A-Rod... Why do you exist?

Well, it is 11.50PM and I could be doing the Russian Exam due for tomorrow morning. But instead I'm going to blog about my intense dislike for Andy Roddick. Yes, this is purely based on the fact that he keeps on beating Novak. No, I am not biased.

So. Aus Open, then Indian Wells?? Both tournaments where Nole was the defending champ, and both times defeated by A-Rod. Straight sets at IW and retirement at Melbourne. What is going on here?? Plus, it is causing a precarious slide in Nole's ATP points, right the way down to 8420, which is far too close to Murray (ARGH. Don't even get me started), at 7850. I literally cannot cope if he drops to #4. Ranked below Andy Murray? I feel physically ill at the thought.

But before '09, A-Rod and Nole had only met 3 times, two of which Nole had won, including last year's US Open. Why now? Well, okay the switch to Head at the beginning of the year possibly didn't help. But, after coming into IW from a win in Dubai, why did Nole let Andy get to him?

Who knows. But I ain't happy about it. Time for Carrie to arrange an accident for A-Rod...

Can someone please tell me exactly WHO Novak's girlfriend is, please?

For once, wikipedia (my source of life and all knowledge) has failed me. Because I am CONFUSED.

There are several possible options as to who Novak's girlfriend actually is:

1) Jelena Ristic, long-term girlfriend (approx. 3 years). An economics student, and one year older than him. Last spotted with him in Shanghai in November 2008. You can even find her on facebook (don't worry, i'm not that much of a stalker. It comes up with her facebook entry when you type her name into google. Although I did feel slightly joyous when I found out that I have more than twice the number of facebook friends that she has. This probably denotes my relative lack of real social life. I really need to get out more.)

2) Leryn Franco, a Paraguayan Olympic javelin-thrower/model/2006 runner-up Miss Paraguay (no, seriously). Apparently they met at the Olympics and she came to all his 2008 US Open matches. I just...have no words.

3) On/off Maria Sharapova? I've always thought that was just tabloid nonsense. But they do get awfully close for someone who is supposed to be in a long-term relationship with option #1...

(Yes, Novak's arm is around her)

Okay, can anyone clear this up for me? I am confused in the extreme. Maybe he dates all of them and just gets around a bit... Whatever works for him, baby I ain't judging.

On another note: ARGH THE AUS OPEN. I hate Roddick in the face. I think that says it all.
