I dunno why this is so funny to me

Of all the tweets I've ever sent, none were as divisive as my livetweeting of Serena on HSN. She's on again in 12 minutes. Dilemma.

Serena is first showing us a short-sleeve ruched top. Comes in colors like "sand." She recommends wearing a top with leggings. ‪#serenaonhsn

Serena advises a caller in Texas to order a 2XL if that's what she usually wears. In disbelief that she didn't pick black. ‪#serenaonhsn

I'm impressed, she's sold about 4600 of the tops ($29.90 apiece) in about 15 minutes. Far brisker sales than She had in April. ‪#serenaonhsn

Serena: "I went down a size because I wanted you to see how flexible it is." Host: "YOU ARE SO SKINNY!" Serena: "It's the top!" ‪#serenaonhsn

Host calls the purple top "ruby," which makes no sense. Serena goes with "deep amethyst," which is far more accurate." ‪#serenaonhsn

New item: "Zigzag Shimmer Scarf with Fringe Detail." Serena suggests that this could normally cost $2,000. Hers is $19.90. ‪

Serena shares stories of past troubles getting blazers over her bust, now offers a stretch blazer. Solutions-oriented, she is.

"It feels like, I don't know, butter? Butter with a fabric?" -Serena on her hooded cardigan. She used that term last time, too. ‪

Serena recommends wearing the hooded cardigan to the grocery store so you "in the cold section [you] don't freeze to death." ‪
Quote:
Ben Rothenberg ‏@BenRothenberg

Host gushes that Serena has reinvented the cardigan. Serena points out that this hood is good for rain. "So functional." ‪
Quote:
Ben Rothenberg ‏@BenRothenberg

Serena repeatedly reassures a concerned caller that the red is "nowhere near the orange." Crisis averted. ‪#serenaonhsn

Re: ATP/WTA 2012 Tennis discussion thread + more hot wta pics than last year imo

A followup to the Wimbledon thread for giggles:

Rosol beat Troicki in 3 today.

Bet they were "treein'".... lol ok they probably combined for 50 unforced!!

edit: Ben Rothenberg seems as annoying as Serena and that's quite something.

well "they" can't be treein from my understanding of the term. only 1 person in a match can be treein if i understood that correctly (i.e. playing above your level to beat an opponent). in this case either rosol climbed that tree again or troikcki just sucked that day.

Has anyone here been to the Rogers Cup (Toronto masters) ? Is it possible to buy tickets on the spot (including the later rounds)?

I'm volunteering there this year and since they give us a bunch of tix for Centre Court on random days they've been telling us that if we want tix for Sat or Sun to definitely buy in advance. Tickets for Saturday (semis) and Sunday (final) are typically gone in advance. You might get lucky and be able to get 300 levels, but they cost $100 themselves and you'd be way better off paying the $160 for 100 level in advance.

Pretty much any other day you'll be able to buy tickets for Centre Court without a problem, but on Thurs/Fri you might get stuck in the 300s again. Grounds passes are sold when sessions are sold out but shouldn't be a problem and I really recommend going on the Mon/Tues/Wed (6th/7th/8th). On Mon/Tues you'll be able to get Centre seats fairly easily and on Wed get the best seats you can on the Grandstand Court (if Centre isn't sold out buy the cheapest Centre seat). Since the draw this year is only 48 due to the Olympics, the 16 seeds start play on Wednesday. Since Fed, Djok, Rafa + Canadians will likely be on Centre, they'll have guys like Murray, Tsonga, Berdych etc. on the Grandstand, and potentially even Delpo/Isner on outer courts.

Since the draw is so small, even the first two days should be pretty great and getting front row on the Grandstand isn't difficult if you get there early enough.

**** missed the edit. Qualifying is definitely worth going to as well. Free to get on the grounds. No play on Centre. Guys like Goffin, Paire, Tomic, Dimitrov etc. Qualifying weekend is usually pretty deserted too

I think Toronto has the potential of being a total bust as the top players have a high chance of pulling out due to the Olympics. I know that tennis is held on the first week but if any of the top 4 make the semis or finals of that tournament I wouldn't expect them to make Toronto.

Top 4 (at least) have confirmed regardless of Olympic results.

I've never heard the word "treein" before. But Rosol beating Troicki is not really a big deal. Rosol prefers clay, Troicki is awful on clay, and awful in general.

tree or treeing is a pretty popular term in tennis.. just means zoning. I'm not positive where it came from but my guess is from someone saying that someone was serving out of a tree

Don't see why 2 guys can't tree at the same time. It just means playing over your head. (like up in the trees....??)
