in the SF. Do you think he has title #4 in him? Team DdV does!

Wonderful job you are doing, RocketQueen- my most sincere gratitude to you.

Allez, I have no idea about the Facebook group. I did not organize it, or have anything to do with it, neither did any member of my staff. If you like, as RQ said, send a message to the admins to clear up the matter.

Ms. Murray, a pleasure to have you on our side of the fence, as always. I see you have shown Mr. Del Potro a little love this afternoon. :)

Lova, you are not psycho. This board loves you, you Sweet Little Safinette.

Deja, you appear to be ambivalent about Mr. Del Potro. Do you approve or not? LOL.

FYI- still hard at work with the resident Mr. Prima Donna, who has at least sent me a response to the "Why did you refer to Cincy as a shithole?" question.

Ladies (and gents, as well) professional athletes are a unique breed of animal. Beautiful, pampered, and full of....drama? LOL.

Well, I'm going to keep on picturing it like that until I get photographic evidence to the contrary, so the ball's in your court, Dani.
A little surprised that you featured JMDP by the way, what with you being a personal friend to the Murray family and his Mama Murray-bashing ...

Oh drat I missed her. I didn't think that Facebook was real Dani, but thank you. I believe that JMDP has title number four in him without a problem.

Who *answered* the Cincinnati question in the first place? We still don't know! lol

lol i can't help it. when a boy is hot, I say so.

people can be friends with people who don't like each other. just don't put those two in a room together, or they will beat each other up with their rackets.

Allez, you forgot the rule we set up last week, just ignore it and maybe it will go away. If that Facebook thing is a fan page, then anyone can set that up, but if its a profile page then its bad that someone is pretending to be Dani.

I think the blind item is Haas. He has a reputation with the ladies, and if the Toronto incident is a true sign of his behavior then maybe his girlfriend is tired of it after two years.

Just fishing, DejaBlue.

You are right fangirl. I have to remind myself not to feed them. I had a glass of BE's special and forgot. *hides*

I didn't think about Haas but that is a good guess too. He looks smarmy to me. :x

that delpo murray row was blown out of proportion. he didn't say anything, and murray is known for being a nutcase, isn't he? it was dumb i thought. who says stuff about a guy's mom? i don't believe it happened.

pay mind to fangirl, allez lol. ignore that and it will disappear. feed it like a stray mutt when you are drinking and we won't get rid of it.

This here is all I based that comment on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muM-UQc_Tnk.
And as I said, I was only fishing. I'm a fan of both guys.

wow ok. i had not seen the video. now it makes sense, take it easy fellas lol!

LOL okay I will. No more drunk types while avoiding trolls. :D

In addition to having a hot face and a hot body, our man Del Po has a hot temper.

Pleasure is mine, Dani. Your wish is my command. :)

Evening DejaBlue and gauloises.

evening fangirl. if i could ask you, why do you think the b item is haas? i've been thinking it was lopez all day. now with what you said, i'm not sure. just curious i suppose.

Well, I don't know that much about Lopez, has he been with his girlfriend for a while? I suppose it could be him just as easily as it could be Haas. Im trying to think of the real woman chasing guys on the tour. Haas is definitely up there, so is Safin but he doesnt have a girlfriend. I don't think its Roddick and his girlfriend because they seem to be together so often he doesnt have much chance to cheat on her. The word drama makes me think of Haas, with all his yelling and swearing on court.

I think I read that Lopez and his WAG have been together for three years. Fangirl's hypotheticals are great lol. Haas is very surly (sp?) on court. I don't like his antics tbh. :x

sure fangirl that makes good sense. i didn't get much into the haasi worship. he's ok but not great. everything i've heard about lopez makes me believe it could be him.

Feliciano Lopez and his WAG started dating in 2005. I believe they are engaged now, but you have to check on that Allez. Haas is pretty, but highly overrated.

Del Potro plays him in the SF today. I sense a win. Four titles in a row how great! :)

Ahm... btw sorry I have not the foggiest who the other two semis are. :x

nobody cares lol. haas doesn't have a chance. watch delpony kick the crap out of him. ring up title number four, i'm positive.

It was more destruction than we thought! JMDP gave up a total up 3 games. Watch out for him in NY, he is on a tear.

lol i knew i was right. haas had no answer and no trouble for delpo in the finals. hot summer for a hotter player.

The only thing that worries me is his schedule. Surely he is tired now? Before the Open I think it would do him good to rest. Possibly skip the Pilot Pen tournament to rest.

i dunno. at barely 20 he could survive it. better he skips it probably. wait and see what davin tells him to do if he wins #4 tomorrow.

His interview today sounded like he would skip it, but obviously he didn't go out and say for sure one way or the other.

Thank you for the update! I really hope he will skip it.

ok great. he has three now, he'll get the fourth, no sense risking burn out for a fifth. dunno @ passing into the second week of the open. i hope he will.

lol do you ever get tired? he has a good chance with a good draw. keep your doom and gloom to yourself until we see who he plays in ny.

Please ring me when you have time Diva DeVine. I have news from our boy in NY that you will be interested in. ;)

lol no fair! we want to know what you guys are doing. update soon plz!

forgot the celebration when delpony wins four today. vik is going to get his you know what handed to him. poor babe.

I watched the sf on tv last night. If Viktor serves well, he has a shot. Okay granted not a big one, but a shot anyhow. :)

Keep calm. LOL. All of your demands will be answered in good time dear.

Hoping it isn't Mirka and the Fed Express!! His year has been tough enough.

Juan Martín del Potro is nice on the eyes no doubt about it!! Even being 5 years older than him I would feel like I was robbing the cradle - but a nice way to start the week - thanks Dani!

Congrats to Nadal. 18th and officially numero uno with gold!

FB Group... I was about to go looking for one but if the link above isn't the great lady herself I shall let it pass.

I honestly think I would lose what is left of my mind. :x

Did you see him win gold in doubles? That was incredibly lovely for him and for Stan. It may take a bit of sting out of the Blake loss.

If you are a cradle robber....... erm okay I won't go there lol! Four titles in a row for him now. He must be considered a threat for the Open.

i knew he had this one. lol poor viktor had no chance.

fed ex and mirka will never break up. they are pretty much common law spouses, being together for close to the last ten years. until i hear it otherwise i say lopez or like fangirl's thoughts about haas.

helloooooooooooooooooo....anyone home????

You know what's happening, our little Safinette. She's working on a big score of ATP "sexy." In due time dear, in due time.

i agree that del potro is a very talented player. actually,i've discovered him last year at roland garros when he played rafa in the first round. but i refuse to jump this "del potro bandwagon" just because he won two titles in the USA. why do all players have to do well in the USA in order to get a recognition? until very recent time,novak was much more popular than rafa in US just because of their results in the Open. this is just like John Isner hype. he just got to an Atp final just like so many other players on the tour but last year,he got the most attention because he's an American.
for the blind item,i doubt it's Haas or Lopez. if it were them, there wouldn't be a term like "super-couple" so,it must be a more popular person. i suspect it might be novak or rafa as they were "flirting" with maria and ana respectively.

winning four titles in a row is an outstanding effort. he deserves a bandwagon! lol john isner is not important. put him in a photo shoot like the one above, and nobody would buy it. del potro will go far at the open, i predict that.

DejaBlue | 8/18/08 5:34 PM

".....put him in a photo shoot like the one above, and nobody would buy it."

i am in tears...literally. i really needed this laugh.

right. nobody would buy anything with an unclothed isner in it. he is the type you pay to keep them on! i am not saying he is a bad guy, but he's really unattractive.

you know i actually think he's cuter than del petro. that bottom left pic gives me the willies. ick.

Have to disagree with you servolova and agree with DejaBlue ... JMDP is hot stuff, clothed/unclothed/dripping wet/bone dry. Whereas Isner? That thing he does with the racket between the legs and carrying the towel in the mouth ... *shudder*.

If we're paying Grandpa John to keep his clothes on, I'll chip in. But to each their own.

see, i am part of a club now. jmdp is part of the new wave. expect him to be on the walls of many women's rooms.... *hot*

Be nice to Isner. He seems like a genuine person. He is maybe not the best, but he is nice looking. :)

lol you are too nice allez. isner is strange looking and all limbs. he will not be on anyone's wall in the future believe that. good serve in his game, but nothing else.

lol,i wasn't talking about isner's appearance,i have no problem with that. in fact,i find him much cuter and attractive than del potro. but i was talking about his game.

I tell you RocketQueen you keep us on the edge of our seats....

I am not entirely sure what is happening now myself, Miss BE. Maybe another hint will draw her out of her cave. LOL. (Diva may feel at ease to remove this hint, if she likes.)

She sent me part of the interview notes with Mr. {edited by DdV @ 11:57, because RQ has a big mouth! ;). He is quite a flirt as well as a drama queen, I will tell you that much.

For what it is worth, I am in agreement with sisterofnight. Johnny is cute. Taller men have always turned my head.

damn i didn't see it before the edit lol. i have bad luck or no luck at all. you are crazy girl just so you know. there is nothing that isner has to outrank delpo. game or hot level.

RocketQueen, JMDP ain't exactly a midget! 6 foot 6 of pure Argentinian goodness, my oh my. Not to be kicked out of bed in a hurray.

delpo w/d from new haven btw. i am glad he did. too much effort in a short time. rest up and kick *** at the open!

Somehow I knew she was going to edit his name out of my post. Tsk, tsk so skittish. LOL.

I am pleased JMDP has decided to skip this tournament. He has to be very tired now. It was a good decision. Not a midget either. LOL.

i don't suppose you would put it up there again rocketqueen? i can keep a secret shhhhhhh lol. :D

No I will not. LOL. One time per day, having her yell at me is quite enough TYVM.

Terrific! One day out of how many that I work longer than the others?!! I am gone and miss the one piece of news I was waiting for. :x

Good news about JMDP. He didn't need it. His team was smart to make him take a break.

you can't say i didn't try lol. i've read back a little bit. i think i might have an idea. lol a day late and one dollar light allez.

Maybe it's just me, but in those last two pictures he looks like an Argentinian version of Robin Colecourt from Cheers.

lmao that's hilarious! at first i couldn't see it, but the last one does, smirk & all. i will try to find a link pic to compare.

here is one of the stock photos when he was younger. roger rees was that guy on cheers.
http://home.zonnet.nl/jhibels/rees/2aacc030.jpg

What am I not seeing here? I don't connect the two at all. :x

look again! there is a resemblance if you look closer.

Raise your hand if you have more than one screenname here at TennisTalk and you basically have conversations with yourself in the comments sections while pretending to be different genders from different countries.

You know who you are. You are ill. Please get help. It's not appropriate for your age or for the career that you say you want for yourself.

I still see nothing close Deja. I need correction lenses LOL.

Erm.... lol @ fangirl's post? I don't understand it but I hope you are okay. *squeezie*

I'm fine, but I have to wonder why anyone would feel the need to use more than one name at this site and leave phony comments all over the place. It's just mental, if you ask me. It's not very nice either.

people get crazy online. we saw that recently. lol don't worry about it allez. i just thought they were a little close.

It never occurred to me that anyone would have more than one handle here. I tend to have conversations with myself.

See. Just like this!

hehehe... I wonder who you mean?

lmao! that was great be. i didn't want to say, but i have a guess who fangirl meant. he is a piece of work.

i talk to myself all the time too. nothing wrong with that. when messed up, i should tape myself doing it, lol!

Well of course, all kinds of logical people talk to themselves because it helps them organize their thoughts. That is different from taking the time to make up names, make up genders and lives to go with those names (oh this one will be a female blake fan, and this one will be a male Nadal fan and this one will like Federer and this one will be Russian), then go around this site trying to convince people they have lots of different readers. It's either mean or it's mental.

Deja, you are smart. It was a 'he', as far as I could tell. BE, you are smart enough that I would listen in on your conversations with yourself.

Love the compliment fangirl... current thought is "missing DdV... When's the next update.... patience is supposedly a virtue"

i knew it fangirl it was easy to tell. agrees with be also. i want another update too!

Come on, Dani, don't leave us hanging!

On holiday suntanning. It must be a tough life in between assignments. I wish I had it so good. LOL.

There was an interesting article about Novak Djokovic. Have a look for yourselves.

http://www.zimbio.com/Novak+Djokovic/articles/103/Nole+ s+newest+trophy

I'm going to steal a joke I heard someone else make and say that she probably thought he was a javelin.

so much for his wholesome image lol. he's a player too. i can't say i am surprised. if you saw his interview on jay leno some months back, he talked about how the quality of girls who chased him had improved. an olympic athlete is a step up.

dani one of the well known sports guys mentioned you today. is he writing the stuff for the uso again? i was well impressed.

Excuse me?! LOL. Who is it and why didn't I know about it first? I have an idea if this is the same Westie from my area.

Hello there!

I am just taking a break to enjoy the sunshine. :)

Thank you for the lead on the Djokovic article, RQ. We'll get to him soon, with the Open coming up now. I take it you will be making the trip to NY with one of the Spanish Armada.

DB, please send me the article link. Matt Cronin was the only journalist to send me an email this afternoon, so I am not sure to whom you are referring.

lol @ cronin. he was not the one i meant. i sent you a link in your mail. i am all for a djokovic spread if possible.

any faithful TennisTalk.com fans here want to have some kind of U.S. Open pick 'em contest?

I am terrible at picking things.... but why not.
I do wonder if there will be prizes or will we just be participating for the glory....

Matt Cronin sent you e-mail???? NICE. :)

boooooooooooooooooooooooo......booooooooooooooooooooo.....booooooooooo !!!!!

servolova is booing dani just like the indian wells mob booed serena.

she is mad as hell and not having it!

LOL such a strange sensation being booed. Even the players take time off, so be nice.

What type of prizes would you like to play for, BE? I am terrible at picking things as well. We can be wrong together. ;)

Ms. Murray- always so nice to have you visit this side of the fence. You have a copy of Mr. Cronin's email to me in your inbox. :D

it's all your fault dani, you've spoiled me. plus i'm tired of looking at that del petro character everytime i get on here.

I don't see the Cronin e-mail in MY inbox!?!?!??!

Naturally. The Spaniards are the most accommodating of the lot. Staying in NY is ridiculously expensive you know. Warms me to know the tab will be on someone else's Red Amex.

I love Spaniards. Has somebody mentioned Verdasco recently? Moya? :D

Dani - gracias on the e-mail. I find the photos of Del Potro just LOVELY, by the way.

BTW - fangirl, you're my new hero. LOL.

Cheryl is another team member for the Spanish Armada? Lovely. LOL.

I'll keep it brief, but Dani can tell you a story about Moya. He is a nice fellow. {fans self}

I am all for a mention of Verdasco at any time. :D

Oh yes - the Spanish Armada. Sigh. I forgot Ferrero (how could I forget Ferrero?????)

I'm sure any story about Moya is a good story. He certainly SEEMS like a nice fellow.

Verdasco should be mentioned as often as possible. :D

ferrero is drop dead gorgeous. add my name to the nando list too. i dunno but moya not so much for me.

Cheryl, I bow to you. I am honored by your compliment. Here's a contest, but no prize. Guess which two posts between 6 pm and 6:12 pm were written by the same person with two different names?

Hello there!

I love to come home to a love fest, especially at night. :)

Hello there, Ricky! Nice to see you on this side of the fence.

You are welcome for the email, Ms. Murray. Mr. Cronin is good people. So is Verdasco- I swear, outside of Juan Monaco, he's in the best shape of anyone on tour.

RQ, our Ms. Murray and I are two of the leaders of the Spanish Armada cheerleading section. Ferrero is a living doll.... Moya is dangerous, that's all I will say. If you are referring to the orange sofa story- Cheryl already knows. ;)

Lova, my little Safinette! I sent in the blog update for tomorrow. You may retire the "boo Dani" posts.

Oh Fangirl. I JUST DON'T KNOW. I mean it could be ANYONE, right? Do we know anyone with a habit of making up lots of user names on a message board? I just can't think of anyone who meets that description.........*wrings hands*

dejaBlue - Moya is an acquired taste, I think. I can certainly understand why he wouldn't appeal to some people (I'm not one of them, of course....).

Dani - the orange sofa story :D

Hi, I'm new :)

I'm thinking the couple might be Safarova & Berdych.

Thanks for the blog, Dani. It's a great read!

lol @ cheryl. it is his face that doesn't do it. sorta squished up in places. nice body though. heyyyy no secrets and code words. what is the orange sofa story?

Hello Alekutza! Welcome to Team DdV. Glad to have you, and thank you for the kind words. :)

There will be no discussion of the Orange Sofa story here, DB. We are an all ages site, LOL.

booooo no fair! fine, lol i'll be here when (if) you change your mind. :D
