Beat down: A photo essay

It was really awesome to be courtside for some parts of this match, you guys. You can feel all of Masha’s panic. Dear laaawd, calm yo self! I mean, at one point she even laughed! I was sitting there trying so hard to not accidentally hurl my camera at her and then she suddenly laughed. Okay, it was more like a laughcry after missing her 1000th backhand of the night. But now what was I supposed to do? My urge to hurl was completely gone and all I wanted was to laughcry with her. So, that’s what I did all the way back to the hotel. But without her. Wah wah wah. (No, family and friends, I am still not gay.)

Masha was asked about Le Beat Down and she said, “it’s sport.” That was a sports moment. Whatev.
OH MAN. I would have hated to watch this in person. I love Maria and I hate it when she’s in matches that she has no clue how to win. Props to Serena for being the bigger man (literally)
