Last night I was lucky enough to go to the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Championship. For less than $5. I saw three matches. I have never been to a fancy schmancy tennis tournament. I had a lot of fun, but you definitely need good company because it can get kind of boring at times. But you gotta talk quietly...or you get people shhhing you. The first match was Vera Zvonareva (#8 female in the world) versus Jelena Jankovic (#1 female in the world). Jankovic, who is a bit dramatic, lost. Ha! The next match was supposed to be Serena Williams (Go USA! She is #3) versus Elena Dementieva (#5), but Williams had to pull out due to an injury. She did come out to the court to say a few words to the crowd. She has massive arms (they are probably bigger than my legs)...and a HUGE ass (it was hard to miss)! So Dementieva played Nadia Petrova (an alternate, but #11 female in the world). Dementieva (what a cool last name, it rolls of the tongue so nicely) won. Last up for the night was Svetlana Kuznetsova (#6) versus Ana Ivanovic (#4), but Ivanovic had to pull out because she got sick. So Kuznetsova played Agnieszka Radwanska (another alternate, but still #10). Radwanska won. My favorite match was probably the last because Radwanska is so young. And she is from Poland and not Russia like the others (except for the diva Jankovic who is from Serbia). Damn the Russians!!! Here are some photos:

Serena Williams. Again, massive butt. I only notice because I am a little jealous...
Good ol' American hot dog!

A lost kitty ran on the court during Dementieva's interview. Poor little scared kitty!
The important 'dudes in thobes' seats.
The angry Russian dude (in the Hawaiian shirt) who would yell in between points.
The security dudes...in thobes. Like they could do a whole lot in such mobile attire!
Radwanska.
Kuznetsova (BTW she is quite harsh looking...).
