I have been a major sports fan for as long as I can remember anything. This has always been somewhat surprising to many of the men I meet as I guess it’s somewhat a-typical for a female to be such as sports fan. I’m not trying to indicate that I think it’s cool to be a-typical or suggest I think outside the box or advocate the why be normal lifestyle. In fact, if anything it’s been rather burdensome as few of my female friends ever want to get together on a Sunday afternoon to watch a Dolphins game or hang out at a sports bar to watch a Heat game, or even go to a game for that matter. Occasionally, as a unique afternoon adventure they will go to Marlin’s game with me, but all they want to do is eat, drink and talk gossip or about what they want to do that evening. They’re never interested in the game itself.

And so, while I’m not trying to make myself sound cool I’m also not trying to stereotype typical females, maybe this attitude and perspective is specific to my friends. But I also find issues regarding the subject when it comes to men. And here’s where I bet many men are going to disagree with me. Men don’t actually like me to be a sports fan. Okay, and I know that might be a little extreme, and more accurately it’s that they don’t like my degree of interest, knowledge and even passion for sports. At first they do. In fact at first they think it’s cool and some even think I fake it to make guys happy. That always cracks me up. If I’m going to fake something it sure isn’t going to be my love for sports, particularly Miami sports. In fact, if I ever have to move from Miami I’ll return when I can get a great deal for a hotel and a major game.

Meanwhile I think it actually intimidates men when they watch games with me, especially basketball games. I’m a huge basketball fan. I mean, I’m a huge fan of them all, but especially basketball. It’s my favorite sport and the Miami Heat is my favorite team. And I usually know more about the players’ stats, the overall team record, actually the whole NBA record and season status. I’m obsessed with it and believe me, at first guys think it’s cute when you correct them or always seem to know more. But after that happens, oh twice in a bar with a bunch of sports fan they really don’t like it anymore. Of course there are those that you only know from the bar or through work or whatever and they’re not at all intimidated by my passion for the game or my knowledge. In fact, I have the best conversation with them, people I hardly know and only see in bars. That’s pretty sad and I never thought of it like that. Ooops, gotta go, Heat’s game is about to start.

All was not well for champions and favorites currently playing at the Australian Open. Tennis. player shoe-ins perhaps felt it the hardest when they realized that their formerly favored position in the world wide ranking system of tennis got knocked around a bit during the next round of matches in Melbourne, where the current Open is being played out, along with all the drama it encompasses for tennis fans.
Ana Ivanovic had a tough year. Though she had it good in 2008 as a finalist, this go around at the Australian Open with Gisela Dulko cost her big time. She lost 6 to four during the 3rd set she played with her opponent. Ana was number last year, but unless her luck and game and Tennis Scores improves, she might lose that top seeding she held in 2008. Big time losses since her grand win at the French open do not bode well for her maintaining her stardom on the court.
It was quite sobering to see another young and hopeful champion rising through the seeding, a term that is often used interchangeably with ranking, have problems during play too. Marcos Baghdatis was a finalist during the year 2006 but David Ferrar, who was ranked as 17th worldwide in the world of professional tennis, won in their recent tennis match.
There have been over events that have made the career of Marcos in tennis a little less than stable and not perhaps the ever rising and evolving star that fans and coaches want him to be. He has had his ups and downs throughout the years, but hopefully he will stay on the up and up this year and make good on the mens singles title that other historic players such as the Ice Man have won throughout the years and made history with. Everyone wants the ball at the Australian Open Tennis games, but not everyone can have it as the trials and tribulations of these players demonstrate all too well.
