Redemption does not hit the snooze button

If you don't know who this is:




I feel sorry for you. Clijsters made it happen tonight people. Down a set and a break to Venus Williams, she came back to secure her spot in the semifinals against Maria Sharapova. Get yourself learned here. I also feel sorry for my neighbors who had to endure my spurts of shouting at the top of my lungs during the match. You can't imagine how big this is. Kim is hands down the best player on the women's tour that has never won one of the majors in tennis (that's the U.S. Open, Wimbledon, the French Open, and the Australian Open for the unaware). I have seen her choke in every imaginable way in all of the majors and it kills me. One time she choked so bad I really thought I was having a heart attack - I had to mute the match for a while to calm down. It looked pretty bad in the second set of this one folks, I'm not gonna lie. I thought I was going to throw up at one point. Anyway, that is all in the past now. Two more to go. Allez Kim.

congrats to kim on beating venus. however, i don't think she'll take down sharapova.

on another note, are you going to watch Agassi-Blake tonight? it's being labeled the must-see match of the year. i'll tune in.

Agassi-Blake will be a great match, I'm tuned in as long as it doesn't interfere with Rockstar: INXS.

I hope Agassi wins so Blake's girlfriend will dump him and then I can scoop her into my loving arms.

I never knew Blake was a real person. Until recently, he was only known to me as the guy I always picked to play as (for obvious reasons) on Top Spin for XBox.

Last tennis match I watched? Sampras-Agassi 2002 U.S. Open.
